The RWM application was deprecated with Appian 24.1. The application will no longer be updated or pre-installed for new Appian Cloud sites with Appian RPA enabled. RWM will be removed in a future release and we encourage customers to use the Operations Console to manage robots instead. |
Appian's Robotic Workforce Manager (RWM) application works with Appian RPA, Blue Prism, or UIPath to govern and administer robots for robotic process automation (RPA). RWM enables the automation of the Center of Excellence (COE) and helps bridge the gap between human and digital workers. It helps identify and measure automation opportunities and provides visibility, governance, and control over the digital workforce. In addition, RWM empowers business users to manage robotic processes themselves by allowing them to start, schedule, and request new RPA processes, as well as seamlessly incorporating them into the process of managing process exceptions.
This page gives a high-level overview of the RWM application.
The Robotic Workforce Manager is made of two modules:
