Pages, Data Items, Blocks, Collections, and Loops

Earlier, we built the skeletal structure of our little purchasing process and then we took a sneak peek at what was inside the toolbox.

In this chapter, we will deep dive into the art of building processes with Blue Prism. The main objective is to explore most of the stage types available in the toolbox and to use them to add more details to the purchasing process that we have created earlier. We will start by taking a close look at the following stage types:

  • Pages: Help us to organize the workflow into containers
  • Data Items: The unit for storing data, such as text strings, and numbers
  • Blocks: Groups stages or data items together
  • Collections: Stores lists and tables
  • Loops: Gets the process to repeat the same steps a fixed number of times
