This task shows you how to edit a bot to set parameters as well as to manage team members.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Automation Co-Pilot.
  2. Navigate to Manage > Bot.
  3. Click on an available bot.
    This opens the Edit Bot page in the General tab.
  4. Specify a name in the Bot display name field.
  5. Reference the file name in the Bot file name field
    Note: The field is grayed out and cannot be modified as this field is to help you reference the name of this bot file.

  7. Optional: Enter a description for your bot.
  8. Optional: Select the Run this bot in virtual window check box.

    Run this bot in virtual window

    This option enables the Microsoft Windows child sessions [Picture-in-Picture (PIP)] feature. This feature enables attended users to run bots in Automation Co-Pilot Desktop Assistant on a virtual desktop window, while they continue to work on other applications. For more information on Automation Co-Pilot Desktop Assistant, see Automation Co-Pilot Desktop Assistant.
    Attended users can also use the PIP feature to run attended bots from the iFrame widget in their web applications, see Embed automations in your application using Automation Co-Pilot.
    Important: Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows Server 12, or any of the later versions are required for virtual window. Here are some of the existing limitations of using the PIP feature:
    • Another instance of your current browser cannot be used on Windows Desktop and the virtual window at the same time.

      For example, if you are using an instance of Google Chrome on your Windows Desktop, the same cannot be used in the virtual window. In order to use Google Chrome in the virtual window, ensure you close this browser on your Desktop.

    • When a virtual window is initiated, you might be logged out of your connected Global Protect software. However, the Task Bot will continue to run in the virtual window.
    • Applications that allow single log in are restricted to the corresponding main or virtual windows.
    • After a bot starts, it runs in the virtual window and is completely independent of the main instance.
  9. Optional: Select Delete bot to delete this bot.
