Write and maintain Types to define parameters used in a robot.

It is important that you configure all of the relevant properties. Otherwise, the type may not perform as expected, or it may be invalid.

Types must have:

• A valid name. Type names must begin with a letter or an underscore and can only contain letters, digits, and underscores.

  Note In Design Studio, the name does not include an extension. For example, a type with the file name ExampleType.type is available in Design Studio as ExampleType. For more information about naming, see Naming Policy.

• A unique name. Two types in the same project must not have the same name.

• A type kind which indicates how the type will be used.

You can select the type kind using the "Type kind" drop-down list below the Attribute Table. Normally, it is not necessary to select anything as the type kind "Standard Type" is always used unless you need the legacy type kind "Database Output Type." See the reference documentation on Design Studio for more information.
