Cloud and on-premises usage

The activities below can be executed by any Robot, be it connected to a Cloud or on-premises Orchestrator. For Enterprise scenarios, they need access to the environment the Document UnderstandingTM licenses are stored in. These can appear either in a cloud account or in an on-premises Orchestrator.

The configuration of these activities differs based on your setup. Please choose the scenario you are based on, considering the type of license you have and where your Document Understanding bundles reside (cloud or on-premises).

Note:

You can use the API Key under Document Understanding pages if the license contains Document Understanding pages instead of AI units

Note: When using an on-premises air-gapped ML Skill deployed on AI Center standalone with the Form Extractor / Intelligent Keyword Classifier activity, the robot needs to be connected to the Orchestrator tenant where the skill was created.
