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: From v.29 and later releases, you might see the following changes on the In progress activity page:
  • You might view activities in the Failed status on the In progress activity page. Click the Refresh table option on the top-right of the table to move such activities to the Historical activity page.
  • It might take few seconds to view activities in the Active status.
  • If permissions for users is revoked and then reassigned, such users will be unable to view activities in the Active status.

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.

Based on the administrative permissions, you can apply various search parameters to monitor and find the required in-progress activities.
