Usage limits may apply. This page discusses how to create a robotic task in Appian Designer. If you are new to Appian RPA, see the Robotic Tasks topic in the Learn section for an introduction to robotic tasks. Create a robotic task Required role: Developer or Administrator Robotic tasks are created in Appian Designer. To create a robotic task: In the list of design objects, click NEW > Robotic Task. Configure the following properties: Property Description Name Name to identify the robotic task. This value must be unique. Spaces are not supported, so consider using underscores to separate words. It is a best practice to preface the name with the application specific prefix. Description Supplemental information about the robotic task that is displayed in the Appian Designer Objects view. Robot Pools to Add Select the robot pool(s) responsible for executing this robotic task. Click Create. The Review Robotic Task Security dialog displays. Configure security for the robotic task. Click Save. Appian creates the robotic task and you're brought to the robotic task configuration page. Immediately after you create the robotic task, you need to configure the robotic task's definition and technical details. See Configure a robotic task to get started. Security The security role map of a robotic task controls which developers can see or modify it and its properties. Unlike some other objects, Robotic Tasks never inherit security. The following table outlines the actions that can be completed for each permission level in a robotic task's security role map: Robotic Task Actions Admin Editor Viewer Deny View definition Yes Yes Yes No Export Yes Yes Yes No Duplicate Yes Yes Yes No Edit definition Yes Yes No No Import new version Yes Yes No No View security Yes Yes No No Edit security Yes No No No Delete Yes No No No Execution Actions Admin Editor Viewer Deny Execute robotic task Yes Yes Yes No Debug a robotic task Yes Yes Yes No View list of executions Yes Yes Yes No View execution details Yes Yes Yes No Download execution artifacts Yes Yes Yes No Query execution info Yes Yes Yes No View robotic task schedule Yes Yes Yes No Create or edit new robotic task Yes Yes Yes No Pause execution Yes No No No Stop/Abort execution Yes No No No Delete execution Yes No No No Feedback Was this page helpful?
