About this task
- Based on the value selected in the Allocation Type field on the Bot Process form.
- Based on the pending work items and average handling time of previous successfully completed work items, calculate the number of robots needed.
- Minimum value of calculated robots is 1.
- Maximum value of calculated robots is equal to the number of robots in the pool.
Only robots with an assigned credential set and in the Available and Busy states are displayed here to facilitate process job queuing. A job queue contains processes that are executed in a defined order.
You can also run an unattended automation using the Unattended Robot. For more information, see Run an automation using Unattended Robot.
Another way to start an unattended bot process is via triggering the Start Process Action in Flow Designer. For more information, see RPA actions and subflow.
