Getting started with the Decision plugin

Your system administrator will create an account for you to use to access Blue Prism® Hub and grant you permissions to use the Blue Prism Decision plugin.

Log into Hub

  1. Launch a browser and go to the Authentication Server website. Your system administrator will provide you with the website address. Our example shows https://authentication.local

    The Log in using Active Directory option only displays if Active Directory authentication has been configured in your environment.

  2. Use one of the following options to log in:

    • Enter your credentials and click Log in.
    • Click Log in using Active Directory. This uses single sign-on so you do not need to enter any credentials.

    The application selection screen displays. If you only have access to Hub, you will only see the Hub tile. If you also have access to the Interact web-based application, you will see a tile for Hub and a tile for Interact, as shown below:

  3. Click Hub to launch the Hub website.

Open the Decision plugin

  1. Click Decision on the sidebar menu to open the Decision plugin.

  2. Click Decision.

    The Decision plugin displays the Library page.

    The example above shows a single model that is in the process of being created and will be used as our example throughout the Decision help.

Library overview

The Library page displays all the models that have been created in Decision by you and the other Decision users in your system. From here, you can create new models and maintain any of the existing models.

The Library page provides you with the following information and functions:

  1. Side menu – Indicates which page in the Decision plugin you are viewing. This example shows Library selected.
  2. Filter – Click to filter the information that is displayed. You can turn on the required filters and enter or select the appropriate information for display. For example, you could turn on the Date modified filter and enter a date range to view recently updated models.
