Frequently Asked Questions
StudioX aims to enable users without coding experience to automate their own repetitive tasks. If you can break a task into the logical steps required to perform it, and have basic technical "know how" such as the ability to proficiently work with Microsoft Excel (for example, you are familiar with formulas such as VLOOKUP, you know how to create pivot tables or how to run macros) StudioX may be the right automation tool for you.
You can use StudioX to automate:
- Web and desktop applications - Fill out and submit forms, extract data, and more.
- Microsoft Office - Automate common tasks you perform in Excel, Word, or PowerPoint.
- Repetitive tasks involving emails, such as sending emails and calendar invites, or downloading attachments from Outlook, Exchange 365, and Gmail accounts.
- File and folder manipulation - Automate various operations such as copying, moving, creating, or deleting files and folders.
You can automate manual processes across multiple applications. For example, you can design an automation that saves specific Excel files you receive as attachments to Outlook emails, and then fills out web forms with data from those files.
StudioX is a profile in UiPath Studio. To use StudioX, install Studio, activate, and select the StudioX profile.
StudioX has the same hardware and software requirements as UiPath Studio.
A Robot is installed together with StudioX to enable you to execute the projects created in StudioX. The Robot cannot be installed on a separate machine.
- Watch the StudioX introduction video (~6m:30s).
- Follow the tutorials in this guide.
- Complete the Citizen Developer learning plan in the UiPath Academy.
- From StudioX, by clicking the Run button in the ribbon.
-
From the UiPath Assistant, after publishing the project:
- If the Robot is not connected to Orchestrator, you can publish projects locally using the Robot Defaults option.
- If the Robot is connected to Orchestrator, you can publish projects to Orchestrator.
Yes, UiPath licenses include all of the capabilities from lower licenses/SKUs. This means that a Citizen Developer license includes a production Attended license that enables you to run production automations from UiPath Assistant.
Any license that enables access to the Studio profile also gives you access to the StudioX profile.
Any StudioX project can be opened and edited from the Studio profile. This enables RPA developers to troubleshoot and fix potential issues or add capabilities that a Citizen Developer cannot easily add from the StudioX profile. When editing a project created in StudioX from the Studio profile, it is important to ensure the changes you make do not affect the project's compatibility with StudioX, so that it can still be opened and edited from the StudioX profile. Keep in mind that:
- You can edit existing StudioX projects in Studio, but you cannot create StudioX projects from the Studio profile.
- Only the Main.xaml workflow file can be viewed and edited from the StudioX profile. Additional workflow files can be added to the project and invoked using the Invoke Workflow File activity, but they are not visible when the project is opened in the StudioX profile.
- All activities in the Main.xaml file must be placed inside the SequenceX container activity, the root activity added by default to all StudioX projects.
- Because StudioX only works with simple data types, if you add activities that are not designed for StudioX to the project, StudioX users may not be able to configure them.
Any activities package can be added as a project dependency in StudioX from the Manage Packages window. For more information about adding package sources and installing packages, see Managing Activities Packages in the Studio Guide.
However, activities intended for StudioX follow different design guidelines, so it may be difficult or impossible to use some Studio activities in StudioX:
- StudioX keeps variable types very simple by design, while many activities designed for Studio require the user to modify and configure specific types which StudioX does not support. If this is the case, the user will not able to successfully use the activity.
- The key properties of StudioX activities are available in the body of the activity (in the Designer panel). StudioX users are not accustomed to configuring activities from the Properties panel.
All the activities that are available in StudioX can be used in Studio and Studio Pro. Click View Options at the top of the Activities panel, and then select Show StudioX. The StudioX activities available in the packages installed for the current project are listed in the StudioX category.
You can publish StudioX projects to Orchestrator using the same publishing process as for Studio projects. For more information, see About Publishing Automation Projects in the Studio Guide.
You can create custom activities for StudioX in the same way as you do for Studio, but make sure to take into account that StudioX activities follow different design guidelines.
Any library published from Studio can be added as a project dependency in StudioX. RPA developers can create libraries following the instructions on the About Libraries page in the Studio Guide.
After a library is created and published from Studio, StudioX users can add the location where the library was published as a package source, and then install the library in projects from the Manage Packages window. For more information about adding package sources and installing packages, see Managing Activities Packages in the Studio Guide.
When creating libraries for StudioX, take into account that StudioX activities follow different design guidelines.
You can create custom Workflow Analyzer rules for StudioX in the same way as you do for Studio. To make a rule available in the StudioX profile, an additional property must be defined. For more information, see Building Custom Rules in the Studio Guide.
Organizations can control access to activities package feeds, Workflow Analyzer rules and settings, and enable or disable features in the product.
You can enforce governance policies in one of the following ways:
- Create and deploy policies from UiPath Automation Ops, an easy-to-use web application.
- Use a file-based governance model that consists of creating a JSON policy file and deploying the file locally, externally, or via Orchestrator.
For additional control, organizations can create custom Workflow Analyzer rules that enforce specific settings, policies, or behaviors. For more information, see Building Custom Rules in the Studio Guide.
Execution logs contain information about the applications, URLs, Excel and Word files that are used in automations, as well as information about emails sent using Outlook activities. For more information, see Audit Logging.
