Introduction

Overview​

A Process represents your automation definition. It consists of a single or a group of workflows and resources needed to execute your automation. It is packaged and bundled into a particular folder.

The Processes page lets you manage all your automation processes from the Control Room. You can import new Processes, update and manage previously created processes, download process packages, clone processes (BPA), and access control processes. You can also directly initiate a request (BPA) or start a job (RPA) for the selected Process.

Publishing or importing a process requires the User to have View and Create permission on Processes. Cloning a process requires the User to have Create permission on BPA Processes. Starting a job or a process instance for this Process requires the User to have View and Create permissions for Jobs (RPA) or Process Instances (BPA). You can find more information about permissions here: Automation Roles

IntelliBuddies is an RDA platform supporting both RPA and BPA processes.

RPA Processes​

The RPA Processes page lists all the RPA Processes owned or shared with the current User.

RPA Process is designed using Process Designer and is executed by either a Smart Buddy or an Assistant Buddy.

An RPA Process can be published directly into the Control Room from the Process Designer or imported into the Control Room. A Process package is version-controlled. Each time you publish the Process to Control Room, a new version of the Process package is created. The Process published will be available to all users with access to that process package.

BPA Processes​

The BPA Processes page lists all the BPA Processes owned or shared with the current User.

You can design the BPA Process using BPA Designer and execute it using your Control Room workflow engine.

A BPA Process can be published directly into the Control Room from the BPA Designer or imported into the Control Room. A Process package is version-controlled. Each time you publish the Process to Control Room, a new version of the Process package is created. The Process published will be available to all users with access to that process package.
