Add a Group of Robots
You can select to add a single job that will run all robots with path names that match the given criteria. The criteria is evaluated when the schedule is run, so any robots uploaded after the job is created will be included if they match the configured criteria.
Because the criteria is evaluated at runtime, any errors such as missing snippets/types will be logged as errors in the Schedule Run log. The same is true if a robot that uses input variables is run because it matches the criteria.
The wizard for creating a group based on a path name criteria contains a single step.
-
On the "Configure criteria" window, select
the criteria type. Available options are the following: "Robot path starts
with", "Robot path contains", and "Robot path matches pattern".
The list at the bottom will display one or more robots matching the selected criteria. As long as you don't edit the Display Name field, it will change depending on your criteria selection, but once you start editing it, the automatic naming is disabled.
-
Click
Finish.
You can click Finish even if no robots match the configured criteria, since you can later upload a robot that will match.
If you have many robots it may take some time to refresh the list of robots matching the selected criteria.
Note When this job type is added to a schedule configured to run its jobs sequentially, you cannot control the order within the group of robots matching the criteria (but they will be executed sequentially).
