Hi Team, My idea is for adding the anchor element functionality for elements which are currently being spied using other spying modes rather than region mode. While spying many web sites, some times the attributes that we get can't be unique enough to get a particular match. In situation like this, if there were a way to get the nearest element to it being spied and use that element as a reference to identify the element would help the identification of any target element. Currently, this feature is implemented at Region mode level but as of now we can only use an anchor image with an element being spied as an image only.

I think a Blue Prism license for academic/training purposes is a necessary evolution in Blue Prism's future. Currently, partners get an internal use license (5 sessions) that can be used by any of the partner's employees and that license is not intended for production use even though I am not aware of any actual limitation by the license file other than concurrent sessions. I'm suggesting a similar license but one with feature limitations instead of concurrent session limitations. For example, the license itself could contain instructions for which parts of Blue Prism should be available once the license is installed in a BP environment. Scheduler could be disabled or there could be a limit to how many users can be added to the BP environment. I assume this might take an update to Blue Prism itself along with an update to the licenses, but I think it's worth it. I have more to share as always, but I'm trying to limit the words here. 😃

Need to enable a option to merge the process code. Problem Statement: Multiple resource working on different module of same process. At end of the day need to merge the all code into core version. Currently, there is no option to merge code created by resources. Solution : Merge the process code and identify the difference between version and show if it is any conflict between the same module. Then developer has to sit and resolve the conflict the merge the code as single process

Beyond comparing versions a process or objects in one environment, it would be great to do comparisons between different environments. Not only just to see what may need to be migrated, but also to see what changed (in the app modeler as well). Appian announced this functionality this year in their platform.

Hi, It would be nice to be able to detect and modify the status of a work queue (running/paused) from within a vbo. Also a filter on any kind of "get items" from that queue would come handy, because now you get all the items, even if the queue is in pause. Kind regards, Wim VdV

I want you to create a VBO that deletes the duplicate data in the collection and stores it in a new collection. ========================= ご担当者様 collection内にある重複するデータを削除して、新しいcollectionに格納するVBOを作成してほしいです。
現状だと重複を削除するプロセスページを作成する必要となり、時間がかかります。比較的多用する機能であるため、標準のVBOに取り入れて頂きたいです。 以上、よろしくお願い致します。

I recognize that the scheduling of "Login Agent" should be "Task (1): Login → Task (2): Business Process → Task (3) Logout". As a best practice, is it correct to "when the login process moves, if the robot is logged in with the appropriate user, execute the task (2) (Business Process) as it is, and terminate the schedule if the login is by an inappropriate user"? I think, "When the login process moves, if the robot is logged in with the wrong user, it would be nice if I could log out and log back in instead of failing the schedule itself." I would like you to consider using this as a best practice. ===== ご担当者様 Login Agentのスケジュールの設定についてですが、タスク①ログイン、タスク②業務プロセス、タスク③ログアウトとすべきかと認識しております。 ベストプラクティスとしては、『ログインプロセスが動いた際に適切なユーザーでログインしている状態であれば、そのままタスク②へ続き業務プロセスを実行する。不適切なユーザーの場合はスケジュールを終了する』というのが正しいのでしょうか。 と申しますのも、希望としては、不適切なユーザーでログインされている場合にスケジュール自体を失敗にするのではなく、ログアウトを行ってログインし直せたら良いなと思うのです。難しいでしょうか。

Expressions are currently written in some kind of Visual Basic dialect, which is great for non-technical users or beginners from the 90s. It should be possible to write Expressions e.g. in C# becaue this would allow the creation of more advanced expression. Of course at some point a Code Stage producing a Boolean ("Flag") value could be used, but it has no access to an API or other interal functions so e.g. Exception details cannot be evaluated.

The reset FQDN feature currently only affects runtime resources but not workplaces. When resetting FQDN for a specific <host> the value in FQDN column in BPAResource table is deleted but the line for <host>_debug stays untouched, thus preventing any debug sessions on this workplace. Please enhance the Reset FQDN feature to remove FQDN values for both: <host> and <host>_debug records.

Presently we are capable of accessing the screen capture related to the latest exception stage via the control room per RPA Bot.
In a practical environment where the Bot's are executing queue based items, the exception stage is handled. Therefore the bot moves on to the next queue item available.
When all the items in the queue completes a report is generated to the admin stating the status of each item. Therefore if more than one queue item raise exception stages, then at the time of inspection by the system admin, only the latest exception stage screen capture per Bot is preserved. The admin will not be able to have a graphical state of the the system or the environment for the exception stages raised by previous queue items executed by the same bot! The snapshot of the environment will definitely lead towards quickly identifying the issue a bot is facing in most occasions. Therefore it will be greatly beneficial to have a way of preserving the exception stage related screen capture per item key (historical screen captures)

Currently, you can add a decision to deviate the process into different branches. We need a way to reconnect the second branch back to the original branch.
Think about a process what includes validation of OCR. After validation is performed, execution continues to the main flow. I understand that is not currently possible in capture. Please check uploaded screenshot for an example.

It would be really helpfull to have a filter on the tree parts of the session management, another in the queue management and another in the scheduler reports and Schedules. We got a lot of queues, bots and scheduler and it's really a time consumming task to navigate in the control room. A global filter will also be usefull

Dark mode on a user interfaces (UI) on Process studio and object studio for process flow display light on a dark background. Dark mode will be especially helpful for those who develop process flows and debugging the code on device screens at night. The reduced brightness can reduce eye strain in low light conditions.
Dark mode can also be used as a courtesy in situations when a screen's bright light might annoy others.Interest in dark mode has increased along with public awareness in how ambient light affects circadian rhythm and sleep/wake cycles. Many popular websites and online services currently offer dark mode, including YouTube, Facebook Messenger, Windows 10, Visual Studio and other tools as well.

When Blue Prism generates a message window (for example an error connecting to the server), the window does not automatically receive focus and sits behind the main BP window. Any attempt to interact with any other Blue Prism window is blocked and a warning sound is played, but the message window is still not brought into focus. The only way to bring it into focus is to minimise all other application windows that are open one by one until the message is displayed, and then close it. No second window is displayed in the Windows taskbar to allow you to go directly to the error message and, even worse, clicking on Blue Prism on the Windows taskbar will take you to the Blue Prism client main window, with the error message hidden behind it, even if you had previously brought that message to the foreground. Playing 'Hunt the Error Message' is infuriating and has come up multiple times with clients during training as an annoyance. I thought I had read that this had been fixed as an issue in a previous update releasenote, but we are on 6.9 and this issue still persists. Please automatically bring the error message into focus when it is generated and then again whenever another BP window is clicked and the 'error' sound is played. Making the error message appear as a separate window that is selectable from the windows taskbar would also really help.

A Quality of Life suggestion. Take, for example, the humble 'Item Data' collection, after getting an item from the queue. There could be any number of fields in this collection that will be referred to constantly throughout the rest of the process. Each time you need to refer to one of them, you have to type [Item Data.Field Name], being very careful with your typing. It would be much simpler to instead co-opt the fields that are returned from the queue and have them going forward as pre-defined fields that you can click on via the expression editor.

Embed within BP functionality for end business users to trigger bots, load queue items, make decisions all during the bot execution. As of now everything is scheduled and has very little human interaction. Ability for end user to trigger bots, send queue items to bot, and review exception items should be embedded in the tool. Many of the other RPA tools are building out or have released this feature. NO automation tool is complete without enabling smooth human to bot interaction.

Hi All, With MV3 introduced in chromium and discontinuation of Internet Explorer, moving automation to Chrome or Edge was a solution. What I see is, you do not have Global Mouse Click (Center) option - even though we have Global Mouse Hover. I am not a fan of UI Spying for time delays and I love how quick is XPATH, but currently I have to - Activate Window Focus Element Send Global Key Events - {ENTER} A Global Mouse Click (Center) is what is needed to Click and Element and also fire events. If an alternative/work around is available, please comment here and share with larger group.
