Interact 4.6 – June 2022

Audit

Enhancements have been made to the auditing of forms and submissions.

For a list of audit event updates, see Hub 4.6 – June 2022.

Interact plugin – Forms

An enhancement has been made to the Interact plugin to enable a user to assign an Interact form to a role, without having Hub administration permissions. A user can assign the form to a role either on the Edit basic information page, or on the Create form page.

For more information, see Deploying forms.

A new Interact roles filter enables users to search for forms by role names.

For more information, see Search for a form .

The Submitter drop-down now displays all Hub users. Previously, the drop-down only contained users with access to the Interact form.

When the approval type is set on a form, a new Exclude submitter option displays. This is selected by default, and prevents a form submitter from being able to approve their own submissions.

For more information, see Creating Interact forms.

The Horizontal Rule field and the Paragraph field now have an Automation ID. This enables the fields to be manipulated by an automated process, if required.

When a form is deleted, a notification is now displayed in Blue Prism Hub to all members of the business process that the form was associated with.

Interact web application

The following enhancements have been made to streamline the user journey when submitting a form:

• When a user clicks a tile on the Interact Home page, they are taken straight to the form so they can start entering information. Previously, a summary panel displayed on the Home page and the user needed to click again to go to the form. The summary information is now displayed in the left panel on the form itself.

• A Submit another option has been added next to the Submit button on the form. If the user selects this when submitting a form, a new form displays enabling the user to enter another set of information without having to return to the Home page.

  This option is also available on forms that are cloned from the Submission history or Awaiting approval sections.

• On the Home page, the Recently completed option has been added to the Order by drop-down list.
• User paths in the user interface have been updated to reduce the number of clicks a user experiences, or return them to logical areas of the user interface.

Forms can now be submitted to a role. The form is sent to all users who are assigned to that role, and displays on the My Work tab. Any user who in that role can work on the form as if it had been submitted to them directly, however, once one of the users in the role has started to work on it, it is locked for all others. The user who is working on the form is shown in the new Locked by column in the Inbox.

New notifications have been added into Interact to support the ability to send a submission to a role. These are:

• Digital Worker has assigned submission to your group – Notifies the users in the role that they have received a new submission.
• User has completed submission raised by Digital Worker – Notifies the users in the role that one of the other users in that role has completed any actions required on the submission. This submission will no longer be waiting action by the other users in the role.
• User has deleted submission raised by Digital Worker – Notifies the users in the role that one of the other users has deleted the submission. This submission will no longer be able to available to other users in the role.

For more information, see Interact notifications.

Installer and upgrader

When the Interact installer or upgrader is run in Chinese, all of the screen titles now display correctly. Previously, some of the screen titles were truncated.

Interact plugin – Forms

The Create another toggle now displays correctly on the Create page when adding a new Text or Text area field to an Interact Form in Hub. This resolves the known issue present in Interact 4.5.

When a user is adding or editing a Date field in a form, it now completely resets if the user clicks Reset all. Previously, the setting for the Date field were reset apart from Initial value which still retained a value. This now resets.

When a rule is created that uses an Text area field, the Value now displays as a multi-line field. Previously, this was displayed as a single line field.

The Submitter field in a rule now populates correctly when it is selected multiple times. Previously, if a user selected a submitter, then changed it to another submitter, the field recorded an empty value.

If a user searches the fields and clicks on a result, the matching field is now highlighted. Previously, the form scrolled to the field, but it did not highlight it.

If an Interact Form name contains the pipe character ‘|’, when a Hub administrator attempts to create a new Interact role on the Roles and permissions page in Hub, the Interact role is now created successfully. This resolves the known issue present in Interact 4.5.

If a form with an Interact role is assigned to two users, and a rule applicable to all fields or all pages is created for both users (by selecting them as submitters in the Submitter field on the Create rule screen), the fields or pages now display correctly when the form is opened. Previously, the pages displayed incorrectly and had missing fields and disabled buttons if opened in Interact by the first user (submitter).

Previously, when a user moved a field with a rule from one page to another page resulting in a page without any fields, a TypeError was returned to the console and the Interact Forms page appeared blank in the browser. This issue no longer occurs and the field is moved without error.

Notifications now display when forms are deleted.

An SLA of 000.00:00:00 can no longer be entered on an Interact form under the Queue section. If an SLA is required, it must be greater than 1 second.

Interact web application

The Interact web application now correctly applies the colors defined in a custom theme. Previously, if a theme was created in Blue Prism Hub for use by Interact, some of the buttons in Interact stayed the default blue color. These buttons now display in the color set in the theme.

Actions

The following actions have been added to the Interact Remote API, with associated actions in the Web API Service and the Utility - Interact API Blue Prism VBO, available in the Blue Prism interactive client (by importing the latest release file):

In addition, the Edit Submission Field Value in the Interact Web API has been updated to include the Paragraph and Horizontal Rule fields.

The following actions have been added to the Utility - Interact API Blue Prism VBO:

• Edit Horizontal Rule Padding

• Edit Paragraph Field Value

• Get Submission By Transaction ID

• Get Transaction ID

• Get Roles by Form Name

• Get Role ID by Role Name

• Raise Submission to Role

In the Create Submission action, the password parameter is now optional when using Interact Remote API v2.
