  • Test and Productive Configurations Dialog has been redesigned and converted into a wizard dialog. Number of Secure Sessions can be defined for one Productive Configuration per robot.
  • Configuration Deployment via a new simple and fast handling through multiple selection.
  • New Feature User Tasks - Support of BPMN User Tasks

  • "My X1" with submenu items "My User Tasks" and "Open User Tasks" show all User Task instances available to the logged in user. In "Open User Tasks", the user can claim available, open User Task instances for processing. User Task instances are displayed under "My User Tasks" and can be opened for processing.
