Copy a bot

Copy a bot to create a duplicate sequence of actions within your private repository. The copy retains the meta-data of the original bot including captured images, recorded objects, called files, and child bots.

Procedure

To copy a bot, follow these steps:

On the left pane, click Automation.
A list of available bots and forms is displayed.
Mouse over the actions menu.
The actions menu is the vertical stack of three dots to the left of each bot.
Click the Copy Task Bot icon.

In the Name field, enter a name for the duplicate bot.

Important: Bot name must be unique. If a bot with the same name exists in the same folder location which you have access to in the public workspace, you will not be able to copy the bot with this name in the private workspace.

Consider the following naming conventions when copying bots:

Ensure that a bot name does not end with a period (.) or space.

Do not use bot names that are reserved for the Windows operating system. The reserved bot names are as follows:

CON	PRN	AUX	NUL	COM1
COM2	COM3	COM4	COM5	COM6
COM7	COM8	COM9	LPT1	LPT2
LPT3	LPT4	LPT5	LPT6	LPT7
LPT8	LPT9	--	--	--

For more information about file naming, see Microsoft guidelines.

Optional: Click Browse to select the folder where to save the bot.
Click Copy.
The duplicate bot appears in the specified folder.
