Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users v.35 release

Review what's new and changed, and the fixes and limitations in Automation Co-Pilot for the v.35 release.

What's new

When you create a form in Process Composer, you now have the ability to hide and show any of the following elements by clicking the Make field hidden check box that was added to the Advanced behavior section on the Properties - Form page:
  • Button
  • Checkbox
  • Date
  • Dropdown
  • Dropdown Multi-select
  • Hyperlink
  • Number
  • Password
  • Radio button
  • Rich Text Editor
  • Text area
  • Text box
  • Time

New Make field hidden

By default, all elements are not hidden. If you select this check box in Process Composer, it will make the field hidden when the form is rendered in the process. To dynamically hide and show the fields, the following Conditions and Actions have been added to the rules for the aforementioned elements:
  • The following Conditions have been added:
    • Is hidden
    • Is visible
  • The following Actions have been added:
    • Set hidden
    • Set visible
In Process Composer, the accurate preview of the desktop form displays with the form title.

When in Run-time in Automation Co-Pilot, if you open a form in a new window by clicking the Open in new window button, the form title displays.

The Enable close on end machine and Enable minimize on end machine fields have been removed. By default, the minimize and close icons have been enabled on your machine.

What's changed

The ability to set the height settings for the Process Composer form in Automation Co-Pilot has been changed to improve the user experience.
  • From the Properties - Form page, the current default value for the Width Dimension field has been increased from 450 px to 600 px, and the Height Dimension field has been removed.
  • From the Form Preview page, a new Co-Pilot properties section has been added which includes the ability to change the Height, Position, and Display resolution of the Co-Pilot desktop application window. The Width is set to 600 px by default and cannot be changed; whereas the Height is set to 600 px by default but can be changed.
  • From the Form Preview page, you can now select an option from a drop-down for how you want to position the window: Top left (default position), Bottom left, Center, Top right, or Bottom left. If you open and save any forms that were created in Process Composer before the v.35 release, then their position will display using the Top left position.

New form preview

After introducing the latest Authentication API v2 (while deprecating the previous Authentication API v1), the existing Salesforce connector package integration becomes incompatible. To continue to successfully deploy production tasks, you must download and install the latest Salesforce AppExchange package from here: Automation Anywhere RPS Bots for Salesforce.

Fixes

After clicking to submit a form in Automation Co-Pilot, the page no longer displays a white (blank) web page because a rule action could not execute when it used a blank value for a hidden variable. The rule action is now able to execute properly without displaying a blank web page.

After deleting data from an input field in Process Composer, the value that was deleted no longer re-appears in the field.
When you create a form that contains Checkbox and Textbox elements, and a rule to set a value, the rule now properly triggers the next Human task step to occur.
When you execute a long-running automation, the progress window at the top of the automation list no longer behaves inconsistently and closes properly after the automation completes.

When the following form rule was set in Process Composer:

If TextBox0 contains a Value that is specified in a hiddenVariable, then show an error to TextBox0

The rule always generated an error even when TextBox0 did not contain a value that was specified in a hiddenVariable. This has been fixed and an error is no longer generated unless TextBox0 matches the hiddenVariable value.

If you have a form that includes a table and a copied table element, when that data is fed from the initial step into the next form step in the process, if you attempt to delete the copied table element, the process now runs successfully after you click Submit.
When setting rules and their conditions for a form, and you select Form Element or Expression for a Table element, the rules are now triggered properly for any set of conditions.

The automation priority is now properly getting set as the Bot priority in an Automation Co-Pilot Bot task process.

  • For a private space: To run the bot with high priority, besides setting the priority at bot level, the creator user should also have the custom role permission of set automation priority high permission assigned.
  • For a public space: To run the bot with high priority, besides setting the priority at bot level, the scheduler user should also have the custom role permission of set automation priority high permission assigned.

If you fail to provide the role permission, then the bot will run with medium priority even if you select high priority at bot development time.
