Nouveautés

Rechercher des activités dans tous les packages officiels

Trouver l'activité adaptée à votre projet est désormais plus facile grâce à la possibilité de rechercher parmi tous les packages d'activités disponibles sans avoir besoin d'installer de package au préalable. Cette fonctionnalité est disponible dans les projets multiplateformes lorsque StudioX est connecté à Automation Cloud Orchestrator.

The Activities panel now groups activities that are available in your project under the label Installed and activities that are included in uninstalled packages under Installable. To make searching even easier, activities packages also have more readable names.

You can add an installable package by right-clicking its name in the Activities panel and selecting Install. You can also double-click individual activities or drag them to the Designer panel. Packages are installed with the latest available version.

The Add Activity search bar was also updated to distinguish between activities that are installed and those that are available to install.

Remarque :

This feature is available for activities from the Official and Orchestrator Tenant feeds.

Prise en charge de Microsoft Office 2021

StudioX is now compatible with Microsoft Office 2021 and Office LTSC 2021. The Repair Tool for Microsoft Office now also supports Microsoft Office 2021.

Variables générées automatiquement à partir des sorties de l'activité

Jusqu'à présent, pour stocker et utiliser la sortie des activités, il fallait créer manuellement des variables. Dans les projets multiplateformes, pour vous aider à créer des workflows plus rapidement, StudioX crée désormais automatiquement une variable pour chaque sortie d'activité et vous donne la possibilité d'utiliser la variable dans d'autres activités du workflow. La variable n'est stockée que lorsqu'elle est utilisée, ce qui signifie que sa génération n'a pas d'impact sur les performances ou la taille du projet.

The generated variable is available for use in other activities in the Expression Editor and by selecting the Plus button > Use Variable in other editors and builders.

To make it easier to see what activity generated the variable, the variable’s name follows the format activity name→the name of the output property. The activity output is not visible in the Data Manager.

The Auto-generate Activity Outputs design setting gives you control over the automatic creation of activity outputs.

Améliorations

Améliorations du gestionnaire de données

Prise en charge du tri du gestionnaire de données

You now have more freedom to group variables and arguments by dragging and dropping them in the Data Manager panel. The way you group these items becomes the default order for your project. The drag-and-drop feature is disabled when you select the Group items by scope menu option.

To make sorting data in the Data Manager easier, we've also introduced a new menu option, Sort sections elements, which lets you sort data by name (ascending or descending) or revert to the default order of your project. This option replaces sorting by right-clicking the Variables or Arguments sections individually.

Actualiser le gestionnaire de données

Using the Refresh button at the top of the Data Manager panel now refreshes local resources independently from Orchestrator resources. This means that you can use resources that refresh instantly (variables, arguments, and resources) while waiting for Orchestrator resources that can take longer to refresh. Refreshed resources are disabled while they are loading and become available after the loading finishes. Additionally, you can now use StudioX while data is refreshing.

Autres améliorations du gestionnaire de données

• De nouvelles variables et de nouveaux arguments apparaissent désormais comme les premiers éléments dans leurs nœuds respectifs dans le gestionnaire de données.
• Plusieurs améliorations de performances ont également été apportées à la mise à jour des données du panneau Gestionnaire de données.

Séparer les dépendances de la conception de celles de l'exécution

Pour augmenter les performances du Robot et réduire la taille des packages publiés, les packages d'activités sont désormais séparés en packages de conception et d'exécution. Cela signifie que les activités publiées contiennent désormais un package de conception utilisé par StudioX et un package d'exécution plus léger utilisé par le Robot. La séparation s'applique uniquement aux activités Windows et multiplate-forme officiellement prises en charge par UiPath.

Suivi des applications et des URL

StudioX can now track what external applications and URLs are targeted by an automation, providing insights into the automation workflow. This information is available for Windows and cross-platform projects after publishing in Orchestrator, Insights, and Automation Hub. Organizations have the option to prevent this information from being logged using governance policies. App tracking requires the latest versions of activity packages to be installed.

Améliorations apportées à la validation de projets

La validation du projet est désormais plus rapide et utilise moins de ressources RAM et CPU.

Automatisation Excel

Nouvelles activités

• Lookup - Finds data in a range or sheet using the LOOKUP function.

Améliorations

• You can now use the Refresh pivot table activity to refresh all the pivot tables in a workbook. When you indicate the pivot table to refresh, a new option called All Pivot Tables is available in the Plus menu for each Excel file.
• You no longer need to specify the columns to compare when using the Remove duplicates activity. A new option now enables you to compare all columns.
• You now have more control over how the Copy/Paste Range activity handles the header of the source range. The Exclude source headers property has been replaced with a dropdown that enables you to exclude or include the header regardless of the source range, exclude it only if the source range is a range, or only if it is a table.
• When you create a pivot table using the Create Pivot Table activity, the fields added as pivot filters now appear one below the other in a column instead of in a single row.
• You can now use the Format Cells activity to set an underline style for the font. The following underline styles are available: none, single, double, single accounting, or double accounting.
• Columns with empty headers are now available for selection in the Plus menu in Excel activity fields where you can select a column. For example, if column C doesn’t have a header while columns A and B do, when you access the column selector from the Plus menu, the header values are displayed for the first two columns (A and B), and Column C is displayed for the third column.
• The Filter Pivot Table activity now enables you to filter by pivot table rows and columns, not just filters. Row and column labels are available for selection from the Plus menu of the Column Name field.

Autres améliorations

• You can now link StudioX projects to Automation Hub ideas from multiple Automation Cloud tenants.
• L'installation de dépendances de projet supplémentaires est plus rapide.
• The Basic License has been renamed to Automation Express License. For more information about this type of license, see the Automation Cloud Admin Guide.
• We added a Triggers filter option that you can select from the Filter by button at the top of the Activities panel. Selecting this option shows all the available triggers.
• Activities Only is now the default filter when searching for activities packages from the Manage Packages window.
• You can now use shared connections when designing projects that use Integration Service. The connection selector displays connections from your personal workspace, as well as those from shared folders in Integration Service.

Changements radicaux

• In previous releases, the Match Function activity threw an error when the value to match was not found. The activity now returns the value -1 in this scenario.
• In previous releases, if you used the Copy/Paste Range activity with a sheet as the source range and selected the option to exclude headers, the first row was not skipped, and the copied range started from cell A1. The activity now skips the first row and copies starting with cell A2 in this scenario.

Résolution de bogues

• StudioX cessait de répondre lors de la modification de la valeur par défaut d'une variable d'un chemin de fichier à une valeur vide et du retour à un chemin de fichier dans le gestionnaire de données.
• The Find First / Last Data Row activity sometimes took longer than expected to process data.
• The modern Read Range activity took longer than expected to process data. To increase performance further, we recommend setting the Read formatting option to RawValue and deselecting the Visible rows only option.
• An error occurred if you used a localized version of Windows and ran a project containing an Insert Column activity in which the data format was set to General.
• The Write DataTable to Excel and Write Range activities didn’t copy the column headers of empty DataTables that contained only headers.
• The Chinese translation for the Plus menu option Ask when run was incorrect.
• An error occurred if the Windows regional format was not set to English (United States) and you ran a project that used a Delete Rows activity with the option All visible rows on a range that included hidden rows.
• When the activities added in a Word Application Scope / Use Word File activity finished processing a document, the document was closed but the Microsoft Word application remained open.
