Description of change |
Reference |
---|---|
Application Modeller spying has been implemented to speed up the process of populating the Application Modeller in Blue Prism by automatically spying supported applications. Users can create new business objects in the Step actions panel by entering a business object name and action name into the new fields and selecting theCreate object check box. The Application Modeller spying is enabled by default, but the business object creation functionality must be enabled in the user settings. For more information about creating business objects, see The Application Modeller log files (appobserver.log) are stored together with the Capture log files in: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Blue Prism\Capture for easy access. |
CAP-684 |
Application Modeller spying uses User Interface Automation (UIA) and Win32 spying to automatically spy applications and put the spying data into the BPRELEASE file. This data is then used to populate the Application Modeller when the BPRELEASE file is imported into Blue Prism. |
CAP-1171 CAP-1172 |
General improvements have been made to Capture including:
|
CAP-901 |
The Process Definition Document (PDD) generated by Capture is now customizable in the new Templates tab in the User settings. The user can:

CAP-893 CAP-1480 |
The new DX search feature helps the user to find and download the most appropriate assets (such as VBOs) for the current process. When the user clicks DX search the Blue Prism Digital Exchange opens in a browser in a new Capture window. The search field is automatically populated with the names of the applications in the process and the most relevant and popular assets display in the results pane. The user interface has been updated to allow for the new DX search feature:
|
CAP-1105 |
The user now has the ability to undo and redo unsaved changes as many times as the number indicated above the Undo and Redo buttons. Once the user clicks Save they can no longer undo or redo any changes. |
CAP-1027 |
An Auto-generate business objects fields check box has been added to the Business objects tab in the User settings to allow the user to enable or disable the automatic population of the business object fields as part of the capture process. In addition to this, an option to clear all object and action names allows the user to remove all entries in the object and action name fields for every step action in the process. A separate option allows the user to deselect allCreate object check boxes at once. These two options can be undone on the main page. |
CAP-705 |
A new export option has been added to the Export panel in Capture. The ALM Process Definition (.json) check box can be selected to export a .JSON file for import into ALM. For more information about importing the .JSON file into ALM, see . |
CAP-1781 |
Fixes and minor improvements
The following fixes and minor improvements have been made to Capture in this release:
Description of change |
Reference |
---|---|
After exporting a captured process as a process definition document and opening the created file, the Process Exceptions section is now correctly displayed (instead of an empty page) on the new page after the Process Steps section. | CAP-882 (CAP-901) |
It is now possible to export to Visio format when Visio is installed. Previously a check was made to look for the Visio registry key which failed due to Visio being stored in a different location. This prevented Capture from exporting to Visio. |
CAP-1411 (CAP-1040) |
When a new Capture recording is started, a pop-up dialog displays the following message: "Blue Prism Application Modeller data will only be captured if your monitor(s) are set to 100% scaling.". |
CAP-1910 |
You can now change the default name of a branch and all branches in the process will display the correct names without issue. Previously, if you renamed and saved a branch that originally had the default name, the newly saved name would display in the Edit branch window of any other branches that should have been displaying the default name. |
CAP-1262 |
Click and Input (typing) actions are now captured correctly and are included in the Step action panel. Previously, there was an issue where Click actions were not recorded and separate Input actions were being combined and displayed in the Step action panel as a single action. |
CAP-925 |
