Desktop Automation
This action creates a Desktop Automation step. Before using the Desktop Automation feature, you must configure Automation Devices and specify a reference to an Automation Device (not required when automating terminals).
Properties
Configure the Desktop Automation step using the following properties.
- Input Value
- Provide an input value for the Desktop Automation Workflow. If you provide values in this property before editing a new Desktop Automation step, when you click Edit, the values are automatically added to the Desktop Automation Workflow.
- Output Mapping
- Assign a variable to hold the output value from the Desktop Automation step.
- Required Devices
- Specify the way to connect to an Automation Device for the Desktop Automation step. You can select Static Reference or Dynamic Reference. After selecting Static Reference, specify an Automation Device Mapping to use. If you select Dynamic Reference, specify a mapping name to use in the Connect to Device step. See Reference to Automation Device for more information. Once the Dynamic Reference connection was used by the robot and device is connected, the connection stays alive and can be used by the next Desktop Automation steps in your robot.
- Workflow: Edit
- Click Edit to open the Desktop Automation Editor to edit the Desktop Automation Workflow.
