Edit a bot

Edit bot logic using the Bot editor to add, modify, or delete actions and automation steps.

Prerequisites

Create a user with a Bot Creator or Citizen Developer license.
Consider an automation example where a Message Box action is used. Perform the following steps to edit the task bot:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Control Room as a Bot Creator user.
  2. On the left pane, click Automation.
    A list of available bots and forms is displayed.
  3. Perform one of the following actions to edit a bot.
    • Click the required bot.
    • Click the actions menu (vertical ellipsis), and click Edit Task Bot.
    The bot opens in the edit mode.
  4. Click the Message Box action in the automation.
  5. In the dialog box on the right, edit the required values for the Message box action such as:
    1. In the Enter the message box window title field, enter My edit to task bot.
    2. In the Enter the message to display field, enter Bot Games.
    3. Edit value in the Scrollbar after lines field and Close message box after check box.
    Note: The type and number of variables might vary based on the various actions used in an automation.
  6. Click the ellipsis at the top and select the Ignore unexpected pop-ups check box.
    You can now test the pop-up handler feature while building your bot to ensures that any system pop-ups (such as anti-virus alerts, Windows update notifications, and so on) are ignored during automation runtime. This option is applicable for run now, debug and run from here options, and is not selected by default. You must enable this every time you create or modify a Task Bot.
    Note: The Ignore unexpected pop-ups option is only available for selection if it is enabled by the administrator.

    For more information, see Configure pop-up handling.

  7. Click Save.
