Configuring StudioX Settings

Configure StudioX settings from the Settings tab in StudioX Backstage View.

Configure General Settings

Configure general StudioX settings by selecting General in the Settings tab.

The following settings are available:

  • The list of recent projects in the Start tab.
  • StudioX layout.
  • The update channel, which is switched to Stable.

Configure Design Settings

Configure design settings by selecting Design in the Settings tab. These settings apply to all projects you open in StudioX.

The following settings are available:

• Save and Publish

  • Auto backup interval - Set a regular interval at which projects are automatically saved. This is useful for restoring the last saved copy of the workflow. The default value is set at 30,000 milliseconds. The minimum value is 10,000 milliseconds, while the maximum one is 9,999,999 ms.
  • Publish project timeout - Set the timeout value for publishing projects. The default value is 30 seconds. The maximum timeout is 999,999 seconds, while the minimum one is 1 second.
  • Open Project Behavior - Select what tabs you want to be loaded when you open a project: No Tabs (the default selection), Keep Last Opened Tabs, or Open Main Entry Point.
  • Enforce Analyzer before Publish - Select this option to prohibit publishing projects with Workflow Analyzer errors.
  • Enforce Analyzer before Run - Select this option to prohibit running projects with Workflow Analyzer errors.
  • Analyze RPA XAML Files Only - Select this option to exclude XAML files with test cases from analysis when running the Workflow Analyzer for a project. If not selected, both RPA and test case XAML files are analyzed. This setting applies when the analyzer is triggered manually, as well as when it is enforced and triggered automatically before running a project and publishing test cases or a project.

• Execution

  • Output console size - Set the maximum number of lines that can be displayed in the Output panel in a single session. The default value is 2,000 lines. The maximum value is 9,999 lines, while the minimum one is 1 line.
