Activities

Monitor all ongoing automations and pause, stop, and resume them as required. Also, view the Bot Runner (attended or unattended) trigger deployments in queue.

In-progress activity

The progress details of a bot run contains information such as:
  • The name of the bot.
  • The action that is currently being performed.
  • The line number that is being executed.
  • The total number of lines in the bot.
  • Status of the bot run (% completed).
The progress details are displayed only when a bot is run on a local device by a user with Attended Bot Runner license.
Note: Bots that Run with queue can only be paused, resumed, or stopped using the row-level icons.
Note: The Failed or Stopped activities on the In progress activity page are automatically moved to Activity > Historical page.
  • The Administration > Migrations page, where the status is displayed as unsuccessful.
  • The Bot migration report tab, where the status of the bot that was being converted and the migration process that was stopped is set as unsuccessful. The status of all other bots that were not converted is set as pending.
  • The View historical activity page for the entry shows the reason for the failure.

For more information, see Tips on bot status shown on In progress page.

Depending on the permissions granted by administrators, as a user, you can view and manage bots and bot folders. With specific permissions, you can perform the following:
View everyone's activity from my folders
With run or schedule permissions on folders, you can view all bot activity started by other users from those folders. This will be a super set in the View my activity output.
Manage everyone's activity from my folders
With run or schedule permissions on folders, you can perform management activities, such as Pause, Resume, and Stop on all bot activity started by various users from those folders.
