Hi Team, While developing anything in Blue prism. we may have to write descriptions, action name page name. While writing those if we get spell check suggestion it would be great. If we change the spell or not that is up to us but spell suggestion will help and reduce lot of time.

I think it would be useful to be able to validate the schema of work queue items before they get added to a work queue. My thought is an XSD validation string or or some such mechanism could be associated with the work queue. The Add to Queue action could use it to validate that the data being added to the queue is valid before proceeding. The advantage of this is that processes that use the work queue would be able to safely assume that any data entered into the queue is valid. Further, it would mean that exceptions due to invalid data would happen at the time that data is being added to the queue, as opposed to when the data is being read from the queue. On a practical level, this may not happen often since users should be testing what data is being added into queues before going live with it. However, this would still be a gain because it would be one less thing that you have to think about while building processes.

Currently, the views of owned cases by teams or team members is limited to 10 cases per page (with the ability to page through). Would like to see this increased to at least 50.

When hovering a Stage, some of its properties are shown. At the moment they are: Name, Expression Description. Quite a strange order as the Stage properties window shows Name, Description and then Expression. Can the order of the hover information be the same as in the properties?

Would be nice to have a possibility to group work queues in case there is more than one work queue for a process or there is a wish to split by countries etc. The work queue list is getting too big when there are more processes developed.

Adding new environment variable is possible by importing a new release but if we want to update the values of environment variable then we have to do it manually. Right now it can't be done by importing the release. Please ignore if its already handled in new version of BP.

In the CSV export generated from the control room for the queue content, we don't get any column that tells the state of the item and whether the item is in the Pending / Exception / Completed state. Of course, there are some workarounds to segregate items as per the state but the blue prism should be having a specific column for this in the CSV export. Also, this will give businesses a better clarity on queue content to understand Pending / Exception / Completed items and eliminate manual efforts in data manipulation.

Ability to see if any BP clients are connected to BP server, if they have any objects opened etc. We can already see if there is any activity from resource PCs, but there is no information about normal BP clients. For example, if we need to reboot BP server, we need to know if anybody is currently working on something, has opened objects etc As I would assume a developer working on a process would probably loose some work during a server reboot. A system workaround I had to use is relatively simple, but internal BP functionality with more detailed information would be very useful. "netstat -a 1 | findstr 8199" - simple enough to see if anything is connected to the 8199 port

Hi,
Currently finding the documents in the portal is a bit tedious, we can search document based on the name but most of the time it returns either a list of unrelated docs or no docs.
For e.g. searching for 'browser' returns no result but we have docs with name like Chrome Integration, etc which is related to browser.
If possible, please make the document searchable from the search bar itself so that find the document is quick and easy. Thanks

Hello, As most of the Organizations are moving towards latest versions of Office tools for security reasons and still the Mapiex VBO is not supporting for 64 bit Outlook. We have around 60 process are in production & our client wants to upgrade the office to the latest version. In this case we need to modify all the process in production to the MS Outlook Email VBO while reading/Sending Mails. Please suggest is there any new versions of Mapiex is going to release near future or we will modify the all existing process using MS Outlook Email VBO. Regards, Mahesh Reddy L

Hello, It would be really useful if we could find references to specific Web API actions, I know we can view references to the Web API itself but we don't have a similar view for a individual action. At the moment, if the API itself has a breaking change and requires some re-work of the Web API in Blue Prism, you have to manually go through each reference to that Web API to see what is impacted by the change.

This can be a future enhancement to Decipher. We can add a dedicated email ID for each Decipher instance where if a user can directly send documents to that mailbox. And then Blueprism/Decipher would trigger automatically and process document and keep export-ready.

Hello, So I've been using the Graph API integrations from the DX ( https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/search?keyword=graph%20api&page=1 ) and some of them work exactly as expected, out of the box - such as Get Manager for example. From this you get a collection with manager details (names, email, etc.) However some items from the APIs are much more complex. For example to manipulate a spreadsheet you need to start a session, submit a JSON payload with the content, and then end the session. It would be really useful if there were actions that tied this stuff together. So for example if you passed along file location type (user,drive,site), the ID of the file location, and the file ID and then a collection with items you want to add to the table. The action could then start the session, converts the collection into an appropriate JSON package, and then closes the session in one action. Similarly with SharePoint if you wanted to get a collection of list items by field. You could pass along the site, and list ID and then the action would output a collection of the actual list items at the end. Otherwise you must build something manually to extract the collection as the output is a series of nested collections and make it difficult to use the data from the list easily. I'm sure there's many other examples that require a mix of VBOs in order to achieve something. The Graph API integration is great but I'm not sure it's appropriate for many users as it's very complex and if you expect people to use Blue Prism who are not very technical as part of centre of excellence teams I would expect it would be difficult for people to really take advantage of these actions.

It seems machines (runtime resources & workplaces) are always identified by their host names, regardless of system settings. In our case our settings were: register using short names, communicate using FQDN However, the registration considered short names and FQDN and caused issues after DNS name change that made manual DB updates necessary. The machines were verified based on their short names in BPAResource and Blue Prism crashed because of FQDN mismatch. The only reason to chose 'register using short names' is to avoid long FQDN names in Control. Therefore: 1. add settings for short/FQDN in Control that is independent on communication and registration 2. always register and evaluate FQDN and never short names only

After fetching credential values from credential manager, a developer can easily view the password by using simple calculate stage.
We are giving access to developers to utilize them for their automation process design. If a developer really want to view the password, he/she can easily view it with this loophole. BP tool should prevent casting from password-type data items to text-type data items. Thanks, Nagarjuna A

There should be a checkbox and in the App Modeller where you can hold the currently selected attributes. Example: Once you have decided the best attributes to describe elements for a given application, normally you would then just use those same attributes for a lot of elements that get modelled for that application. This would speed up Dev time when creating objects. It would also mean that Devs would spend longer finding the best attributes to define elements for a given app as they can just use the same attributes for all. Another possibility is if you can click on an element and then use a 'Format Painter' to then select all the same attributes on other elements. This could be an even better solution as then you can have a preferred set of attributes for the different spying modes.

Enhancement request to have the ability for the system to tell you if the user being disabled is an owner of a case like it does with work in the worklist. Product Management provided the following feedback as to enhancements in the works:
We have User Admin requirements in play right now and this use case has not been addressed yet.
User Admin is undergoing enhancements to support the ability to DEACTIVATE a user ... which is different than just disabling their status.
Today, disabled is both a temporary and a permanent availability status.
When you intentionally disable somebody ... it is because you want to take away permissions (security, privileges, configurations for various teams - like a case team). We check today to handle assigned work. We don't check on any memberships anywhere else. This is a good use case.

Well written use case works as an invaluable guidebook to gain learning experience. For a student, citizen developer, or a beginner in the RPA field, they are always looking for a guide or use cases that can help them in gaining RPA experience that can help them in a new job or improve there skills.
For RPA professional or CoE, they would probably like to know how different industries, departments are leveraging automation, how the BP platform is helping organizations scale.
Can we build a repository of use cases that can help anyone in the automation community ?
