FAQ
Licensing
What Blueprint licensing model is my site using?
See Licensing in Blueprint to learn how to determine your licensing model.
How many Bot activation licenses have I used / do I have left?
See Licensing and Activity Reporting to learn how to identify used and remaining license counts.
Will a bot license be used if I activate a process multiple times?
No. Blueprint detects if an identical component has been imported before. It will be flagged as a 'duplicate', separated out on Dashboards and Reports, and will not consume additional bot activation licenses.
Do "hidden steps" consume Blueprint licenses?
No. Some RPA tools allow users to disable or hide code steps. Since Blueprint doesn't migrate these, they do not consume licenses.
What causes a "Licenses Running Low" warning to be displayed?
When a user attempts to Activate processes and the number of remaining licenses is low (e.g. approximately 80% consumed), Blueprint will display a warning message to ensure license consumption status transparency and to prompt users that additional licenses may need to be procured to continue the migration effort.
What causes an "Out of Licenses" error to be displayed?
When a user attempts to Activate processes that require more licenses than are available, the user will receive an error message indicating that there are not enough unused licenses for the requested Activation operation and that the selected processes will not be Activated. Additional licenses must be procured to continue the migration effort.
How can I procure additional licenses?
Please contact your Blueprint Sales Representative, Customer Success Manager, or Blueprint Support.

Dashboards & Reports
How large are my automations?
You can see the overall number of processes and overall number of actions for your entire estate at a glance, as well as the average number of actions per process, and the largest process in terms of number of actions. All of this is available at the top-right of the Statistics Dashboard.
You can also see the Number of Actions within each individual process, and how many of those Actions are Commands and how many are Variables. All of these aspects can be sorted to easily find processes with the most actions, commands, or variables for example. This information is found in Statistics Reports at the bottom of the Statistics Dashboard.

How complex are my automations?
Blueprint calculates the complexity of each individual process to get a complexity score, then categorizes as High, Moderate, or Low. This information is available for each process in the Statistics Reports, and graphically in a histogram of all processes at top-left of the Statistics Dashboard.
How can I see the worst case automations for size and complexity?
A graphic of size vs. complexity is provided at the top-center of the Statistics Dashboard with a dot representing each process in the selected scope. Hovering over any dot gives the name of the process. The entire graph can be expanded to provide greater precision simply by clicking on it.
Where can I find information on how my automation is constructed?
Information for each process including commands, variables, complexity, decisions, includes, applications, and total actions is in the Statistics Reports at the bottom of the Statistics Dashboard. You can search to find any of your processes within the selected scope, and can sort any of the detailed information columns.
Where can I find more details on how my automation is constructed?
All of the commands that comprise each process is available in an exported report. To get the report, select "Export All Commands to Excel" in the Actions dropdown for the Statistics Report at the bottom of the Statistics Dashboard.
What are all the processes that comprise my automation?
Automations are typically comprised of a main process that calls other processes, that in turn call others, to form a tree-like structure. You can generate that call tree for a selected scope by clicking the "Download Call Tree" button in the Statistics Dashboard. To learn more about Call Trees, see Call Trees.
The resulting file is in SVG format that can be opened in any internet browser. Since the contents can be very large, this format allows it to be zoomed to any extent and still be readable. It is also searchable using the browser's search (CTL-F), an example shown in the diagram here.

What applications are my processes using?
Automations interact with applications and its often required to know how many applications, which applications, and how often these interactions occur. Information about process and application interaction can be found in the Applications Dashboard and Applications Report.
On the left side of this dashboard is summary information about how often particular applications are referenced.
On the right side is the ability to select an application and see the specific processes that reference it, or the opposite: select a process and the applications it references. See more information here.

Is anything called that wasn't included in the import?
It's important to know if you have the required components when analyzing an estate for migration, or if anything is missing. Blueprint provides a Missing Processes report that lists any components being called that don't currently exist in Blueprint.
Which components are currently being reused in my estate?
Components being called more multiple times are being "reused". Reuse is beneficial in a numerous ways and should be encouraged. The alternative of having multiple copies of the same or highly-similar code can be very detrimental.
Blueprint provides a Reuse Report to show how many times components are being called in the estate.
