What is a process?

A process is a program created with UiPath.

The process is also called a workflow, which is a graphical representation of the automated process flow in UiPath Studio.

In UiPath, there is a clear distinction between a process and a robot (i.e., the environment in which a process is executed), so be careful how you use the terminology!

Create a new process

1. On the desktop, click the Windows icon in (1), and then click [UiPath Studio] in (2).

2.Click [Process] in the upper right corner.

3. Enter a name, location, and description, and then click [Create].

Name	Enter a name for the process.
Location	Select a location to save the file for the process.
Description	Enter a descriptive text for this process.

4. Click [Open Main Workflow].

5. We created a new process and opened the Workflow Creation screen.

Open the created process.

There are two ways to open a created process.

1. Open the process from Studio

(1)Click [Open a Local Project] on the initial screen of Studio.
(2) Open the folder for the target process.
(3) Open [project.json].

2. Open the process from Explorer

Open the folder where the process is saved and open [Main.xaml].

The following figure illustrates a user interface that is frequently specified.

An “activity” is the smallest component that can be used in an automation.

This section describes the steps to create and run a very simple workflow.

[Sequence is a box for other activities, like a folder in Explorer.

3. Type “message box” in the search window of the activity.

4. Drag and drop the [Message Box] into the [Sequence].

The [Message Box] is an activity that displays a pre-defined message.

5. Enter “text” in the text area of the [Message Box].

Note that the characters in the message box need to have ” before and after them.

6. Click the bottom part of [Debug File], and then click [Run].

7. The string you have just entered will be displayed in a dialog box, click [OK].

You have now completed the process from creation to execution.
