Trigger mappings

The "Trigger mappings" section shows available trigger mappings. Triggers are part of the Attended Automation functionality in Robots. A trigger robot is a robot that reacts to an event on a remote device. After uploading a robot with a trigger to a Management Console, you can map the robot to users and/or labels. After that the Management Console provides a list of triggers to the Desktop Automation Service based on the created mappings. When a trigger event is detected on a remote device, the Desktop Automation Service sends a notification to the Management Console and the robot performs some programmed steps. For example, you can program the robot to insert or extract some data when a certain application is opened.

Kofax RPA supports user and label mappings for robots. User mapping is only available for robots with triggers. You can enable or disable triggers in a robot in the Robots section.

The "Trigger mappings" section contains two tabs: Users and Labels. The Users tab shows robots with assigned user mapping. The Labels tab shows robots with assigned labels. You can only assign user mappings to robots with triggers.

You can change the way the information for each mapping is presented as follows:

• Filter the list of trigger mappings in the table by applying filters. You can filter by robot name and user/label name, depending on the selected tab. When creating a trigger mapping, you can filter the list of robots.
• Refresh the displayed information by clicking the refresh icon on the right.
• Reset the custom column settings by clicking the reset icon on the right.
• Select the number of items to display per page and navigate among pages by using the navigation menu in the bottom right corner.
