Create a Robotic Task From a Template
The capabilities described on this page are included in Appian's standard capability tier. Usage limits may apply.
Note: Templates are only available on Appian 23.2 and earlier.
A robotic task is the result of the integration of all Appian RPA platform components. A robotic task follows steps that are configured in the Appian RPA console and executes on a specified robot. This page discusses how to create a robotic task in Appian RPA from a template.
Templates give developers a head start when creating new robotic tasks. Appian RPA includes default templates for common operations.
Go to the Robotic tasks tab in the Appian RPA console.
Click Templates in the toolbar.
Find a template in the list and click Create a robot in the Actions column.
Enter these details:
Name: Name to identify the robotic task in the console and Maven project.
Note: This value must be unique in your Appian RPA environment. Spaces are not supported, so consider using hyphens to separate words. It is a best practice to preface the name with the application specific prefix.
Permissions: Assign permissions to configure security for the robotic task.
Group: Location of the Maven project. We use the default value, although it can be modified.
Version: Version of the robotic task. As in the previous case, the default value will be used.
Repository: Select a repository or use the console's default.
Click OK. Result: The browser downloads the robotic task code and the robotic task configuration page displays.
Tip: For more information about the templates that come bundled with Appian RPA, see the Robotic Task Templates section.
