Add an RPA activity

Add an RPA node to your Workflow.

1. On the Workflow tab, select  below the Start node.

   The Add activity dialog box is displayed.

2. On the Type list, select RPA node. (Default: Task)
3. By default, the title appears as the activity name. You can change the title as needed.
4. On the Server list, select the configured RPA server.
5. On the Project list, select the project associated with the RPA server.

   The robots configured in the RPA server appear on the Robot list.

6. On the Robot list, select a robot.

   On selecting the robot, by default, the text defined while configuring the robot appears as read-only in the Robot description field.

   For RPA and Data object support for RPA integration within TotalAgility Advanced Studio, you can only use robots that have a single object as input (no list support) and a single object as output (flat or a list). Any robot not conforming to this signature is not available for selection and if changed after configuration, an error occurs at runtime.

7. Select the input data as Single object (default), All objects, First object, or Last object.

   If a robot in RPA passes all objects as input, RPA calls the robot for each entry in the list.

8. Select the Output data as Multiple Objects (default) or Single object.
9. Specify a State to be set when the workflow reaches that point. For example, when the order for goods is confirmed, set the state as ORDER CONFIRMED.
   You can use the same state twice for different activities within a process.

   At runtime, the dashboard displays the state chart for the jobs when states are in use.

10. Select Add.

    The task is added, and the updated properties are displayed in the properties panel.

    When you remove an RPA node, the system removes any unused variables within the node.
