Currently, the Exception Types are created by users manually typing into the combo box within the Exception Stage's properties.
This often leads to multiplication of the same exception type due to typos, misunderstandings, etc.
Example below:
This in turn becomes a nightmare when it comes to reporting, as often a hard set rule cannot be followed for extrapolating these from the overall pot.
I suggest removing the ability to add new exception types by typing into the combo box, and instead make it a privileged action within the System settings.
For example within the already existing Exception Type screen:
This could be done by implementing an "Add new exception type" action on the side panel, below the already existing "Scan processes"

As we transition to Processor Workspace we noticed there isn't an option to Clear AWD Web Cache (as there was in Classic Workspace). Once we start using Processor this option is no longer available to Users. Could we have this option added to Processor Workspace to match what was available in Classic Workspace?

Hello BP Team, When looking at the logs or navigating through pages, along with the Previous and Next page buttons there should have option to go to last page or skip to a certain page. I've had to skip through 40+ individual pages of log data. This is not the most user friendly. At this point we' have already had examples of 500+ pages. How do we navigate through this and find what we need? It's already an issue internally here that we cannot export any reporting from Next Gen. This has posed a challenge early on with our Next Gen experience. Thank you,

Although the setting 'start a personal runtime resource on this machine when users sign in to Blue Prism' affects the whole environment and I assume it is rarely used (why would someone start BP to make it act as a runtime resource that then takes over the workplace?! why not start the process directly in Studio or send it to a dedicated runtime resource?!). By default (at least in 6.9 not sure about 7.3.x yet) each user will register his workplace as possible runtime resource, mixing it with dedicated runtime resources and needs to be removed manually. Having a private runtime resource start when starting BP UI may also cause issues with network ports and other system resources. Currently the only option to deactivate the 'start a personal runtime resource' is to login into BP and change it manually, on each workplace/resource, which can only be done with BP admin rights, so users are not even able to change settings for their own workplace. Some ideas on how to improve the situation: make the 'personal runtime resource' disabled by default make it a system wide setting allow users to change this setting for their own workplace have this setting easily changeable in an automated way. eg via CLI, config file (that can be amended during install process) make it a centrally managed feature of a runtime resource/workplace similar to eg logging levels that can be changed in System\Resources\Management any other possible idea that might help but is not listed here

We would like to request a file upload status progress bar or spinning wheel to the Create and Link Attachment window when someone is uploading an attachment. When uploading larger files, we have seen users click the 'create' button multiple times as they cannot tell the file is still trying to upload. This causes multiple sources to create for the same file and can impact response time for the application.

Hello all,
Thanks to Interact tool, which allows the creation of forms for interaction between Human Worker and Digital Worker, we have come across different business opportunities related to the use of mobile devices and tablets, which our client uses as company devices.
However, although we have observed that Interact tool is very powerful for Human-Robot communication, we have realized that when the interaction is carried out through mobile devices and tablets, the virtual keyboard does not appear on the Authentication Server home screen to enter user credentials. This problem, on the other hand, does not occur once access to the Interact application has been granted.
Kindly thumbs up and support the idea to solve this interaction problem on devices such as mobile phones and tablets. This would allow to expand the business lines and automate processes that are currently not possible due to this issue.
Best Regards.

Idea: Introducing the Use of EMPTY or NULL STRING in Functions for Handling Empty Parameters, Similar to TRUE or FALSE in Decision Functions. Description: Context: Many functions encounter limitations when dealing with empty parameters. In such scenarios, it becomes imperative to incorporate the concept of EMPTY or NULL STRING, akin to the presence of TRUE or FALSE in decision functions. Example: Let's take the case of the "Replace String" function. Often, there's a requirement to substitute a string with nothing or an empty string, but the function doesn't permit this action. Illustration: Consider the string "ABC-4444333123356" and the desired outcome is "ABC-4444123356". In the above instance, if the string "ABC-4444333123356" is dynamic, the aforementioned feature would prove exceptionally valuable. When the option of leaving a field blank is disallowed, the availability of EMPTY or NULL becomes essential to generate the intended output. In scenarios like the aforementioned example involving the dynamic string "ABC-4444333123356", the functionality described above holds significant utility.

The Custom Search option for Processor Workspace is a very welcome enhancement. However the Saved Searches show at bottom of a list and when large amount of Searches this makes Custom Searches less helpful than they should be (because need to screoll through 30+ searches to get to Custome Searches). Could we have Custom Searches show at the top of the Search list?

Current behavior: If you add, edit, or delete an environment variable and then navigate away to another tab (away from the System tab) without clicking Apply and then come back to the System tab and go to environment variables, you'll see that your add/edit/delete wasn't actually committed to the database. This is not a great user experience. What makes this even worse is that at least in v7.3.1, you can navigate to another part of the System tab and then come back to Environment Variables (thinking this will have refreshed them), and you'll see your updates are still there. Only when you navigate away from the System tab and come back are you able to identify that the change was discarded. I know someone who once deleted hundreds of environment variables that weren't needed anymore only to find out later that all that effort was negated because he didn't see the Apply button at the bottom right or simply forgot to click it. Suggested new behavior: As soon as you navigate away from the Environment Variables screen, a modal dialog popup should show asking whether you want to Apply changes or not. It would be awesome if it told you what environment variables are affected but that isn't a big deal to me. Secondary suggested new behavior: 6 years ago, someone made a good suggestion here, but that was back before the current version of the Blue Prism Community, so I wanted to bring it here in the Ideas section. The suggestion was to add some kind of indicator next to each environment variable that was added/updated showing that the changes have not yet been saved. I think this would be nice but isn't required, in my opinion. If this suggestion has already been made in the Ideas section here, I couldn't find it.

Currently in Decipher, there is no way to adjust the column width of a table. This becomes extremely problematic when there are more than 4 or 5 columns in a table. Because you are unable to adjust the column widths, it makes it virtually impossible for a user to validate that the information has been extracted correctly. The user can't see what information is in the box because the column width is about 1 character wide. Decipher has the ability to split out the image/document into another screen and make the DFD appear on one screen but even then, the table remains small (doesn't display the length of the screen like all the fields) and also doesn't allow you to adjust the column widths.
Update: In version 2.2 you can now adjust the column widths of a table but you are unable to save the widths. You should be able to adjust to a certain width so that every time you go into a document, the width of each column remains. Asking a user to do this on each document is cumbersome and tedious.

When the 'Edit/Delete Rows' functionality is selected in the Table Operations for a UX Builder table, we would like to have the option of being able to perform specific actions, such as executing a service for example, when the user edits a row and then clicks the Update button: Since this functionality does not currently exist, it is not possible to update a row of information on a table directly from UX Builder into a custom table on the database.

Hi BP Team, The ability to select and mark multiple queue items as exception. Not having this option was a bit of a surprise. What happens if you need to mark a huge volume of items? I had to already and it took long. The data provided to the queue was bad so I could not retry and didn't have much of an option. There should be an option to make changes to multiple items on a page regardless of the status. Having to do one at a time when you have a large volume items isn't practical. The items also can't remain in a pending state because then the DW will pick them up. Along with that, an option to empty a work queue would also be nice. Having to then select all delete multiple pages of data, if ever needed, can also be unnecessarily tedious. Thank you,

There is a search field in Control to find resources but there is no such feature to search for processes. I think a feature for easily finding processes would also be helpful in Control as it helps in Studio

Clients want to run a lookup or report by selected LOB that will bring back results of all Classic or Dynamic Forms on portal that call for the selected dataname. This would ultimately be a cross-reference utility, like what is being created for UX Builder.
When a change is being applied to an LOB dataname, clients don't always have visibility in what other processes are calling in Forms that use the same dataname. This cross reference lookup would identify those forms, allowing the clients to see if they need to make changes on the forms.
I have attached a screenshot showing the xref table in UX Builder as an example.

My client (on 23.x) having the following suggestion on the new Process workspace. In the Work object, currently when user view the History and select to Export, he need to export the History; Process; Services tab one by one. Client wish to have the function to export all of them (maybe in separate tabs in the exported csv) in one go.

Work in a users worklist is not currently considered during the GetWork event which results in work from the open queue being assigned. Work in the Worklist should be assigned over the open queue, just as Personal Queue work is assigned first when Get Work/Process is selected in Viewstation. Management often assigns work to users to ensure it is completed first, and the work not being prioritized could result in work not be completed before its required deadline.
This is also problematic when working Estub IPP/IPC items with the Processor Workspace and TA 2000 Desktop, since the external systems will only open with a GetWork event.
