Design Time Robot Statuses

A robot's design time status progresses from Draft to Configured to Active. View the status in a project on the Design page.

Workflow

The following diagram illustrates the workflow that you follow to update a robot's status.

When you associate an error-free robot with an environment pool, the robot's status changes from Draft to Configured. When you activate a robot, its status changes from Configured to Active, and then the robot is ready to run

Description of the Statuses

Status	Description
Draft	A newly created robot has a status of Draft.
Configured	A robot's status changes to Configured after you complete the following tasks: Resolve any errors. See Fix a Robot's Errors. Associate the robot with an environment pool. See Specify Where a Robot Runs.
Activation in progress	After you activate a robot, it's status briefly changes to Activation in progress before becoming Active. You typically need to refresh the page to see the Active status.
Active	A robot that is active can be run, either on its own or by an integration. Tip: If you need to update an active robot, just deactivate it. Its status changes from Active to Configured.

Robots Instances Have Runtime Statuses

When you run a robot, a robot instance is created, and the robot instance has a status that indicates whether the robot was successful. For details, see Runtime Statuses of Robot Instances.
