Project Explorer properties
The property grid on the Project Explorer can show two types of information: basic
properties for each component that the project contains, and project-level properties for
deployment, Pega Platform integration, references, and runtime
messages. To switch between the two types of properties shown in the Project Explorer: For component-level properties, the properties grid shows high-level information specific
to that component, as in the following figure: These component-level properties include the type of project item and a description that
you can edit to provide documentation for other developers, so that they can better
understand your project components. The following figure shows the project-level properties that are available in the Project
Explorer: The following table describes each section of the project-level properties and its
use: Use deployment properties to create easily identifiable and consistently labeled
versions of your project. Automatically increment version numbers to deploy more quickly and
to accurately track versions. When you deploy a project, Robot Studio creates a deployment
package file, with the format Use the Pega Platform integration properties to shorten daily
startup time for your project users, by specifying options for using Assisted
Sign-on (ASO) and Start my day services with Pega Platform. ASO uses your Windows sign-on to enable a single sign-on.
Start my day launches the applications that Robot Runtime or Agile Desktop users run
every day. The following table describes each ASO and Start my day option and its use: ASO reduces the amount of time required to sign into the applications that
Robot Runtime users work with every day. With Start my day properties, you can specify
activities that a Pega Robot Runtime or Agile Desktop user sees when launching Runtime or
Agile Desktop. This list can include non-Pega programs and URLs, as well as
Pega Robot Studio solutions. Users can prioritize the order
in which applications are launched using the Manage Applications dialog. In addition, each Robot Runtime or Agile Desktop user can add to and remove from the
list of processes to be started by Robot Runtime or Agile Desktop . The items on the list are specific to
the user. Shorten development time by making use of existing references that are required for
your C# scripts. The Current tab shows the references that are already used in the Project.
You can also add references from: Create message definitions to give users important information during Robot Runtime sessions, or to send or record information in applications
or logs. You use Runtime message definitions to define the messages that are used by the
Message Manifest service. The Message Manifest controls and stores messages, so that
you can standardize the format and presentation of project messaging. The messages
that you create are used throughout the project and can be exported to other
projects. Message Manifest service methods read from the Message
definitions list, and you can display these messages to users, write
them to applications or logs, and use them in many other ways. For example, enter Process Complete, as shown in the
following figure:Project-level properties
Section Description Deployment Use to create and track versions of your project, so you can
identify the solutions that you create. Pega Platform integration Use to integrate Pega Platform with Assisted
Sign-On (ASO) and Start my day services, so that you can sign on to
and launch the applications that your Pega Platform users work in every day. Project references Use to add references required by C# scripts, so that you can add
functionality to your solutions from .NET, Pega, and public
assemblies. Runtime message definitions Use to add messages to the Message Manifest service. Messages can
be displayed to users, written to logs or applications, or shared
with other projects. Defining project versions with deployment properties
