Mains Report

Updated by Stefenie Stockbridge

The Mains Report provides users with an overview of aggregate statistics for an all automations within the selected scope.

An automation consists of a Main process and all called Sub-Processes. Each automation is identified by its Main process in the report.

Mains are also the unit of measurement used by Blueprint to calculate license consumption. For more information, see Licensing in Blueprint and License and Activity Reporting.

Accessing the Mains Report

  1. Choose RPA Dashboards and Reports dropdown in the main header.
  2. Click Statistics.
  3. Select Per Call Tree View from the Views dropdown.

  5. Select Mains Report from the center dropdown.

Glossary

Below are the columns headers and what they represent:

Column Name

Description

Call Tree

The name of the Main process.

Hierarchy

The hierarchy the Main process originates from

Total Actions

This is the combined number of Commands, Decision Branches, Includes, and Variables the Call Tree has.

Commands

This is the number of steps (not including decision branches or includes) the Digital Blueprint has.

Variables

This is the number of unique variables the Digital Blueprint has.

Decision Branches

This is the number of decisions within the Digital Blueprint. This includes if's, if/else, and else branches.

Includes

This is a count of the number of Includes the Digital Blueprint has.  Typical use of an include is to “call” another process.

Complexity

This is the Cyclomatic Complexity of the process that make up that 'bot' or main.  Refer to Cyclomatic complexity - Wikipedia.

Applications

This is a count of the number of applications the process is interacting with.

Call Tree

Call Tree Icon generates the call tree from the Main bot.


Exporting the Mains Report

This report can be exported to an excel file for further analysis if there is at least one (1) result. To download the report:

  1. Click on Actions dropdown
  2. Select Export Current View to Excel or Export Mains with Dependencies to Excel
    1. Export Current View to Excel exports the table exactly as is to an excel document. The exported Excel document provides users with detailed statistics on each main bot contained in the Call Tree. Bots are categorized by Main ID, allowing for easy identification of their associated Main processes. This sheet will include:

    Column Name

    Description

    Process ID

    Blueprint ID Number

    Hierarchy

    The hierarchy the Main process originates from

    Call Tree

    Name of the Main processes

    Commands

    This is the number of steps (not including decision branches or includes) the Digital Blueprint has.

    Variables

    This is the number of unique variables the Digital Blueprint has.

    Decision Branches

    This is the number of decisions within the Digital Blueprint. This includes if's, if/else, and else branches.

    Includes

    This is a count of the number of Includes the Digital Blueprint has.  Typical use of an include is to “call” another process.

    Complexity

    This is the Cyclomatic Complexity of the process that make up that 'bot' or main.  Refer to Cyclomatic complexity - Wikipedia.

    Applications

    This is a count of the number of applications the process is interacting with.

    Total Actions

    This is the combined number of Commands, Decision Branches, Includes, and Variables the Digital Blueprint has.

    1. Export Mains with Dependencies to Excel exports the Main bots along with their dependencies. It provides users with more detailed statistics on each individual bot and their dependencies included in each Main Call Tree. The bots are grouped by Main ID, allowing users to easily identify which bots belong to which Main process. This level of granularity enables users to gain a better understanding of the contents of individual bots within their automation estate. This sheet will include:

    Column Name

    Description

    Process ID

    Blueprint ID Number

    Hierarchy

    The hierarchy the Main process originates from

    Call Tree

    Name of the Main processes

    Main Process ID

    Process Id of the Main Process for each process

    Commands

    This is the number of steps (not including decision branches or includes) the Digital Blueprint has.

    Variables

    This is the number of unique variables the Digital Blueprint has.

    Decision Branches

    This is the number of decisions within the Digital Blueprint. This includes if's, if/else, and else branches.

    Includes

    This is a count of the number of Includes the Digital Blueprint has.  Typical use of an include is to “call” another process.

    Complexity

    This is the Cyclomatic Complexity of the process that make up that 'bot' or main.  Refer to Cyclomatic complexity - Wikipedia.

    Applications
