Design Studio

To make databases and/or devices available to Design Studio, make selections in this section.

Shared databases are sent to all Design Studio clients being activated by getting the license from the Management Console. The default cluster named Production is automatically created for shared databases.

Databases to send to Design Studio

  • Select a specific cluster to make databases from this cluster available to Design Studio. Make sure that databases exist in that cluster. You can check it on the Repository > Admin > RoboServers > Cluster settings > Databases tab.

  • Select All to make databases from all clusters available to Design Studio.

  • Select Mapped to only provide databases that are mapped to the project that Design Studio users have access to. Make sure a database mapping exists that points to this database. You can check database mappings in the Repository > Database mappings section.

  • If None is selected for databases, only database types and drivers will be available to Design Studio .

Tip To define a special set of databases that are available to Design Studio, you can create a special cluster. This approach may be useful if you prefer not to send production databases to Design Studio.

For information on database mappings in Design Studio, see Map Databases.

Devices allowed in Design Studio

  • Select a specific cluster to make devices from this cluster available to Design Studio.

  • Select All to make all devices available to Design Studio.

  • If you select None, devices will not be available to Design Studio.

Note Users with the RoboServer role and users belonging to the RPA Administrators group have access to all devices regardless of the selected cluster.
