Add your demo package to the Control Room

Users with Upload package permission can add packages to the Control Room for use by all Bot Creators.

Prerequisites

Before you can upload a package, you need valid user login credentials with Upload package permission for the Control Room you are adding the package to.

Procedure

To add a package from a source other than Bot Store, follow these steps:

Navigate to Manage > Packages.
Click Add package.
Click Browse.
Locate and select the package to add to the Control Room.
Packages are Java Archive (JAR) files that contain actions used to create bots.
Click Upload package.
On the Packages > Confirm package page, choose any of the following options:
- Accept, enable and set as default: Uploads and enables the selected package, and sets it to the default package for the Control Room.
- Accept and enable: Uploads and enables the package, but the package is not set as the default package. Bot Creators have to specifically select non-default packages to use them for creating bots.
- Accept but disable: Uploads and disables the new package.
Choosing Reject stops the upload process.

To add a package from Bot Store, see the following video:

After installation, click Administration > Packages to verify that the package is added.
When you add or update a package in the Control Room, a notification is also sent through the Notifications icon. This notification is sent to the Control Room users who have the View package permission. For more information, see Capabilities supporting notifications.
