automation first three-pronged approach ✔✔-A robot for every person -Open and free collaboration -Robots learn skills UIPath Studio ✔✔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 ✔✔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 ✔✔-Attended -Hybrid -Unattended Attended robot ✔✔Triggered by user events, and operates alongside a human, on the same workstation. Started from robot tray or command prompt Unattended robot ✔✔Run unattended in virtual environments and can automate any number of processes Project Panel ✔✔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 ✔✔Displays valuable information about the execution of the automated process: messages logged, errors, and warnings Variables panel ✔✔Enables creating variables and changing their attributes Arguments panel ✔✔Enables creating variables and changing attributes of arguments that store data which are passed between projects Imports panel ✔✔Allows viewing the imported namespaces, and also adding new ones Namespace ✔✔Classes of activities or variables that can be used in a project Properties panel ✔✔Allows viewing and changing the properties of a selected activity. The information shown is contextual, as different activities can have different properties Outline panel ✔✔Displays the project hierarchy, all available variables and nodes. You can go to a specific activity by selecting it Process ✔✔A set of interrelated or interacting activites that transform inputs into outputs. Components of a process ✔✔-Inputs -Process Flows -Source applications -Outputs Inputs ✔✔The data that goes in the process Process flows ✔✔The sequences of sub-processes or activities used to perform the sub-processes or activities of the process Outputs ✔✔The result generated by the process What a procedure explains ✔✔-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 ✔✔-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 ✔✔-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 already automated)
