Widgets
A Widget refers to a plug-in integrated with the UiPath Assistant holding a functionality, for example, the Apps Widget, or your own custom one.
Widgets built by UiPath are distributed via the Official Feed while custom ones are published to the Orchestrator Library
as a
.nupkg file. In both cases, based on the governance policies, they are downloaded and installed in the UiPath Assistant.
The procedure to download a Widget goes through the following steps:
- UiPath Assistant reaches out to Automation Ops to fetch the Governance Policy.
- The UiPath Assistant looks in the Orchestrator Library Feed for the requested Widget.
-
If the Widget is not found there, the Official NuGet Feed is used.
Note: If both feeds are allowed, the UiPath Assistant prioritizes the Orchestrator Library Feed over the Official NuGet Feed. - Widget is downloaded and added to the UiPath Assistant.
Note: For UiPath Widgets (Apps, Marketplace, Automation Store), you don't need to specify a certain version.
Note:
- Any error encountered related to a widget is displayed in the widget sections.
- In order to see a new widget, you need to Quit and restart the UiPath Assistant or sign out and sign back in.
