Creating a New Task

To manually create a new task in Console Plus and send it directly to the queue, follow these steps:

1. Go to Tasks.

2. Click +New Task.

   

3. Enter task name and priority (lowest, 1 - 9, highest).

   • The task will be identified by its name in Console Plus, so you should give it a name you can recognize.

   • Task priority determines the priority of task execution by the Robots in the intended assigned queue.

   

4. Select a wizard to run.

   The Catalog is created in Studio and contains published wizards available for your robot workforce to use.

   If you want the wizard to begin with specified values for certain variables each time it runs:

   1. Click Wizard variables (advanced) to expand the section below.

      

   2. Enter the name of the variable for which you would like to set a starting value.

      The name entered here must exactly match the name of a variable in the selected wizard (it's not case-sensitive).

   3. Enter the starting value for the variable.

   4. If you wish to set the value for another variable, click the + button to add a row.

      To delete a variable/value you have already set, click Delete.

5. Assign a task to a Queue.

   

6. Set the Notifications (optional) if you want the system to send out notifications by email when task-related events occur. Notifications are sent from the email configured on the Notification Settings page. Make sure to specify the email address/es to which you'd like notifications to be sent.

   

7. Available alert notifications:

   • Task delayed

   • Task ended

   • Task skipped

   • Task started

   • Task stopped, paused, or resumed

   • Wizard error

8. Click Add to queue.
