Foxtrot Suite v12.4

Version 12.4.2

New Touch Actions

A Touch File and Touch Folder Action have been added allowing the user to modify the Created, Modified and Accessed date and time of a file or folder.

New Set Folder Action

A Set Folder Action has been added allowing the user to set the Foxtrot RPA working directory.

New Move Me Action

A Move Me Action has been added allowing the ability to move the Foxtrot RPA window.

Improved Saving

Saving a project to a network folder is now more reliable.  In previous versions, the project was saved directly to the network folder. In some scenarios, the save would fail due to network latency and the project could become corrupt or lost completely.  Now, the project is saved to a local temp folder and copied to the network drive preventing saving disruptions.

Improved If Action

The If Action has been improved to offer a the target’s text option when working with a list or dropdown in a desktop application.

New Email Tokens

When using the Expression Builder inside a Loop Email loop, the following tokens have been added under the Loop view:

• Current Email Sent Time
• Current Email Sent Time (Military)

Improved Email Actions

The Get Email, Copy Email, and Move Email Actions have been optimized so there is no longer a lag when creating or editing the Action.

New Preferences

Preferences have been added for the Copy Email and Move Email Actions allowing the user o set default values for Action settings.

Fixed: Formula Action

In previous versions, if a field used in a Formula Action contained text that matched the name of a function (such as “Time”), the formula would evaluate incorrectly.  This has been fixed.

Fixed: Login Problems

In previous versions, users would log in and see a white screen and were unable to perform any tasks. This has been fixed.

Fixed: Send Email Action

In the previous version, setting up an outgoing SMTP email account required a password.  This requirement has been removed and the password is now optional.  This allows the Send Email Action to work with outgoing SMTP servers who do not require a password.

Fixed: Empty Email Account Appearing

In previous versions, an empty Email Account was being added to existing projects when opened. This has been fixed.

Fixed: Excel Target Rules

In previous versions, Rules were not available when targeting the titlebar of Excel.  This has been fixed.

Fixed: Mouse Sequence Lockup

In previous versions, a Mouse Sequence would lock up in certain scenarios if it contains a Mouse Down and Mouse Up Action. This has been fixed.

Fixed: Import Wizard

In previous versions, the Import Wizard would import items even if they were unchecked. This has been fixed.

Fixed: Click Action

In previous versions, a Click Action would fail to save the Bypass Mouse option correctly. This has been fixed.

Miscellaneous Fixes

This release also includes multiple minor bug fixes and usability improvements.

Version 12.4

Fixed: Enter Key Action

In previous versions, when creating an Enter Key Action that targets an Emulator screen, the settings would not save.  This has been fixed.

Fixed: Computer Up Time Token

In previous versions, the Computer Up Time token would show negative values in certain scenarios.  This has been fixed.

Fixed: Stay on Top

In previous versions, in certain situations, turning on the Stay On Top option would cause the main application window to be placed in front of popup messages. This has been fixed.
