Mini-Cases in Automation: Part 2

Description

In this class, we will continue working on mini-cases in automation, focusing on more advanced techniques and real-world applications. We will also discuss topic areas suitable for the final project, and discuss how team formation will proceed In this class we will undertake more open-ended approaches to implementing automation workflows. This will allow us to make decisions about what step in the process is the logical next step.

Review

In the prior class, we worked on configuring workflows with the logical steps completed, but without all the activities fully configured.

Preparation

• In class on Monday, we worked through two solutions to automation workflows. For this class, you should have completed these workflows as you best you can and should be prepared to discuss any roadblocks you encountered.
• At the beginning of class, please make sure that you have the UiPath browser extension install, or be prepared to install it today for Case 2

Class plan

• After a brief review, we will discuss the first two cases from Monday's class and undertake a short Q&A relating to these cases.
• We will next discuss the final project and team formation around pairs and topic interest. I will provide the high-level overview for each potential topic area of interest.
• Next, everyone will fill out a required deliverable that is structured as a form, identifying their ranked interest in topic areas for the final project, and indicating any preferences for working with another individual.
• Finally, we will work through two additional mini-cases as a class, and these cases will be more open-ended than the prior cases, allowing for more creativity in the design of the automation solution.
• Each individual will submit one or both of their solutions to canvas as part of professionalism.
• Case 1 uses the population scraping tool we configured in Monday's class as the starting file (conditional_loops), Case 2 will start with a blank workflow.
