App Sight

When using robots, you have the option to deploy them in App Sight mode. This is useful if you have a business dashboard connected to the database.

Enabling App Sight mode:

  • Allows robots to capture only the metadata of each action and not the images.

  • Prevents the data from being processed and going through the algorithm services.

    • Doesn’t add any load on the system.

  • Disables the use of Discovery and doesn't allow it to be added to the Process Library or Recorded Sessions.

  • Gets metadata required to build business dashboards.

  • Uses the same robots as any other, however, they are configured to a different mode with one small change.

To set up App Sight mode in Process Discovery:

  1. Configure an App Sight robot

  2. Create an App Sight Team

  3. Assign App Sight Robot to an App Sight Team

Assign App Sight Robot to an App Sight Team

For the robot to capture only metadata, assign it to an already created App Sight Team, modify an existing team, or create a new one.

To assign the App Sight Robot to the App Sight Team, see Assign a Robot to a Team.

If you did not configure the robot and you selected App Sight on the Add New Team, any images that come in will not be analyzed. This should not be done without a configured robot.
