Activate a Robot

After you finish building a robot, activate it. You must activate a robot to be able to test and run it.

You can have only one major version of a robot active at any given time. For instance, if version 1.0.0 is currently active, you can't make version 1.0.1 or version 1.1 active. However, you can make version 2.0 active.

Before you activate a robot, you must associate the robot with an environment pool. See Specify Where a Robot Runs.

1. Open a project.
   1. In the navigation pane, select Projects.
   2. Select the project name.
2. In the left toolbar, select Robot .
3. In the Robots box, ensure that the robot's state is Configured.

   

4. In the Robots box, point to the Configured robot, select , and select Activate.

   A Confirmation pop-up appears, and the state changes to Activation in progress.

   

5. Navigate to another area of the application, and then return to the project to check the robot's state.

   Within a minute or two, the robot's state changes to Active.

   

Next, you can test the robot in its environment. See Test a Robot on Its Environment.
