Course Introduction and Set-up

Description

We will introduce the main concepts of the course and set up the necessary software. By the end of this class you will have configured your first automation.

Preparation

• There is no need to prepare in advance of class, we will begin our automation journey together in class!

Class plan

• I will go over the key areas in the syllabus and course structure.
• We will have an interactive exercise to start thinking about automation opportunities in various business processes, including tasks that you undertook in your internships.
• We will undertake some course software set-up requirements together in class, including software (this quarter we are less reliant on the remote labs).
• We will undertake a short lab exercise to set-up UiPath Studio Cloud to catch and address any possible issues with the software.
• We will use UIPath Maestro to set-up a BPMN diagram that will serve as a guide to set the stage for automating future processes.
