The Keyboard Shortcuts Window

Field	Description
Automation Name	An available automation for which you can set a keyboard shortcut to start it.
Add Shortcut	Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut to start the corresponding automation.
Pause/Resume	Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut which pauses or resumes the execution of the currently running automation.
Stop	Allows you to configure a global keyboard shortcut which stops the currently running automation.

Note: In order to prevent stop/pause/resume actions that can affect multiple jobs at once, the keyboard shortcuts do not apply to background jobs.

There are a few things to consider when you configure automations keyboard shortcuts:

• You can use up to three different modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) and any other keyboard button. Examples: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P, Ctrl + Alt + P, Shift + P. Please note that the FN key modifier is not supported.
• Your character combination can contain numpad buttons, such as Ctrl + Alt + Num3. Note that using the numerical equivalent instead of the assigned numpad button doesn't work.
• If your character combination contains a numerical value, its numpad equivalent does not work. For instance, using Ctrl + Alt + Num3 instead of Ctrl + Alt + 3.
• You can use function key from F1 to F11. Please note that F12 is not supported because it is a Windows global keyboard shortcut.
• You can not use a global keyboard shortcut which is already in use by a different application.
• If a third-party running application uses the same keyboard shortcut but is not global, the Robot keyboard shortcut is taken into consideration.
• Global keyboard shortcuts can be registered and used by Robots installed on virtual environments.
• If the same keyboard shortcut is used by the Unblock options the Block User Input activity and the Robot, it unblocks the user input when first pressed, and either pauses/resumes, or stops the automation the next time it is pressed.
• You first need to start an automation before you can use the assigned global keyboard shortcuts.

You can also zoom in using the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl + Shift + = to zoom in
• Ctrl + - to zoom out
• Ctrl + 0 to reset

The Launchpad Window

Here you can choose to show or hide the Task Capture Launcher and the ability to submit an idea to Automation Hub.

The Tools Window

Using the Migrate feature, automations that are only available on your machine can be published to your Personal Workspace folder in Orchestrator. This feature works by making a comparison between the local feed on the robot machine and the Personal Workspace folder in the Orchestrator to which you are connected.

When an automation is migrated to your Personal Workspace for the first time, a new folder is automatically created in the local feed location. This folder is later used to store all future automations that are migrated from the local feed to Orchestrator.

The Help Window

This section provides you a quick access to the documentation, and a quick feedback survey.

You can also launch one of the guided tours of Assistant, or the UiPath Diagnostic Tool.

Here you can also find information about the company policy deployed, and the UiPath Assistant and Operating System version.
