    Role required: sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_developer or rpa admin, if running from RPA Desktop Design Studio

    Procedure

    1. Select Assign bot process from the Design tab of RPA Desktop Design Studio.
      The Assign bot process dialog box is displayed.
    2. Select the required bot process from the Bot process drop-down list.
      Note:
      You must be mapped to the users list of a bot process for it to be available from the Bot process.
    3. If the selected bot process is enabled with Embedded Task Automation, fill in the following required fields.

      Attended Config The attended configurations that are associated with the selected bot process in step 2, are displayed here.

      Select an attended configuration.

      Record Context Enter the Sys ID or URL of the ServiceNow form record.

      This helps you to fetch field values using GetProcessFieldParameters component and update field values using SetProcessFieldParameters component of the selected Sys ID.

      For more about getting the Sys ID or URL, see Unique record identifier (sys_id).

      Note:
      For more information about Embedded Task feature, see Embedded Task Automation in RPA Hub.
    4. Optional: For unattended bot process, select the required robot from the Robot drop-down list.

      You can select the robots that are assigned to the bot process.

      Note:
      Starting from the Vancouver release of RPA Desktop Design Studio, for unattended automations, you can view only those robots from the bot process that are mapped to your user role. The robot must also have your machine name where RPA Desktop Design Studio is running. If there are no robots associated to the bot process, then an error is displayed.
    5. Select OK.
