To create a microbot, you need to right-click on a building block and select Extract Workflow. In the save-dialog, the user can select a folder and choose if the microbot should be created locally or globally (meaning locally as well as in the repository).

To create a microbot:

  1. Right-click on a building block or an activity and then click Extract Workflow.
    The Extract workflow dialog box is displayed.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To save the microbot locally within the project, select Local.
    • To store the microbot centrally in the repository, select Global.
  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the microbot.
  4. In the left pane, select the folder where you want to save the microbot.
    Note: We recommend selecting a BuildingBlocks folder.
  5. Click Okay.
    The Variable Management dialog box is displayed. In the Parent Workflow list, the main robot is selected. The Variables pane below lists all the variables of the parent workflow. In the Child Workflow list, the microbot you just created is selected. The Mapping pane lists all variables mapped by RPA Designer that the microbot needs to access.
  6. Optional. Add arguments and make additional variable available to the microbot.
    Note: The default mapping usually works fine.
  7. Click Okay.
    The microbot is listed in the Solution Explorer.
