Design Studio

To make databases and/or devices available to Design Studio, make selections in this section.

Shared databases are sent to all Design Studio clients being activated by getting the license from the Management Console.

Every time Management Console starts up, it ensures that:

  • At least one database exists in the default cluster.

    The default cluster is automatically selected by the Management Console. Typically the default is the first cluster of the Production or Non Production type. The type is based on the license key.

  • At least one database mapping exists in the default project.

    The default project is either the project named "Default project"or the first project in the list when the default project name does not exist.

The default cluster named Production is automatically created for shared databases.

Databases to send to Design Studio

  • Select a specific cluster to make databases from this cluster available to Design Studio. Make sure that databases exist in that cluster. You can check it on the Repository > Admin > RoboServers > Cluster settings > Databases tab.

  • Select All to make databases from all clusters available to Design Studio.

  • Select Mapped to only provide databases that are mapped to the project that Design Studio users have access to. Make sure a database mapping exists that points to this database. You can check database mappings in the Repository > Database mappings section.

  • If None is selected for databases, only database types and drivers will be available to Design Studio .

To define a special set of databases that are available to Design Studio, you can create a special cluster. This approach may be useful if you prefer not to send production databases to Design Studio.

For information on database mappings in Design Studio, see Map Databases.

Devices allowed in Design Studio

  • Select a specific cluster to make devices from this cluster available to Design Studio.
  • Select All to make all devices available to Design Studio.

  • If you select None, devices will not be available to Design Studio.

Users with the RoboServer role and users belonging to the RPA Administrators group have access to all devices regardless of the selected cluster.
