Bookmark of Bookmarksss… Let’s cherish 2021

Hi All,

Hope everyone is eagerly waiting for the new years eve.

It’s very obvious that one wouldn’t have got a chance to go through every topic in our forum.

It would be exciting for a forum member to go through a topic that has been interesting for many.

So Let’s start our journey for 2022, by sharing some of our favourite topics, post, bookmarks made during this year or previous years, in our forum.

To start with, here’s the link to my favourites

1. Basic for any new user

2. Next step for a RPA developer

3. Now let’s take it advanced

And there are many to share like such

Happy new year :partying_face:

@Yoichi again for his help and personal guidance in converting a dictionary. This was a life saver when we had to repopulate failed items to a new queue after modifying the specific content from the failed item. I read it this year, the post is from 2020.

Myth busted

@postwick for his excellent test to show once in for all that UiPath standard activties can match performance of linq expression. The forum continues to get questions like “modify abc without looping”, which we need to address collectively. All approaches use interations. Kudos to @ppr for contributing to this thread without any biases.

Collect those solutions

@Palaniyappan for collecting many solutions for manipulating datatables, which he has provided through the years in a single post.
