We have enhanced the overall readability of the Bot structure and updated the node labels of the Bot to show selected properties and parameters of each Aktion in detail in the Flow, List, and Dual views. You no longer have to expand each Aktion to view these details.

Neue Funktionen
Select File element input supported for Create a Request action

The Create a Request action in the Process Composer package now supports passing input in the request creation forms for the Select File element. You can now use Bots to create a request and upload or download files as input with the Select File element. These input files are uploaded to the storage service to be available for further processing in the request.

Output variables support in Process Editor

The Output variables section in the process editor enables you to create a user-defined variable that can be set as an output to any process. This helps you pass the output from the child (sub) process, which was called in the Process Task, to the parent (main) process.

Detail view in Tasks page

The new Detail view option in the Tasks page provides better insight into individual tasks for better task management. The detail view previews each task in its respective request view page without opening another page, which helps organize and correspond your tasks with the available requests. Users can interact with their tasks as well.

Neue Funktionen
View Groups of steps

When reviewing a process view, you can now use the group option or icon to display groups of steps that belong to the primary level action and secondary level action (and subgroup level actions) used during the recording session.

Use the group icon to help you decide what groups of steps to select for a task you want to automate. For example, a primary level action displays Microsoft Outlook, a secondary level action displays Outlook mail notification, and subgroup level actions display terms such as Email -Add To, Email – Add Subject.

You can now use the Dynamic option from the Model options to view recordings where groups of steps display a set of repeating patterns that belong to the same application or same primary level action used during the recording session.

Use this option to decide the context of the process or the task you want to automate. Groups of steps that are labeled belong to supported applications such as Microsoft (Excel, Outlook, and Notepad), Notepad++, text editors, most windows use cases, and Chrome browser functionality.
