Design a Process with Robusta Modeler

You can log in to Modeler (Design Studio) by using the orchestrator server IP address or domain address. For example:

https://cloud.robusa.ai/modeler or https://1.2.3.4:8443/modeler

Use the same username and password as in the worker connection process. Enter your username and password to log in to the Modeler.

In the Processes tab, you will find menus to create, import, search, and edit processes.

To create a new process:

  1. Click the Create Process button.
  2. Fill in the necessary fields.
  3. Click the Create New Model button.

You must enter values for the Model name and Model key fields. The Model key field cannot contain special characters (except _ and -) or spaces.

Following screenshots show a process in design studio. On the left panel, you can see BPM and RPA components all together. On the right side, you can see the canvas where we generate the process flow.

Drag and drop a selected activity onto the canvas and fill in the necessary parameters. To define the flow, connect the activities to each other using arrows.

For example, the values for the Move activity under File operations may be set as given in the following table:
File name C:\TrainingProcesses\MoveFile\FiletoMove.txt
Destination path C:\TrainingProcesses\MoveFile\FoldertoMove\FiletoMoveNew.txt

Drag and drop the arrow icon on an activity to connect two activities.

After completing the process flow:

  1. Validate the model to check for errors by clicking the Validate button.
  2. Save the model by clicking the Save button.

After saving a process, it must be included in an App to be run. In the Apps tab, you will find menus to create, import, and edit apps.

To create an App:

  1. Click the Create App button.
  2. Fill in the necessary fields.
  3. Click the Create New App Definition button.

The App definition key field cannot contain special characters (except _ and -) or spaces. Set Group access to Your Group Id to prevent your app from being seen by others.

To add your model into an app:

  1. Click the Edit included models button.
  2. Select the process to be included in your app.
  3. Once your model is selected and you see the plus icon, click the Close button.
  4. Click the Save button to save your app.
  5. Click the Publish? checkbox, then click the Save and close editor button.

To run your process:

  1. Go back to the Processes tab and select your process.
  2. To run the process on a worker, click the Play button.
  3. Select your Application and Worker.
  4. Click the Run Process button.
