    Exception Handling for the Scripts

    My idea is to have something close to what we have in Blueprism today, a block. A block is a rectangular region that groups together all the stages that fall completely within it. A block can contain its own Recover Stage, which will handle except...

    Use secure string variables in certain commands

    Certain commands, like httpRequest or runWindowsScript that could require credentials for some actions, do not allow secure string variables in their declarations. A review of all commands that could benefit from secure strings is required. Try to...

    Provide Trigger Support (File/Folder/Email)

    Button to remove all variables with 0 reference

    After finishing more robust developments it would be nice to have a button which would automatically delete all variables which in the final status of development have 0 references. Now we have to scroll through the variables panel and remove one ...

    The possibility of deleting disable schedules

    Screen repository

    Create a repository in order to save the elements retrieved by recorder with the relative image preview. When I have to automate a new use case with the same application, instead of capture a new element, I can get it from the repository and use i...

    Unattended Bot Scheduler is unreliable​, and should work without failures showing clear logging to increase confidence
