automation first three-pronged approach âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-A robot for every person
-Open and free collaboration
-Robots learn skills
UIPath Studio âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Helps you design automation workflows visually, quickly and with only basic
programming knowledge. Where the automated processes are built in a visual way, using the builtin recorder, drag & drop activities and best practice templates.
UIPath Orchestrator âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Lets you control, manage and monitor the robots. It is also the place where
libraries, reusable components, assets and processes used by the robots are stored. A server
application accessed via browser, through which the robotic workforce is controlled, managed and
monitored
UiPath supported automotation types âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-Attended
-Hybrid
-Unattended
Attended robot âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Triggered by user events, and operates alongside a human, on the same
workstation. Started from robot tray or command prompt
Unattended robot âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Run unattended in virtual environments and can automate any number of
processes
Project Panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Displays the contents of the automation project, enabling the project organization
through creation of subfolders and management of dependencies. Also allows importing
workflows and opening file locations
Output panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Displays valuable information about the execution of the automated process:
messages logged, errors, and warnings
Variables panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Enables creating variables and changing their attributes
Arguments panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Enables creating variables and changing attributes of arguments that store
data which are between projects
Imports panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Allows viewing the imported namespaces, and also adding new ones
Namespace âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Classes of activities or variables that can be used in a project
Properties panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Allows viewing and changing the properties of a selected activity. The
information shown is contextual, as different activities can have different properties
Outline panel âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€Displays the project hierarchy, all available variables and nodes. You can go to
a specific activity by selecting it
Process âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€A set of interrelated or interacting activites that transform inputs into outputs.
Components of a process âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-Inputs
-Process Flows
-Source applications
-Outputs
Inputs âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€The data that goes in the process
Process flows âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€The sequences of sub-processes or activities used to perform the sub-processes
or activities of the process
Outputs âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€The result gene by the process
What a procedure explains âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-Who is responsible for each part of the process
-When each part of the process needs to occur
-How to handle exceptions
-The specifications applicable to each part of the process
Factors driving automation potential âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-Rule based (Decisions are made based on business rules
and pre-defined logic)
-Process type
-Standard input (Content is positioned in the same place even if the input types are different)
-Process expected to change (Are processes or applications used to process a case going to change
within 3-6 months?)
-Unknown exceptions % (Percentage of the total volume received which cannot be processed
without an external factor)
Process types âœâ€Ã¢Å“â€-Manual and repetitive (Process performed by users and most of the process
steps are the same for all cases or transactions)
-Semi-manual and repetitive (Process which is performed by users and also involves an automation
mechanism like Macro, Outlook plug-ins, etc.)
-Automated (Process which is automated)ÂÂ
