It provides two ways to work with your estate: a flat **Flows View** for analysis and bulk actions, and a **Folders View** for organizing flows into a managed hierarchy. It provides two ways to work with your estate: - **Flows View** β€” a flat, filterable table for analysis and bulk actions (available in both Analyze and ALC). - **Folders View** β€” a managed folder hierarchy for organizing flows **(πŸ”΅ ALC Only)** :::hint{type="info"} β“˜ **A note on terminology.** The label shown in the interface depends on the source tool: **Flows **for PAD, **Automations **for UiPath, **Processes **for Blue Prism, and **Main Task Bots** for A360. For simplicity, the rest of this article refers to all of these as **Flows**, regardless of source tool. ::: *** # Flows View Open the Flows View by clicking "Flows" in the main toolbar at the top of ALC. The Flows View lists all imported processes in a flat, filterable table. Columns can be filtered, enabled, disabled, and reordered. If GenAI Settings are configured and the toggle is on, the search field above the table on the top right will have a **Ask AI **toggle β€” enter a natural language prompt to search for processes that match specific criteria. **Indicators** Each row may display one or more indicators: - **Review Status** β€” current review status of the process - **Needs Attention** **(πŸ”΅ALC Only)** β€” anomalous behavior detected in recent run history - **Updated** **(πŸ”΅ALC Only) **β€” the PAD flow has been modified since it was imported to Blueprint - **Save Type (πŸ”΅ALC Only) **β€” displays the most recent save type of the PAD Flow (Draft or Published) - **Sensitive Data Detected** **(✨GenAI)** β€” process contains sensitive data ## Table Glossary | Column | Description | | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **ID** **(πŸ”΅ALC Only)** | Blueprint unique identifier for the flow | | **\[Flow/Automation/Process/Main Task Bot]** | Name of the process | | **\[Subflow/Sub-Process/Page/Child Task Bot]** | Number of sub-processes | | **Siblings (πŸ”΅ALC Only)** | Blueprint unique identifier(s) for one or more sibling flow(s) | | **\[Actions/Activities/Stages]** | Total number of actions in the process | | **Reuse** | Total exact and close matches that could become reusable components | | **Cloudability** | Percentage of actions in the process that are cloudable | | **Quality** | Number of quality violations found | | **Applications** | Number of native and launched applications the process interacts with | | **Import Date** | Date the process was imported into Blueprint | | **Environment (πŸ”΅ALC Only)** | PAD environment the flow belongs to; shows "Solution File" if imported from a solution file | | **Last Modified Date** | Last modified date of the process | | **Last Modified By** **(πŸ”΅ALC Only)** | PAD user who last modified the process | | **Tags** | Tags applied to the process | | **Risk** | Risk level of the process | | **Folder (πŸ”΅ALC Only)** | Displays the ALC folder the Flow is currently in | | **Version** *(UiPath only)* | UiPath version of the process | ## Actions Select processes using the checkboxes and use the **Actions** dropdown: - **Delete** β€” removes the process from Blueprint (does not affect the source file). For ALC flows, deleting also permanently deletes the flow's Flow Activity data, including alert history. Importing the flow again starts that data fresh. - **Bulk Report on Selected Flows** β€” launches the bulk reporting wizard for selected processes ## Reimport **(πŸ”΅ ALC Only) **Flows imported via Microsoft Dataverse have an additional **Reimport** option in the Actions dropdown. When Dataverse Synchronization and Service Account Secret settings are configured, Blueprint detects updated flows using the **Updated** indicator. Select a flow and choose **Reimport** to overwrite it with the latest version or apply different GenAI settings. You can also click a flow's **Updated **icon to open the Re-Import modal directly. It is the same modal as Actions > Reimport. The icon is clickable in the Flows view, in the Folders view and on the flow record, in a single environment and in the All Environments view. *** # Folders View **(πŸ”΅ ALC Only) **Open the Folders View by clicking "Flows" in the main toolbar at the top of ALC, and then clicking "Folders" in the page that appears. The Folders View organizes flows into a folder hierarchy, allowing you to manage your estate regardless of whether flows have been fully imported. Flows imported to Blueprint appear in blue (clickable β€” opens the process record). Flows that have been **added** but not imported appear in black (non-clickable) β€” they can still be organized in the hierarchy. ## Folder Pane The left pane shows the folder hierarchy. Folders can be moved via drag and drop. Controls at the top: - **New Folder** β€” create a folder and specify its name and location - **Rename Folder** β€” rename the currently selected folder - **Delete Folder** β€” delete the currently selected folder (confirmation required) Flows not assigned to a folder appear at the root of the hierarchy, named after their environment. ## Flow Pane Displays flows within the currently selected folder. | **Column** | **Description** | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | **Checkbox** | Select flows for bulk actions | | **Indicators** | Flow indicators | | **Tags** | User-assigned tags | | **Flow** | Flow name β€” blue if imported, black if added only | | **Import/Added Date** | Date the flow was imported or added | | **Last Modified Date** | Date last modified in Power Platform | | **Last Modified By** | User who last modified the flow in Power Platform | **Actions** | **Action** | **Description** | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Delete** | Removes the flow from Blueprint; does not affect the flow in Power Platform | | **Move** | Move selected flows to a different folder | | **(Re)Import** | Import or reimport selected flows from Power Platform | | **See flow in PAD** | Opens the PAD desktop application to edit the flow |
