The Activity Configuration section plays a pivotal role in optimizing and personalizing workflows within Robility Designer. It provides users with several powerful tools designed to enhance workflow performance, improve adaptability, and ensure smoother collaboration. Let’s take a deeper dive into the key features that drive the efficiency of this section:

Dynamic Resilience

Enabling this feature empowers robots to adapt to changing UI elements dynamically, ensuring that the automation process remains resilient even in environments with fluctuating or unpredictable elements. When robots are tasked with locating specific UI components, this feature enables them to capture and account for surrounding elements, improving their ability to identify and select the correct native element. This intelligent functionality helps overcome challenges related to varying UI layouts, element visibility, or screen resolution changes. By automatically adjusting to these conditions, Dynamic Resilience ensures consistent performance and smooth execution of automation tasks.

This feature significantly enhances the robustness of automation workflows, particularly in scenarios where UI elements change frequently, such as in applications with complex or dynamic interfaces. It reduces the likelihood of errors or failures during execution, improving the overall reliability of the automation process.

Supported Platforms: Dynamic Resilience is available for both WebAutomation and ImageAutomation. In WebAutomation, it aids in adapting to changes in web page elements and layouts, while in ImageAutomation, it helps to adjust the capture of screen elements, ensuring accuracy even if visual conditions change. This flexibility makes it an essential tool for ensuring that automation tasks are successful across diverse platforms and use cases.

Visual Debugging

Visual Debugging is an essential feature for developers and troubleshooting teams, especially during the automation design and testing phases. This functionality provides real-time visual cues, highlighting the specific UI element being interacted with during the debugging process. These visual indicators help confirm the accuracy of the automation, ensuring that the correct UI elements are properly identified and interacted with as the robot progresses through the workflow. By visually tracking these interactions, users can easily detect any issues, misidentifications, or mismatches, facilitating quicker resolution and optimization of the automation process.

This feature significantly improves the debugging efficiency, reducing the time spent reviewing logs or errors. Visual Debugging gives developers a clear and immediate understanding of what the automation is doing, ensuring smooth and reliable execution.

Assisted Virtual Session

The Assisted Virtual Session (AVS) BETA feature enables seamless collaboration between users and robots on the same machine without interruptions. This functionality allows both the user and the robot to work simultaneously, each within their own session. By leveraging Assisted Robots and AVS, users can create separate, isolated sessions for both the robot and themselves, ensuring that the robot can execute tasks autonomously while the user continues to perform manual activities without interference. This feature enhances the flexibility and efficiency of automation, making it possible to handle tasks that require human intervention while still maintaining automated processes in parallel.

Note: AVS is currently in Beta and will be fully available soon, bringing more robust capabilities for improved user-robot collaboration.
