Web Updates:


Overview


This release introduces a streamlined and more intuitive Execution Tracking experience, focused on clarity, usability, and real-time visibility into bot activity.


What’s New

1. Simplified & Modernised Layout


  • The Iteration summary table has been removed from the top section to reduce visual clutter and improve focus.
  • The current execution title (e.g., "Automation", "Reverse", "Validation") is now displayed on the header
  • All primary actions (Edit, Delete, Clone, Share, AI Chat) are now consolidated in the page header for quicker access.
  • Additional actions (Start Automation, Reverse, Validation, Stop Processing, etc.) are now accessible via a header dropdown menu.
  • The sheet icon has been repositioned to the header alongside action controls.
  • History (clock icon) and Close actions are aligned on the far right for consistency and accessibility.


2. Focused Execution View

  • The main view now displays only the current execution, eliminating the previous multi-collapsed layout.
  • This enhancement allows users to focus on active processes without unnecessary scrolling.
  • Past executions are no longer mixed into the main view.



3. Slide-Out Execution History Panel


  • Historical executions are now available in a right-side slide-out panel.
  • Access the panel by clicking the clock icon in the header.
  • Each execution expands in an accordion format, providing:
    • Full ITR details (Iteration #, Host Address, CompanyID, Status, etc.)
    • Agent-specific tabs with their own logs
    • Execution logs with timestamps
  • This design improves navigation and keeps the primary interface uncluttered.



4. Live Steps Progress Tracking

  • A new left-side progress sidebar visually tracks execution stages in real time.
  • The workflow is divided into six clearly defined steps:

Initializing → Logging In → Bot Execution → Execution Completed → Updating Workbook → Process Completed


Status Indicators

Each step is represented using clear visual indicators:

  • Green (✓) – Step completed successfully
  • Blue (Pulsing) – Step currently in progress
  • Red (✗) – Error encountered (e.g., login failure, permission issue, data issue)
  • Orange / Amber (⚠) – Warning or partial issue (e.g., login issue)
  • Dark Red (✗) – Login failure specifically
  • Gray – Step not yet started




Special States

  • Stop Processing

When an execution is manually stopped, the remaining steps display a gray indicator with a “Stopped” label, clearly distinguishing them from steps that have not yet started.

  • Login Failure

Login failures are specifically highlighted using a dark red indicator along with a “Login Failed” label.

  • Process Completed (Error)

If execution completes with errors, the final step reflects a custom status color based on the issue type (such as Permission Issue, Data Issue, or Request Error).


Agent Tabs

  • Previously, agent logs were displayed in separate frames.
  • Logs are now organized into tab-based views, where each agent has its own dedicated tab.
  • Each tracking execution is grouped under its respective agent tab, making logs easier to navigate and analyze.



5. Visual & Usability Enhancements


  • Refined layout with improved spacing and alignment for a cleaner, more professional interface.
  • Prominent execution time bar displayed at the top for quick reference.
  • Status badges are now color-coded for faster recognition.
  • Agent tabs for logs
  • History panel utilizes an accordion structure for efficient browsing.


Also, we have added enhancements to the cloning option.


  1. Workspace Selection – When cloning an iteration, you can now choose which workspace to clone it into. You may clone it into the same workspace or a different one. By default, the current workspace (where you’re cloning from) is preselected.
  2. Description Field – You can now add a description to the cloned iteration, helping you better identify or document the purpose of the new iteration.
