Robotic Process Automation (or RPA) implementation is conducted over multiple critical phases. In the Discovery phase, you identify the business processes beneficial for automation. In the Design phase, you create an RPA plan for automating them. In the Development and Testing phase, you execute the RPA plan and develop bots, testing them thoroughly during development. Next, you need to deploy the bots and set them up for routine monitoring. These activities are performed next in the implementation lifecycle: in the Deployment and Maintenance phases. You can deploy bots in various devices and also monitor their performance live via the Web Control Room. This is a web-based application, with comprehensive workload management, granular security controls, and an intuitive analytics dashboard. It is the one central interface from where you can create and manage users and roles, monitor connected and disconnected devices and schedule bot execution. As you begin this course, you will be introduced to the user interface of the Web Control Room. You will explore various panels and components in its Features Panel. You will also study some of the best practices and troubleshooting procedures that you can apply while using the Web Control Room during RPA Deployment and Maintenance. The learning will be reinforced through concept description, hands-on tasks, and guided practice.

Syllabus

Understanding Control Room

In this module, you will explore the user interface of the Web Control Room and the panels and components present in its Features Panel. You will then use the Dashboards and Activity panels and their components to monitor and view activities of deployed bots respectively.

Using Control Room Feature Panel -I

In this module, you will use the feature panels of the Control Room such as Bots, Devices and Workload to schedule and execute deployed bots, monitor devices and device pool and manage workload across machines.

Using Control Room Feature Panel - II

In this module, you will use the feature panels of the Control Room such as Audit Log and Administration to view or back up activities performed in the Control Room and AAE Client, and to create and manage users, roles, and licenses. Finally, you will Identify the best practices and troubleshooting procedures followed during the RPA Deployment and Maintenance phases.
