Fallback Commands
There are a number of commands available to handle each fallback event:
-
Raise error: An error message appears on the wizard bar. Not applicable to sensors or embedded wizard steps
-
End step: The step ends and the wizard continues with its When step ends event
-
Go to step: The wizard goes to a specific step in the flow. Not applicable to embedded wizard steps
-
Remove all blocks: Dismisses all blocks and cancels their functionality for that run of the wizard or sensor
-
Keyboard shortcut: The wizard types a keyboard combination entered by the RPA developer (e.g.,
ALT+P) -
Advanced commands: The wizard triggers a predefined set of advanced commands. When the advanced commands are completed, the wizard flow continues in the order determined by the RPA developer
-
End wizard successfully: The robot exits the wizard. If the wizard is an embedded wizard (that is, a wizard inserted as a building block into the flow of the current wizard), the flow continues with the containing wizard’s success scenario as defined by the RPA developer.
-
End wizard unsuccessfully: The robot exits the wizard. If the wizard is an embedded wizard (that is, a wizard inserted as a building block into the flow of the current wizard), the flow continues with the containing wizard’s failure scenario as defined by the RPA developer
-
Fail sensor: The sensor ends and is and activated again based on recurrence settings, date settings, and whether a predefined visual object is detected. If a visual object is detected, the sensor is re-launched when the object is detected. Not applicable to wizards.
In addition to backing up failed scenarios, fallbacks can be used to create more complex wizards, which are capable of performing more than just linear procedures. You can use fallbacks to create alternative paths for the wizard flow, which are activated according to what the user chooses to do.
