This release includes several major improvements to user experience and several under the hood changes to improve the performance of Robility Manager.

New Features and Improvements

Command Center

Robility dashboards have become dynamic and interactive, you can go beyond the surface and dive into the underlying data. With one-click of a button you can navigate to different layers of the platform to work.

The landing page dashboard has been made responsive with flexible grids and layouts, so viewing from smaller or larger screens will not break the user interface elements.

The transaction status tile has undergone 3 major changes

1. Environment filter - This enables users to see the corresponding transaction count in respective environments.
2. System and Business exception queue - We have now improved RobilityInteract to provide granular view of exceptions by reporting the type of exception a transaction has been tagged to.
3. More info link - Popup with corresponding count of transactions by project and you can drill down to the queue wise split-up. You can directly access the corresponding queue by clicking on the queue name. This is a major improvement to user experience as they can completely negate the use of switch environment.

License utilization bar chart showing the utilized licenses vs available in now part of the landing page dashboard. This provides platform administrators with a bird's eye view to plan resources ahead of depletion.

Machine utilization chart is also included to the landing page dashboard which was previously accessed via separate page.

The interact worklist view screen layout of fields and labels have been re-arranged to be more responsive. There is now less of scrolling and more of user action as we have made maximum utilization of screen real estate.

The notification and alert popups are now more vibrant with new color scheme which prompts user attention.

Product Download

We have made the product download process easy and consistent so that users will be well informed of the latest upgrades. Go to the Product Download page to see what is new on Robility Designer, Runner and Assisted Robot.

The whole Robility product installation experience for the user has been revamped to include both download and license key to connect to the platform in one place.

Data Visualization

Go from data to dashboard in seconds. Build your own visualization and add it as widgets. Robility widgets are live, interactive and dynamic, so you can go beyond the surface and dive into the underlying data.

Users can now create widgets for index queue. The widget configuration has a view to build custom widgets to report the count of transactions in respective queue and environment. Click here to read more.

Information extraction - Regex

Robility Interact comes with custom regex script builder to extract and locate hidden information in your data. If you are not a programmer, you can use the predefined regular expressions to extraction information as well.

In SmartInteract queue configuration, a new regex (Regular Expression) option has been introduced.

You can choose from a default script or use your own custom regex scripts.

Here are some of the built-in Regex scrips to extract,

• Phone number
• Zip code
• Email address
• Date
• Currency
• Word match

There is a Try Sample option to test the regex script before deploying in real time to verify the accuracy of the script. Click here to read more on how to use Regex.

User Management

The user management menu offers yet another improvement. In Add user page, Last Logged-In Time field has been incorporated to improve traceability.

Add Robot

Previously, in Asset Management, under the Project Management sub- menu, when adding the robot, the type of robot was not displayed in the grid.

A new Robot type field has been added, so the users can easily check if the added robot is a main or sub robot, by clicking on the edit option.

Copy workflow previously allowed copying only the latest version of the workflow, now the form has been revised to include an option for the user to choose a version of the workflow to copy.

Credentials Manager

Credentials grid is further enhanced with Updated-by and Updated-on fields to know who performed the latest update.

SmartInteract Project listing

The grid headers now contain Updated by and Updated on fields, so project administrators can keep track of changes made to the project. The grid headers will also remain constant to all the filter selections that are applied to the project listing grid.

SmartInteract menu entries

Indexed report in step 3 (View and Reports) is renamed as Transaction Report. Indexed report has been removed from the report View. Likewise, transaction status menu has also been removed from page view and placed as Transaction Report sub-menu under Report sub-menu in SmartInteract. We would like to notify that henceforth; all Indexed Reports’ headers will now reflect in the transaction report. Essentially, now the Transaction Report will serve as a replica of the Indexed Report.

Feature Manager Sync

New Sync option is included to the Feature Manager, which will automatically sync the approved activities from the centralized feature repository.

Role Configuration

The role configuration has undergone a massive revamp were the grid has permission for various pages. This give the Robility administrator to provide granular access to pages if a user requires view only, edit, delete access to certain pages.

The page also supports default lading page that can be mapped to user roles. So, users mapped to those roles will be automatically routed to the landing page set here.

Under the Hood updates

• The time taken to load the user listing grid in User Management has been significantly reduced. Irrespective of the count of users on the platform, the grid loads instantly
• In SmartInteract, when a bunch of transactions were required to be processed, and multiple users were working on the same queue, more than one user were able to pick the same URN. Before a validation was put in place, it wasn’t throwing an error and allowed both users to work on the same URN, but only one user’s work was being saved. Now, validation is in place, thus, if two users choose to work on the same URN, it will display an error message and disallow multiple users accessing the same URN. Only one user can work on a given URN, at any given point, and it will be locked to others trying to access the same URN
• In SmartInteract project setup page, the edit button has been removed for an improved user experience
• Session time out errors caused by un-responsive database has been addressed by tweaking the transactions query logic and the way SLAs were being calculated in real time.

Defects Addressed

• Unique key generator - In SmartManager, the Unique key field was accepting invalid input, such as, html tags and was encountering errors. This issue is resolved, and the field does not accept special characters, alphabets, etc., but allows only numbers
• User Registration - When a domain user logs in and registers, if he is already registered, an appropriate validation message is displayed. However, when the user submitted an invalid username, it was automatically populating the previous user’s details in the form. This defect has been resolved, so users can enjoy a seamless user registration experience
• Interact form configuration - when fields are configured with mandatory checkboxes, and if were left unchecked in indexing queue, an incorrect error message was displayed. It contained the name of the checkbox and was repeated as many times as the number of checkboxes. For instance, if a user had configured a field named Marital status, with three check boxes provided to select as single, married and divorced. And if the user fails to check any one option despite configuring this as mandatory field, then the error message warns, missed out fields such as Marital Status, Marital Status, Marital Status are missing. This is now fixed.
• Interact form template - the user was unable to download the configured fields using the download template provided in the SmartInteract project setup page. This issue was occurring because the first row, i.e. display name was missing in the template. Issue is addressed and now users can download the configured fields for one project and upload it for further processing.
• Field length validation: Some of the maximum and minimum field length validations have been corrected.
• Interact environment switch: When users work with multiple tabs and switch projects, the system was allowing users to submit failed transactions without any warning, so now users will be notified if they try submitting transactions to non-active project.
• Schedule robot - In robot monitoring, schedule robot had a defect, because of which users were unable to schedule robots in real time. Now we have addressed this issue and it works as intended.
