Data Types

Blue Prism has a number of built in data types.

Text

Used to store words or phrases as well as numerical identifiers such as account numbers.

Password

Used to store passwords or any text that must be kept secret at all times. Blue Prism will take steps to ensure that data entered into password fields is not inadvertently displayed. For example, a password will never be displayed on-screen, cannot be copied into a plain text data item, and will not be directly viewable in the XML of a saved or exported process. However, there is an obvious security risk associated with storing password values within a process and as such we do not recommend it.

Number

Used to store numerical values and currencies.

TimeSpan

Used to store periods of time.

Date

Used to store a date.

DateTime

Used to store a specific moment in time at a specific time in history.

Time

Used to store the time of the day.

Flag

Used to store a true or false value.
