Map a table field to a bot process field parameter in RPA Hub

  • Release version: Australia

  • 3 minutes to read

    • Map form fields of the associated attended configuration table (Table field) to the process field parameters used in the automations. For example, if "First name" is the process field parameter used in the automation, then it’s mapped to the form's 'requested_for.first_name' field.

    Before you begin

    Familiarize yourself with Embedded Task Automation concepts. For more information, see Embedded Task Automation (ETA) in RPA Hub.

    Verify that you’ve completed the tasks that are related to configuring the Embedded Task Automation in RPA Hub. For more information, see List of steps for configuring embedded task automation.

    Create an attended bot process. For more information about creating an attended bot process, see Configuring a bot process record in RPA Hub.

    Verify that the Enable Embedded Task Automation check box is selected in the associated attended bot process form. For more information about the bot process form, see Bot Process form in RPA Hub.

    Create an attended configuration record. For more information, see Create an attended configuration record in RPA Hub.

    Create process field parameters that are used in the automations.
    • For more information about creating process field parameters from a bot process, see Create a process field parameter in RPA Hub.
    • You can create a process field parameter by performing step 7 of this task. Verify that the associated bot process isn’t published. Also verify that the associated attended configuration record is either in Draft or Inactive state.

    Verify that the RPA developer (sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_developer) is in the Managed by Group list of the associated bot process that is assigned to an Attended Configuration record. Verify that the Attended Configuration record that is assigned to the given field parameter mapping, must be either in Inactive or Draft state.

    Role required: sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_release_manager, sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_developer, or sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_admin

    About this task

    Field parameter mapping enables an easy data flow during the execution of a bot process.

    You can’t map the same process field parameter with multiple fields. A process field parameter, for example, Name, can't be mapped with more than one field, for example, First name and Last name.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Robotic Process Automation > RPA Hub Workspace.
    2. Select the list icon (List icon.).
    3. Map a field parameter from either the Attended Configuration menu list or from an attended bot process record's related list.
      OptionAction
      Map a field parameter from an Attended Configuration menu list
      1. On the Lists tab, in Build, select Attended Configurations.
      2. Open an attended configuration record.
      Map a field parameter from an attended bot process record's related list
      1. On the Lists tab, under Build, select Bot Process.
      2. Open an attended bot process.
      3. On the Attended Configurations tab, select an attended configuration record.
    4. On the Field Parameter Mappings tab, select New.
    5. On the Field and parameter mapping dialog box, fill in the fields.
      Table 1. Field parameter mapping dialog box
      Field Description
      Table [Auto-generated] Associated attended configuration table.
      Process Field Parameter Select a process field parameter to set or get the value of a field from the particular ServiceNow form.

      For example, if you select 'BadgeID' in the Process Field Parameter field, select 'Badge Id' in the Field. To set the value in the "Badge Id" field of the request table, you can update the value of the "BadgeID" process field parameter.

      Field parameter mapping.

      Process field parameters that are already mapped to the fields are unavailable for mapping.
      Field Select a form field to map with a process field parameter.
    6. Perform any of the following tasks to save the mapping.
      OptionAction
      Only save the mapping Select Save.
      Save the mapping and map another field parameter Select Save & map next.

      Repeat step 5 to map another field to another process field parameter.
    7. To create a process field parameter that can be used in the automation, perform the following steps:
      1. On the Field Parameter Mappings tab, select Create parameter.
      2. On the create a parameter dialog box, fill in the fields.
        Table 2. Create a parameter dialog box
        Field Description
        Name Unique name of the form process field parameter.

        Process field parameters are used for setting the value or getting the value of a field on a particular form.
        Description Brief description of the process field parameter.
      3. Select Create.
      4. Refer to step 5 to map this process field parameter to the form field.
      5. Select Save.
    8. Optional: Repeat steps 5 and 6 to map more field parameters.
