Configure the process graph for sending automation ideas

Introduction

If UiPath Process Mining is set up for integration with UiPath Automation Hub the Process Graph must be configured to enable end-users to submit ideas for process improvements that are subject for automation directly from the Process Graph to UiPath Automation Hub.

Important:

The fields used for sending automation ideas to UiPath Automation Hub are in the UiPath Automation Hub default assessment questions. In the Automation Hub Detailed Assessment the default questions are customizable and if these questions are modified, en-users will see different fields in the Send to Automation Hub dialog. Please note that in this case Sending Automation Ideas may not work properly and end-users may encounter error messages.

Refer to the Automation Hub documentation for more information. See Customizing the Detailed Assessment.

Attributes

Below is an overview of the attributes that are used to calculate the automation potential and the benefits in UiPath Automation Hub. For Mandatory fields, ensure they are not NULL.

Attribute	Description	Mandatory
Processing time	The amount of time a person is actually working for an event. See Process Graphs.	Yes
Event cost	The manual costs of executing an event.	No
User	The users involved in the process.	Yes

Note:

Be aware that the processing time is not the same as throughput time. It is strongly recommended to use the Event processing time attribute from your dataset for the Processing time as this reflects the time that is actually worked on the event without taking into account any waiting time. This will led to a more valuable calculation of how much time can be saved with automation.

See Adding Automation Estimates and Output tables of the Basic Connector for more information.

Configure the process graph for sending automation ideas

Follow these steps to configure the Process Graph for sending automation opportunities.

Step	Action
1	Open the app in your development environment.
2	Select the Process Graph for which you want to set up sending automation ideas to UiPath Automation Hub.
3	Go the the Process Graph tab and click on ADVANCED... in the General panel. The Advanced Process Graph Settings dialog is displayed.
4	Go to the Automation tab. The Mandatory details section contains fields that must be completed. See illustration below.
5	Click on none next to Processing time and select an appropriate attribute or expression from the drop-down list.
6	Repeat step 5 for Event cost and User.
7	Click on OK.

The Send to Automation Hub icon will now be available on the Process Graph which enables end-users to send automation opportunities to UiPath Automation Hub.

Sending atomation ideas from AppOne

Below is an overview of the table items in AppOne that are used for sending automation ideas to UiPath Automation Hub. To enable end-users to send automation ideas to UiPath Automation Hub from AppOne, it is mandatory to fill these attributes.

Field	Expression/Attribute
Processing time	Manual processing time
Event cost	Manual event cost
User	User

Important:

To enable end-users to send ideas for automation from AppOne to UiPath Automation Hub:

• the values of Manual processing time and User should be filled in, and cannot be equal to 0.
• the value of Manual event cost can be equal to 0, which implies that it is an optional field.
