Configure Robots

  1. On the Design Studio toolbar, select Configure Robot . You can also select Configure Robot from the File menu.

    The Robot Configuration window appears.

  2. On the Basic tab, click Configure.
  3. Configure default options that apply to all step actions of the robot.

    A step action can override global options as needed.

  4. Click OK.
  5. In the Robot Comment field, enter an optional comment.

    This comment is useful if you want to document how the robot works, what should be taken into account when editing the robot, and so on.

  6. In the Robot Tags field, you can add tags for a robot. The tags are displayed in the Tags column under Repository > Robots page in Management Console.

    You can use the tags to filter the list of robots in the Management Console. Tags can contain letters, numbers, and underscore. You can use 255 characters in tags. If you type more than that number, only the first 255 of them are saved.

  7. In the Human Processing Time (m) field, you can specify the time in minutes required for a person to perform the same task that the selected robot performs during its run.

    The difference between the specified value and the actual robot run time is displayed in the "Manual processing time saved" table of the Overview report in theKofax Analytics for RPA.

  8. On the Advanced tab, you can specify an optional proxy server to use for all page and data loading performed by the robot.

    This property is used infrequently. Typically, it is better to specify one or more proxy servers under Design Studio settings. See Proxy Servers for details. The proxy server specified for a particular robot overrides proxy servers specified any other way. Furthermore, you can use the Change Proxy action to change the proxy service during robot execution.
