Control Room: Deploy... Execute... Monitor...

Control Room is where it all begins – deployment, execution and monitoring processes and Buddies alike! Modern and web-based UI makes journey to automation a fun-filled experience. What more, you can share the processes, manage your tasks assigned by Buddies, thus creating great collaborative environment.

Let me walk you through major features of Control Room:

• Administration: Control Room allows managing users with access to automations by way of assigning various roles to them controlling what they can access. User can use out-of-the-box available roles or create own custom role per organization requirements. Control Room permits managing licenses to client tools and configuring automation settings.
• Triggers: Control Room allows users to define triggers to execute automations. Triggers help users execute automation based on one of the conditions:
  • Time – execute a particular time
  • Email – execute when new email arrives
  • File System – execute when specified file related event happens

• Job Queue: Apart from listing the jobs as name suggests, Job Queue in Control Room allows users to decide execution strategy for Buddies. Users can choose whether Buddies could be executed statically on specific smart stations, or dynamically executed on chosen workstation based on the availability. Users can thus better utilize smart stations depending on load.
  • Time – execute a particular time
  • Email – execute when new email arrives
  • File System – execute when specified file related event happens
