Converting Report to Bot create "new" "Hidden" tables

[Lucinda_Mason]

I found these in the app documentation. They did NOT exist BEFORE I converted a report to a BOT. Does converting to BOT create new tables? If so, where are they stored?

note: Visible? = NEVER

NOTE: we need BOT as a choice to select

Hi @Lucinda_Mason,

These tables are internal system tables. They allow functionality that lets you use data returned in previous steps. For example if you call a sub process and want to use the data returned from the sub process in an If/Else step’s expression. These tables will facilitated evaluating that expression.

Thanks. So they only contain data while the bot runs? Are they all on the Server side?

[Dan_Bahir]

Yes, they are server side and contain data only when bots run.

Did you know that the Descriptive Comment from a Report does NOT copy to the BOT? Or at least not where I can find it.
Comment existed in report

Comment missing from Bot

Thanks for paying attention to that, Will get it fixed ASAP.

Dan_Bahir:

Seems like it might be a good idea to hide them in the generated app documentation–to avoid confusion like this. Is that possible?

[Dan_Bahir]

The comments will now be copied over from the Workflow Rule/Report to the Bot.

Thank you.
