Add an RPA node

Add an RPA node to your Quick RPAworkflow.

  1. Click below the RPA node or any other node.

    By default, a Start node and an RPA node are added in the Designer area.

    The Add activity dialog box is displayed.

  2. On the Type list, select RPA Node. (Default: Task)
  3. By default, the Title is displayed as activity type. You can change the title as needed.
  4. On the Server list, select the configured RPA server.
  5. On the Project list, select the projects 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 Quick RPA and Data object support for RPA integration within TotalAgility Designer, you are only permitted to utilize 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 Quick RPA is passing 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 reached 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, when states are in use, the dashboard displays the state chart for the jobs.

  10. Click Add.

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