  • Run multiple unattended automations simultaneously on a single machine by batch converting one or more existing robots to high density robots using the Actions on selected rows option.

    Before you begin

    You must do this task in the classic environment.

    Familiarise yourself with the high density robot concept in RPA Hub. For more information, see High density robots in RPA Hub.

    Only the unattended robots that are in New or Disconnected states and are not associated with any robot pool can be converted to high density robots.

    When changing the robot type from high density robot to standard or vice-versa, you must reconnect the unattended robot to ensure seamless execution of automations.
