March

In March 2026, the BotCity Orchestrator news includes improvements to filters across multiple screens with standardized behavior and the addition of text search by automation and repository. Runners have been unified, eliminating the distinction between Desktop and Background types. The Snippet Generator received adjustments to code blocks with more accurate usage suggestions, and the Execution Log screen gained a new informational alert about the automatic creation of the date column. Finally, BotCity Insights introduces a new card on the dashboard showing the number of hours saved in the selected period, also available in individual reports by automation.

Filters — Minor improvements

Overview

This release updates the filter experience across multiple screens of the BotCity Orchestrator. The goal is to standardize filter behavior and expand search and sorting options in listings.

The modules included are:

  • Datapool
  • Tasks
  • New Task
  • Alerts
  • Errors
  • Execution Log
  • Result Files
  • Runners
  • Automations
  • Bots
  • Scheduling
  • Credentials

Note

All automation and repository filters will now have a text search mechanism.

Filter behavior pattern

The filters in this release follow four interaction patterns:

Single selection via dropdown: Some modules use a simple dropdown, where the user selects one criterion at a time.

Multiple selection via checkbox: Some modules allow selecting multiple values within the same filter.

Free text search field: Some modules have a search field directly by text.

Separate sorting: All modules have "Sort by" separate from "Filter by", allowing filter and sorting to be applied simultaneously.

Runners

Runners have gone through a type unification process. The distinction between Desktop and Background Runners no longer exists; each Runner can run both types of automations.

Other improvements were applied at the time of creating and editing a Runner, leaving only the necessary settings:

  • Name: Friendly name for Runner identification
  • Label: unique identifier
  • Remote Access: (optional) IP address of the machine where the Runner is allocated.

Screenshot of the BotCity Orchestrator showing the new Runner creation screen. The page displays the "About the Runner" form with the fields: Name, Label and Remote Access. Cancel and Create buttons are located in the upper right corner of the page.

Snippet Generator

When accessing features in the BotCity Orchestrator, you will find a Snippet Generator button providing implementation examples using the SDK.

The code blocks have been adjusted, bringing more accurate usage suggestions.

The screen displays the alerts listing in a table format with columns: Type, Alert, Task ID, Automation and Date. Above the table, search fields for Task ID, Filter by and Order by.

Execution Log

Improvement on the creation screen for a new Execution Log.

The alert informs that the date column is automatically created and recorded with each new data entry in the Execution Log.

Screenshot of the BotCity Orchestrator showing the new Execution Log creation screen. The page displays the "Basic Information" form with the Label field, an alert informing that the Orchestrator will automatically create the log creation date column, and the Columns section with an Add button and help link "How do I use this column?".

BotCity Insights

In the BotCity Insights module, a new card is available on the dashboard indicating the number of hours saved for the period selected in the filter. This report is also available in individual reports, separated by automation.

Screenshot of BotCity Insights showing the Dashboard with critical platform indicators. The page displays a highlighted selected time period filter and four financial cards: ROI (71.57%), Time Savings (R$ 92,429.00), Hours Saved (2567.97h) and FTE (13.37). Each card displays a link to access the corresponding report. Screenshot of BotCity Insights showing the "ROI, FTE and Savings" Reports screen. The page displays an alert requesting the completion of cost data per automation, search fields and selection filters, and a table with columns: Automation, Description, Repository, FTE, Savings, Hours Saved and ROI, listing automation records with their respective indicators.
