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.
