  • Choose the Automation Type:
    • UI Automation: UI Automation Project is used to create and run web UI automation processes. It includes activities that let users build automations and even interact with them during execution. Note: Only one UI process can run at a time.
    • Background Process: A process can be created where user interaction is not required. n this type of project, multiple background processes can be run simultaneously.These processes will run in the background where no user interaction is required. Since it is a background process, user will not find any UI related activities in this type of project.
      • Example 1: if there is a need to convert a word file in the folder to a pdf format every day then, a background process can be created for this, and the user need not go to the folder and manually convert it all day.
      • Example 2: Outlook mail automation, where an automatic reply can be sent each time a mail with a particular subject has been received.
  • Finally, choose a Template/Snapshot as per the requirement.
