You can edit multiple devices (or bulk edit devices) to change the settings across these devices at the same time.

Prerequisites

Editing multiple devices is supported only for On-Premises Bot Runner devices (Virtual Machines or local devices created by users). However, the Cloud Bot Runner devices are not supported.

You must be a Control Room administrator or a user with View and manage all devices role to be able to perform this task.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Control Room.
  2. Click Manage > Devices.
    A list of all the available devices in the Control Room is displayed.
  3. Select the Check all check box at the top of the list to select all the devices and click the Edit checked items icon (as shown in the following image).
    Bulk edit devices settings
  4. Use any of the following tabs to change these settings:
    • Devices

      Enables you to select the devices that you want to edit.

    • Device registration configuration

      Enables you to change the registration configuration of the registered devices. Use the Device type field to select the Enable device registration configuration check box to change the default setting.

      Changing the default device registration configuration settings is not supported on registered devices where the Installation type is User-specific. If you select the Enable device registration configuration check box for user-specific device, a warning message is displayed.
      • Single user: This is the default setting and enables only a single user session on the device.
        Use the Deployment type field to select one of the following options:
        • Remote Desktop Protocol: If your registered local device is a laptop or a desktop that does not support Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), your bot execution will fail as RDP is not supported on local device. This is applicable to the Device type > Multiple users as well since the multiple users are not suported on local devices.
        • Regular: Is the default setting.
      • Multiple users: Enables multiple users to concurrently log in to a single device.

        Enter the number of sessions in the Concurrent sessions field. The maximum number of allowed concurrent user sessions depends on your device license type and the hardware configuration. For example, if your device license permits 4 users, you can have up to 4 concurrent user sessions, and each session will require a minimum of 4-GB RAM for execution. If your system RAM is lower than this value, bot execution might fail.

      • Use the Lifespan field to select the Enable Lifespan configuration and choose of the following options:
        • Persistent: This is the default setting. The devices are created to support persistent virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and are not deleted after the device is disconnected from the Control Room.
        • Temporary: Devices are created to support non-persistent virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and are automatically deleted after a specified time when the device is disconnected from the Control Room.

          You can specify the time to automatically delete the temporary devices in the Devices settings of Control Room.

    • Log collection configuration

      Enables you to collect log entries from the devices connected to the Control Room. For more information, see Configure log collection.

    • Review

      Review the list of devices and the associated settings.

  5. Click Submit.
    All the changes are applied across all the selected devices.
