Version 6.1 Overview

T-Plan Robot release 6.1 delivers a number of usability and performance enhancements to enrich the user experience.
With the addition of new scripting commands it is now easier than ever to interact with email systems, programmatically read PDF and Word documents, force execution popup windows and work with date calculations.

New features:

    1. New Date command to read, manipulate and format dates (RB-357)
      The new Date command allows to work with the current or input date and process date calculations, such as today plus 21 days.
    2. Cross platform screen transfer for iOS Mirror (RB-354)
      Through our iOS Plugin you can now automate iOS devices on any platform using Screen Mirroring without the need for third party mirroring applications.
    3. Support of PDF document parsing (RB-354)
      Using the existing FILE command you can now easily read, find and extract plain text programmatically from PDF documents.
    4. Support of MS Word document parsing (RB-333)
      Using the existing FILE command you can now also easily read, find and extract plain text from Word documents.
    5. New command to pop up a local message window (RB-318)
      The new Alert command allows you to present popup dialogs on the local display to inform of important information or to make critical decisions during execution. Selected values can then influence the next steps of the execution flow.
    6. Mail Command to fetch, read and update emails programmatically (RB-317)
      Using the new Mail command you can now efficiently read and process emails and their attachments, and once complete why not set them to 'read'.
