Call Tree

The enhanced Call Tree feature now allows users to view the Call Tree in a modal window and export it in a xlsx format. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to access and download the Call Tree using three different entry points. Additionally, it explains the components included in the Call Tree and their significance.

Components of a Call Tree:

The call tree presents a hierarchical view of a bot starting with the Main or Root process and showing all the components that are called directly and indirectly. There are different types of components as indicated by the legend:

  1. Process: A normal Blueprint process.
  2. Reusable Component: A Blueprint process that is reused by other Blueprint processes (i.e. called multiple times) and does not call any other Blueprint processes.
  3. Missing Component: Calls to components that have not been imported to Blueprint and are therefore unavailable/unknown.

Excel Report:

The exported excel sheet includes following details:

  1. Blueprint Process ID appears to the left of each process name.
  2. The levels of indentation represent the call tree hierarchy.
  3. Legend for Missing Components, and Reusable Components is included in column H. Cells representing missing components are colored in red while those representing reusable components are colored in blue.
  4. For missing components, the Process ID appears in square-brackets and is the ID of the process that is calling the missing component.

Note:
For Blue Prism files, processes and reusable components are identified Processes and Objects.
