Audience & purpose

As an Automation Product Admin you want to see all Devices that are registered with Product.

Displaying a list of devices

Use the following guidelines to display a list of devices.

1. The binding of you and a machine will be shown in the Product → Devices → Robot Runners tab. See the following screenshot.

   

2. Your user status:
   • Connected: If you have an active session with Product, your Status will be shown as "Connected".
   • Disconnected: If the session is inactive, your Status will be shown as "Disconnected".
   • Offline: If you were "deactivated" from the "User" management page, your Status will be shown as "Offline".
3. More than one user can connect to Product from a device. There will be a separate entry for each of the users in the "Robot Runners" table.
4. When a user is deleted from Product, their record from the Robot Runners table will also be deleted.
5. When a deleted user is recreated with the same details and logs-in to Product from a device, the device will be shown in the Robot Runners table.
   • This device could be an old device or a different device.
6. When there are no devices registered with Product, the embedded help will display as shown in the following screenshot:

   

7. The breadcrumb trail will show "Device → Robot Runners" when the you are on the Robot Runners page.
8. When the total number of devices is more than what is visible in the table, it will be shown as "X of Y", where:
   • X = The number of devices being shown on the page.
   • Y = The total number of devices.
9. The default sort will be on the "Status" column.

Security

Security-related data (such as IP address, Application path, etc.) will not be shown in the Devices table.

Audit Entry

No Audit Entry will be displayed for the registration/deregistration of a device since it is already handled in the "Log in" and "Delete user" areas.

Audience & purpose

As an Automation Product Admin, you want to filter and export details of devices from where our Robot Creators and Robot Runners have connected to Product. This achieves the following goals:

• Filtering: Facilitates faster search/navigation to the desired data.
• Exporting: Saves a "point in time" data item outside of Product and allows sharing with non-Product users.

Filter

Use the following guidelines to filter device data.

• You will be able to:
  • Filter the information shown in the Devices table.
  • Perform a free text search on all columns in the Devices table.
    • For example, when you type "Status=line", the system will show results wherever "Status" contains "line".
    • In this case, all devices with an offline status will be listed.
• For the filtering on column names:
  • The system will provide dynamic suggestions.
    • For example, when you are searching for usernames and type "Robe", suggestions will keep narrowing down with every additional character typed.
    • Only existing values will be considered for suggestions.
• You will be able to select the value of a column from an available pre-defined list.
  • For example, if you want to filter on Status, you will be shown "Connected", "Disconnected", and "Offline" values to choose from.
  • An auto-populated count of search terms will also be displayed and keep being updated as and when a search term updates.
• The result set will be shown as X of Y, where:
  • X = The search result.
  • Y = The total number of records in the table.
• You will be able to reset the search query.
• The system will remember the last filter applied by you per session.

"AND" vs "OR"

• When you have performed a search on one column, you will be able to further augment the search results.
  • If a second search is performed on a different column, it will be treated as "AND". For example: Status=Disconnected AND name=John.
  • If a second search is performed on the same column, it will be treated as "OR". For example: Status=Disconnected OR Status=Offline.

Export

Use the following guidelines to export device data.

• You will be able to:
  • Export selected data or all of the data from the Devices table.
  • Export filtered data from the Robot Runners table.
• Hidden column(s), if any, will not be exported.
• Data will be exported in a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
  • The name of the exported CSV will be Robot Runners.<YYYY>.<MM>.<DD>.HHMMSS
  • Columns in an exported CSV file will be in the same order as that on the your user screen (consider your column reordering).

Audience & purpose

As an Product Admin, you want to run a Robot on a set of pre-selected devices.

• This will give you added flexibility, in addition to performing a run and schedule from the Robots page.

Description

1. Row level action

You want to trigger a run or schedule an automation on an individual device from the "Device" → "Robot runners" and "Robot creators and Robot runners" page.

2. Table level action

You want to select multiple devices and trigger a run or schedule automation on those.

3. Page level toolbar

You want to trigger a run or schedule automation without selecting any device.

This will take you to the "Robot + dependencies" wizard in the "Create automation" page.

4. Note:

You will not be allowed to trigger a run or schedule on "Robot creators" type devices.

You will not be allowed to run an automation on disconnected devices.

Security

You will not be allowed to trigger a run or schedule on the devices on which you do not have access.

Audience & purpose

As an Automation Product Admin you want to sort the Devices data as per username and column.

Sorting

Use the following guidelines regarding sorting.

• You will be able to sort up to three columns by pressing the Shift key.
  • Sorting will be performed on the entire table data and not just on the data that is currently visible to you.
  • Column headers will display the applied sorting.
  • The system will remember the last sort applied by you per session.
