Create global data items accessible from any page, perform calculations, and store results in a global result; organize them by page and reset values with a Global's page when needed.

Publish the process to the control room, confirm with the green tick, then run on a resource, view logs, and export them to Excel.

Learn how to schedule a Blue Prism process to run weekly, starting Thursday at 9:15, by configuring schedules, tasks, resources, and delays, testing, and managing retirement or deletion.

Conclude by examining the process layer and where business logic resides, preview the object model and the application model lectures, and outline an automated set of processes.

Explore the three-layer review by mapping the process layer’s business logic to the object and application model, and prepare a notepad hello world automation tied to the application manager.

Explore object studio in Blue Prism, create your first object, and learn how initialization differs from a process. Leverage read, write, navigate, code, and wait states to interact with applications.

Explore Blue Prism's application model tour, defining a new application model, mapping Notepad's UI elements with identify, and choosing appropriate spy modes to read, write, and navigate the target application.

learn how to configure Blue Prism to write text to notepad by mapping the notepad area, setting up actions and element targets, and validating with test runs.

Follow Blue Prism foundations, drag and configure a read stage to get text from notepad, store it in a text data item named note content, and run to verify output.

Create launch and terminate pages to automate the Notepad process, using stage on, element actions, and the launch and terminate actions, then run to verify lifecycle.

Set up an object to connect to a process by adding a text data item, creating input text to write, and wiring it to notepad; publish pages to enable access.

Learn to connect a notepad object to a process in blue prism, launching, writing, reading, and closing notepad while renaming objects and managing retirement.

Combine the object, process, and application model configurations using best practices to connect them into a single automated workflow.

Connect it all by using the training system to place and retrieve orders, download the application, queue it for later, tour the training order system, and start automating it.

Learn how to automate signing in staff, adding and viewing orders, and exporting an Excel document while the bot iterates through records and interacts with the app.

Learn to create a training order object in Blue Prism, define a Windows-based application model, and set up a launch and terminate workflow to test by publishing pages.

Create the sign-in screen in the application explorer, spy the window to identify staff number, password, and sign-in button with matches, then save changes.

Create and publish logon page for the order trading system using blue prism application Modeller, then write stages to enter username and password and click sign-in button to log in.

Open the application model, navigate to the options screen, identify the option input and go button, and update the application model after refining element selections to retrieve an order.

navigate the options menu to view an existing order by entering an option number, then use a write stage and navigate stage to click go, test, and publish.

Build an application model by identifying the order view screen and adding fields such as order number, product code, and units ordered, using parent window text to disambiguate.

Discover how to create a Blue Prism order view object: input an order number, retrieve the order, and read product code and units ordered into a collection.

Connect your system to a process in Blue Prism foundations a-z by creating process and object, then log in, navigate to order details, read them, and store in collection.

Learn to add a new order manually and automate via a CSP file, spying screens, setting child identifiers, ordinal index, and saving in the application model.

Set up an add order page in blue prism foundations with inputs for product code, number required, unit price, cost center, and wire to the submit action.

Create and connect a training order object by adding an order, creating a new order details stage, and linking start to end with launch, log in, navigate, and close steps.

Automate submitting an order and handle the order confirmation screen by spying the reference text, waiting for the screen to exist, and clicking continue with a timeout and exception handling.

Learn to import a CSP CSV file of orders into Blue Prism, build an order details collection, and loop through rows to load each order into the system.

Learn to add orders by looping through a collection of order details, launching the CSP app, and inputting product code, quantity, unit price, and cost center.
