When adding a Calc stage directly connected to another Calc stage, often they belong together and, in hindsight, would have been a MultiCalc instead. Changing to a MultiCalc however, requires copying the Calc properties to the MultiCalc, adding your new calculation to the MultiCalc and removing the 'old' Calc. Wouldn't it be nice if you could convert a Calc stage to a MultiCalc stage by Right-Clicking it and select where you want it to go? Obviously, when you have a MultiCalc you might want to convert it to a Calc stage or stages in the same manner.

Currently you place variables within content and the information is filled in through LOB fields or variables entered within the Presentation. The client would like to be prompted to complete certain variables (fields) once the letter is presented for view. Word Developer offers some ability but nothing forced or the ability for it interact so it takes you to the next spot for entry.

One of our clients would like to move the comments from presentation flow's automation service from User comments to System comment. This change is necessary because the automation service system comments are crucial for our users to understand the status of the work. Moving these comments to system comments makes more sense because they are triggered by the system rather than an operator.

When a schedule is started and the resource is offline it is not shown in the reports. (Not in the list.) Would be great to have a all planned executions, and a red (X) on a schema even though the reason was not the scheduler.

To whom it may concern, We’d like to set an execution day to execute RPA and we’d like to execute RPA depending on what day of business day is today on a monthly basis as well. For example, if you want to execute it on the 5th business day of every month, you need to create a new calendar and set all the days other than the 5th business day as holidays now. This requires a lot of work and is prone to errors. We’d like you to settle this issue. We hope to hear from you. Best regards, ==== ご担当者様 現在のBluePrismでは、特定の営業日で実行させる設定がなく、専用のプロセスの作成を行うなどの対処が必要となってしまいます。 なので、第●営業日として実装して頂きたく存じます。 よろしくお願いいたします。

Problem: Per the Blue Prism documentation, Auto Archiving "causes a registered, running resource to check periodically throughout the day for any session logs that ended before a specified date/time and archive/delete them if such are found". My team has found that when very large sessions logs are being archived, it taxes our database and negatively impacts the performance of our automated sessions actively trying to run. The stress on the database can be so large that it seizes our servers and even takes down the entire environment. As a workaround, we identify large session logs and manually archive them before the auto archiving process gets to them. This is tedious and not ideal. Solution Idea: Alternatively, it would be great if Blue Prism added a way to configure Auto Archiving so it only runs during specified hours instead of checking "periodically throughout the day". If this were an option, we would set our archiving to happen outside of business hours so our database would not get so stressed.

I would like to have a new action stage, to be shown in the stage choice panel on the left side in Studio. You can call it whatever you like, but I'd like the new stage to be definable by the developer. For the fun of it, we could call it a Tiny Template. The new 'Tiny Template' stage would contain a stage, or a block of stages that are regularly used by the developer. Choosing the new stage would imply that the block of stages will be dragged into the page the developer is currently working on, in the same manner as the single stages that we have today. The new customizable 'Tiny Template' stage can be defined once by the developer and will remain accessible within BP Studio until its definition is changed by the developer. The 'Tiny Template' definition will be saved so it can be used again at any later time Studio is used. Why would this be practical? Lemme give y'all an example: When I'm testing new or modified parts of a process or object, stuff tends to crash. This is ok as it indicates where efforts for error handling are required. In order not to let any of these small crashes lead me back to to the Main Page, or wherever it bubbles up to, I usually add a temporary recover-resume-note block on the page. This will catch any errors and remain on the page I'm working on. When I move my work to the next page, I move or copy the block along with me to the net page. When all is done, I remove the blocks as not to permanently disturb the process flow. In the example above, I'd define my 'Tiny Template' as a recover-resume-note block and deploy it in every page I need it. Happy coding! ---------------- Paul Sweden

Worklist card filtering/ search - Enhance functionality for worklist card by adding filtering/search option and allow for dynamic filtering/searching by multiple criteria (example - user would be able to configure and filter work list by Worktype /Account Number/ Broker /Queue)
Similar logic could then be incorporated into Get Work - were user would be able to define preference on what the next piece of work they are getting should be (still within the constrains of what user is coded for). Users often find it more productive to work on same type of work .

It would be really useful to be able to install Design Studio from the command line with parameters for setting Tenant ID and Tenant Domain, so it can be deployed remotely via say InTune. Or alternatively, allow an installation file to be downloaded that has the the Tenant ID and Tenant Domain already defined.

Isolation and portability: Docker containers provide a lightweight and isolated runtime environment for applications. Running Blue Prism in a Docker container allows you to encapsulate the application and its dependencies, making it easier to manage and deploy across different environments.
Reproducible environments: Docker containers allow you to create consistent and reproducible environments for running Blue Prism. By packaging the application and its dependencies into a Docker image, you can ensure that the exact same environment is used during development, testing, and production.
Scalability and resource utilization: Docker containers provide efficient resource utilization and scalability. You can run multiple Blue Prism containers simultaneously, allowing for parallel execution of processes and optimizing resource allocation. Containers can be easily scaled up or down based on the workload, ensuring optimal utilization of computing resources.
Version control and rollbacks: Docker enables version control of container images. Each image can be tagged and versioned, making it easier to manage different versions of Blue Prism. This facilitates easy rollbacks to previous versions in case of issues or the need to revert to a stable state.
Simplified deployment and updates: Docker simplifies the deployment process for Blue Prism. With a Docker image, you can easily distribute the application to different environments, minimizing the manual setup and configuration steps.
Resource optimization: Docker allows for efficient resource allocation by running multiple containers on a single host machine. This reduces hardware costs and optimizes resource utilization.
Collaboration and development efficiency: Docker containers provide a consistent and reproducible environment, making it easier for teams to collaborate on developing Blue Prism processes. Developers can share containerized development environments, ensuring that everyone is working in the same setup. This streamlines the development and testing process, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.We are looking seek guidance from their support or community forums for best practices and specific instructions on running Blue Prism in Docker containers.

Sometimes we need to measure the performance of a process over a period of time, and there are many elements that can be measured in this like process execution time at different times, the total number of errors(both application and business), bot machine configuration, bot success vs failure percentage, and any SLA breaches between a time range. This information can be converted into a well-formatted dashboard(we can use excel to create the dashboard) and passed to the concerned person to take action(if any)
This automation would need one input argument ‘process name’. For that process name, the information can be retrieved from the backend via control room APIs. Once the data is retrieved, it can be passed to the pre-formatted excel file(you need to create an excel file template beforehand, where you just need to overwrite your output) to generate the output. After that, the file can be saved to drive or can be sent to the concerned person via email.
This automation is generic in nature and can be used in any business process.

With resource pools, it is not possible to execute all tasks of a scheduler on the same resource. Example: We have 3 resources in a resource pool (VM1, VM2, VM3). When I create a scheduler, I always have 3 tasks (I am sure this is the case for many customers):
- Windows login - process - Windows logout
If I now run a scheduler on the resource pool, the following happens: The login process logs into VM1. The actual process is trying to run on VM2. The logout process tries to log out on VM3.
We want all tasks from a scheduler to run on the same resource in the resource pool. This is important because of security reasons. We have set it up in such a way that each process has its own Windows user, which has limited access rights to directories etc.

We would like the ability dynamically call a process by providing the process name as an input variable. We have a process that flows to several different subprocesses depending on the value of a variable. We are using a switch to examine the variable and then navigate to the subprocess. Ideally we would like to be able to do this by just using the value of variable which would be the same as the subprocess name.

Currently there's an option where field name and index as well is an input using utility - collection manipulation. The above is useful when the collection is used in a loop.
