Credentials

Use Credentials to hold and input sensitive information such as passwords and account numbers into certain action fields. Using Credentials separates the sensitive information from the bots and Bot Runners, which reduces the risk of data spillage or unauthorized user access.

System variables

System variables are predefined variables that return specific values about the machine on which the bot is executed. Users cannot edit the values of a system variable.

User-defined variables

Users and some actions create user-defined variables to temporarily hold values. Use this kind of variable to input values into an action (window title, login credential, or file path) or to accept the output of an action (values read from a file or a Boolean return).

Create a variable

Global values

Global values enable users to reuse identical values between bots instead of creating new variables for each bot. A user with the AAE_admin role configures a global value with a default value and can enable non-admin users to overwrite the value to use in their bots.

Work Item variables

You can use the Work Item variables to pass the Work Item attributes or values to the TaskBot from the Enterprise Control Room when you run the bot with the option Run bot with queue.
