Feature Toggles

Select the Feature Toggles tab to control settings that are not available in the Studio UI and can only be configured using governance policies, such as setting a limit for the number of consecutive runs that can be triggered from StudioX, hiding certain activities from StudioX users, or enabling the collection of usage data in Application Insights in your organization's Azure portal.

Note: Only the options in the General Settings section are available in policy template versions prior to 21.10.0.

General Settings

• Allow users to send feedback - Select Yes to enable the Send feedback form that users can access from the Studio title bar. This option is enabled by default.
• Hide Getting Started screen - Select Yes to hide the welcome screen with links to the UiPath Academy, an introduction video, and tutorials that is displayed when users open Studio. Even if you don't hide this screen, users can still hide it after it is first displayed. This option is not enabled default.
• Publish applications metadata - Select Yes to track what external applications and URLs are targeted by an automation.

Note: The Publish applications metadata setting is available starting with the 23.4.0 policy template version.

Control What Activities Are Available (StudioX Policies Only)

The following settings enable you to prevent the use of certain activities in StudioX:

• Show “Developer Panel” - Select Yes to allow enabling the Show Developer filter in the Activities panel which gives users access to activities that were not designed for StudioX.
• Activities to hide - Enter a list of activities that you want not to be available to users. Add the activity namespaces (e.g. UiPath.Excel.Activities.Business.WriteRangeX) separated by comma (,). The activities added to this list are hidden in all projects where the package they are included in is installed as a dependency.

Collect Telemetry Data

If you want to monitor and analyze what users in your organization are doing in Studio, you can set up an Application Insights resource in your Azure portal and configure Studio to send telemetry data to it. To enable this feature, simply enter the instrumentation key of your Application Insights instance in the Application Insights target text box.

For more information about the telemetry data that is sent to Application Insights and how you can use it, see Governance in the Studio guide.

Prevent Production Runs (StudioX Policies Only)

The following settings enable you to limit the number of consecutive runs that can be triggered from StudioX for a project that has no changes, and to configure logging settings for events where the limit is exceeded.

• Permitted consecutive runs with no change - Maximum number of consecutive times a project without changes can be run from Studio.
• Dialog message prompts for users - Message to display to the user in a dialog box when the allowed number of consecutive executions is exceeded. The dialog box prompts the user to either publish the project or cancel the execution.
• Queue name to store the run count - Orchestrator queue in which to log information when the allowed number of consecutive executions is exceeded. The following information is logged for each event: username, project name, hash of the main XAML file, and timestamp from the local machine.
• Folder location of the queue - Orchestrator folder containing the queue in which to save the records.
