Every automation project needs to adhere to the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule defines how all of the components within a process should be structured.

Scope activities define a specific arena in which the robot performs its actions. The Golden Rule can be divided into the following steps:

  1. Application: Open the required application or browser. For more information, see the Open Application and Open Browser chapters in the Hyland RPA Activities documentation.
  2. Window: Attach the selected window with a given title. This ensures that the actions are performed in the correct window. For more information, see Attach Window in the Hyland RPA Activities documentation.
  3. Activity: Performs the selected actions in the selected window.
Note: Though a process can be technically functional when the Golden Rule is not followed, configuring a process without the Golden Rule can lead to unexpected results or consequences, such as clicking the Save button in the wrong window.
