Managing Machines
- Click Add a new machine on the Machines page.
- Click Add Standard Machine. The Add Standard Machine window is displayed.
-
Enter the exact name of the workstation the Robot is installed on.
See details on how to find the machine name.
- Enter a description for your machine in the Description field.
-
Assign the desired runtimes to the machine. You can edit the runtimes number later on by editing the machine on the Machines page or the License page.
- Configure account-machine mappings.
- Click Provision. Your machine is displayed on the Machines page. You can now start adding robots to the machine, as explained here.
Click More Actions > Edit Machine. The Edit Machine: [machine_name] window is displayed. Here you can see the Machine Key,Name, and Description fields for the desired machine.
Click More Actions > Edit. The Edit Machine: [machine_name] window is displayed. Here you can see the Machine Key,Template Name, and Description fields for the desired template.
Click the More Actions button and then Remove. Alternatively, select one or multiple machines from the Machines page and click Remove.
To view a specific machine's logs, click the corresponding More Actions button and then View Installed Versions & Logs.
To view the versions of every Robot connected to a specific machine, click the More Actions button and then View Installed Versions & Logs.
You can also see a cumulative output of the created Robots' versions on the Installed Version column on the Machines page according to various scenarios:
If you hover over the values in this column, more details are displayed in the tooltip.
The table below illustrates how the Installed Version column is populated and the tooltip of each value for different scenarios.

Only available for Unattended, NonProduction, Testing-purposed machines. Disable a machine from the corresponding Unattended/NonProduction/Testing license pages in order to prevent instant license consumption.
- In the License page, click See More for the type of license that interests you (Unattended/NonProduction/Testing). The corresponding page is displayed.
- Turn off the toggle in the Active column. A dialog is displayed asking for confirmation on disabling the machine.
- Click Yes. The machine is disabled.
- Turn on the toggle to enable the machine.
Keep in mind that you cannot disable a machine as long as Robots on that machine are still running, regardless of what folder they are in.
Assigning machines to folders has multiple implications. See Assigning Machine Objects to Folders for details.
Maximize efficiency and cut infrastructure costs by distributing unattended automation workload to existing infrastructure by specializing machines in executing particular processes.
