FoxHub: New Design

The FoxHub user interface has been improved to provide a more visual experience. Quickly see what is happening at a glance.

New FoxHub Scheduler

FoxHub is now equipped with a scheduler. Simply open the Schedule view and add a job to the desired calendar date. Recurring jobs can also be added.

New FoxHub Triggers

Triggers can be set up to instruct bots to be put to work in response to certain events that occur. A new Triggers view has been added in FoxHub allowing the following types of triggers to be created:

• File Trigger - Fires when a file is created.
• Idle Trigger - Fires when the computer is idle for a period of time.

FoxHub: Locking Hub

When logins are enabled, FoxHub can now be locked on the Account menu.  This allows a user to secure FoxHub while still allowing queued jobs, the scheduler, and triggers to run.

FoxHub: Local Bot

FoxHub can now run the local bot (on the same machine) without having to log in to the bot.  The local bot will use the Default User profile.  This allows the new Scheduler to be used on the local machine while Logins are enabled.

Improved Targeting Technology

Significant new technology has been added to Foxtrot allowing it to target more applications work more reliably.  Specifically, technology has been added allowing Foxtrot to interact with Microsoft WPF applications, WPF custom controls as well as XAML and Silverlight applications. JHA Xperience is an example of a WPF application that can now be automated using this new technology.

New Presentation Modes

Improved Lists

All Lists will now include an Item No column which allows a Loop Action to loop thru any list.

New Actions

Several advanced Actions have been added and are intended for advanced users:

Action Name		Description

	Read File	Reads the content of a text file as a block of text.
	Regular Expression	Runs a regular expression on a value.
	REST	Executes a call to a REST web service.

Expandable Variable Form

New HTML Target Support

The following HTML target types are now supported:

• ABBR (Abbreviation)
• ACRONYM (Acronym)
• ARTICLE (Article)
• DD (Description List)
• DL (Description List)
• DT (Description List Term/Name)
