When you install and configure the Pega Robotic Automation Importer component, and then configure a data page with Robotic Desktop Automation as the source, you are prompted with a list of the automations that are available in your application. This functionality boosts productivity and simplifies configuration, because you do not have to manually enter the names of automations.

Before you begin

Download the Importer component from Pega Exchange.

Uploading the Importer component to a Pega application in a development environment:

1. In the header of Dev Studio, click the name of your application, and then click Definition.
2. Click Manage components.
3. Click Install new.
4. Select the Importer component from your local disk.
5. Check the Enabled box, and then click OK.

Result: The component is displayed in the list of application components.

The Pega Robotic Automation Importer is now attached to your application. As a result, your application translates automation package metadata into Robot Connector rules. For more information, see About Connect Robot rules.
