About Call Trees

Call trees present a hierarchical view of a bot starting with the Main (Root) process and showing all the components that are called directly and indirectly. There are different types of components as indicated by the legend:

Description

A typical Blueprint process

A Blueprint process that is reused by another Blueprint process (i.e. called multiple times) and does not call any other Blueprint processes

Calls to components that have not been imported to Blueprint and are therefore unavailable/unknown.
