Creating a new Process

Creating a new process in Blue Prism

• From the main Blue Prism window, select ‘Process Studio’ from the left hand menu.
• Select ‘Create a Process’ from the main window. A wizard will guide you through the creation procedure and Process Studio will then open.
• Press Next
• Call the new Process First Process
• Enter a brief description of the Process
• Use the toolbars and practice placing stages, linking, selecting, deselecting, moving, copying, zooming, panning etc.
• Double click on various stages to see their properties.
•  Press Save but keep the diagram open

Space in Process Studio is effectively infinite, and pan and zoom tools can be used to manoeuvre around the diagram. The grid lines and ‘snap’ settings are on by default but these can be switch off (via the View menu) if necessary.

Process Studio

• A Blue Prism Process is created as a diagram that looks much like a common business flow diagram.
• Processes are created in an area of Blue Prism called Process Studio which, as we will see, looks similar to other process modelling applications (such MS Visio) and uses standard flow diagram symbols and notation.
• The key difference with a Blue Prism diagram is that it is not an inert two dimensional representation of a Process. Rather, it is the graphical representation of a working computer program, one that will interact with applications, manipulate data and perform decisions and Calculations.

Running a Process
A Blue Prism Process is not a picture but a program in graphical form. We can run it in Process Studio and watch it working. One of the Process Studio toolbars provides commands to run the Process, similar to the buttons found on a DVD player.
Opening and running a Process

• Log in to Blue Prism
• Select the menu File>Open in the main window
• Follow the wizard to open the Process called Example Process
• Once you are in Process Studio, find the Go button and press it to run the Process
• See how the flow of the diagram is highlighted in orange.
•  Press Reset and then press Go again
• Close Process Studio

Introduction BluePrism

• Robotic Automation refers to process automations where computer software drives existing enterprise application software in the same way that a user does. This means that unlike traditional application software, Robotic Automation is a tool or platform that operates and orchestrates other application software through the existing application's user interface and in this sense is not "integrated".
• Blue Prism's Robotic Automation software enables business operations to be agile and cost effective through rapid automation of manual, rules based, back office administrative processes, reducing cost and improving accuracy by creating a "virtual workforce".
• The virtual workforce is built by the operational teams or accredited Blue Prism partners using our robotic automation technology to rapidly build and deploy automations through leveraging the presentation layer of existing enterprise applications. The automations are configured and managed within an IT governed framework and operating model which has been iteratively developed through numerous large scale and complex deployments.
