About Automation Projects
An automation project is a sequence of activities that a Robot can execute to automate a series of tasks you perform on your computer. You create and view the automation project in the Designer tab of StudioX.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\UiPath directory.
The project folder includes:
- a
Main.xamlfile that contains your main workflow. - a
project.jsonfile that contains information about your automation project. - an Excel file, by default
Project_Notebook.xlsx, if you did not configure your project to use a different Project Notebook. - a
.screenshotsfolder, with informative screenshots, if your project contains UI automation activities. - a
GlobalHandlerX.xamlfile that contains a workflow designed to determine the project’s behavior when an execution error is encountered. - a
RuntimeExecutionError_Template.htmlfile that contains a template for the error message to display when an execution error is encountered.
Publishing an automation project means archiving the workflow and all the other files in the project folder so that it can be sent to Robots and then executed.
If the Robot is connected to Orchestrator, you can publish StudioX projects to Orchestrator and run them from UiPath Assistant. If the Robot is not connected to Orchestrator, you can publish your projects to the Robot Defaults and run them from UiPath Assistant.
The publishing process for StudioX is the same as the one for Studio. For more information, see About Publishing Automation Projects in the Studio guide.
To configure the settings of each project, select Project > Project Settings in the StudioX ribbon.
