Desktop Automation
This step is deprecated and you should use the Call Desktop Automation Robot step instead.
Convert old Desktop Automation action step
In Kofax RPA versions 10.7 and earlier, a standalone Desktop Automation Editor was used to edit the Desktop Automation workflow contained in a Desktop Automation action step. Starting with Kofax RPA 11.0, you can execute Desktop Automation action steps created in version 10.7 or earlier, but to edit the workflow, you need to extract the Desktop Automation workflow from the step into a new Desktop Automation robot and change the Desktop Automation step to a Call Desktop Automation Robot step referring to the new robot.
The export can be performed with both Web Automation robots and snippets containing Desktop Automation steps.
-
To convert the action step to a robot, in the Projects tree, right-click a Web Automation robot containing a Desktop Automation step and click Export Desktop Automation Robots. If you open a single robot and select the Desktop Automation step, you can preview the future Desktop Automation robot by clicking Preview in the step properties.

For convenience when working with multiple robots, you can export several Desktop Automation robots at once. In the Projects view, right-click any folder or select and right-click multiple Web Automation robots containing Desktop Automation steps and then click Export Desktop Automation Robots.
A new dialog box appears listing all found Desktop Automation steps to extract from.
