that you select:
- Checked items
- Filtered items
- All items
Note: Ensure that the user role is associated with Export operation details permission in order to use this functionality. - Automation Runs
- Provides the status of the various automation runs along with the
corresponding number of automations. It contains the following widgets
that you can click and use as smart filters to shortlist the specific
automation runs in the table:
- In Progress
- Waiting
- Failed
- Completed
Note: Although you can use multiple smart filters, ensure that you clear the previously selected filter before you click another one if you want to only view the results of one specific filter at a time. For example, if you had previously selected Failed, clear this filter before you click Completed as the results will include automation runs from both the filters.You can further use the following options to filter the automation runs:- Status
Enables you to filter the automation runs based on the status such as In Progress, Started, Completed, Queued, Unknown, and so on. Click the Choose drop-down menu to select the desired option. If you select multiple options at the same time; then the Automation runs table will display the search results based on all the relevant filters.
- Automation Name
Use the Search field to enter the name of the automation as the filter.
- Activity Name
Use the Search field to enter the name of the activity as the filter.
Automations
- Automation data
- The various widgets provide you data that includes automation schedule and
status, automation run time, most failed and most run automations, as well
as the currently running automation details. You can use this information
to:
- Analyze recent executions.
- Take corrective action for failed automations.
- Plan capacity for the upcoming scheduled automations.
- Work efficiently, improve reliability, and scale your automation program.
- Understand the impact of automations, ensure all operations are running as required.
- Monitor devices that are in use.
- Document automations
- Provides an overview of the total number of processed and failed documents, along with the documents that have queued for validation in Document Automation.
API Tasks
- API Task data
- The API Task widget displays information about the top 5 most frequently used API Tasks. Like other widgets, it updates at a regular intervals to reflect the current top 5.
- To view a detailed dashboard with additional API Task
information, follow these steps:
- Click the three dots at the end of the widget.
- Select View details.
- Name - The name of the API Task.
- File Path - The location of the API Task.
- Total calls - The total number of API Task
calls .Note: Regardless of how many individual APIs are invoked within an API Task, it is counted as a single call for tracking purposes.
- Max concurrency - The maximum number of concurrent API Task instances that ran simultaneously.
- Run-as-user - The corresponding Run-as-user associated to an API Task.
- Modified by - The user who most recently made changes to the API Task.
Devices
- Device data
- The widgets provide information about resource utilization of all the
devices and average utilization of each devices on which automations are
executed. The information includes device status, device details, average
utilization of each device, and insights on KPIs related to queues and work
items such as queue status and the number of work items processed in a
queue. You can use this information to:
- Plan the optimum usage of devices in the Control Room. For example, if the average utilization achieved over the last 24 hours on a set number of devices is very low, you can identify the total number of devices that are idle and deploy automations on those devices, thus improving their utilization.
- Plan your automation deployments thus improving the efficiency. For example, if the number of active queues at a given point differs from the data 24 hours ago, you can check for any issue and proactively take action. Similarly, with the help of this data, you can restart paused queues and delete inactive queues if they are not required.
- Understand the capacity available for additional automation scheduling, scaling automation program, and for planning the infrastructure budget.
- Distribute the load for better performance, thus reducing the wait time for devices.
