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: If you consume services or endpoints from an Automation Cloud™ environment (for example, du.uipath.com/ocr or du.uipath.com/ie/invoices) while you are using a different deployment type, such as Automation Suite offline, you need to add the API key from an Automation Cloud account, not the one available in Automation Suite..

1 There is no API Key needed in case of an AI Center standalone offline deployment. However, you need to type in a string of characters instead of the API Key.

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.
