Create & Edit Process

The process editing page consists of five main sections. The content in sections 1,4, and 5 can be collapsed to increase the operation space.

Section 1: Left Side Bar

• You can edit the process name, notes, and group. The default name of the process is RPA_{current timestamp}
• Clicking "+" or dragging the block to the canvas.
• Related functions will be introduced later.

Section 2: Upper Left Function Zone 

Search

Search the operation to quickly locate it. The operation being searched will be highlighted.

Undo/Redo

undo or redo your last operation, with a maximum 100 steps.

Auto-align

Auto-alignment is implemented using the Dagre algorithm, supporting the three default Dagre layouts plus an additional top-to-bottom sequential layout. Tapping repeatedly cycles through the available layouts.

Group

You can use "Group" to put several actions in one block for better management.

long-press the hand icon to move the operation into the group

The group can be ungrouped.

You can also debug, delete operations, copy, and set error handling for this group. 

If you don't want to group the operation yourself, you can try the One-click grouping to automatically group consecutive steps. 

• If no operation is selected, clicking the grouping button will automatically group three or more consecutive single-entry/single-exit operations(Excluding start, if, loop, and operations containing error handling) 
• If three or more operations are selected, and the selected operations consist of only single-entry/single-exit operations, clicking this button will automatically place them into a group, disregarding connection rules.

Import/Export

Supports converting exported JSON data from old RPA processes into RPA Plus process data.
Supports importing process by files or JSON

Section 3: Canvas

The canvas area consists of operation blocks, lines, the canvas itself, and the map in the lower-right corner.

Operation block

Based on the differences in input and output numbers, we have a total of six distinct node shapes. 

Operation block features

Features	Description	Apply to
Debug/Stop debug	Start the debug from this block. Notes: If a variable from a preceding process node is used in a subsequent process node, that variable will not be accessible (except for global variables).	All operations
Delete	Delete the operation block   You can also select this block and use "del" to delete it	All operations except the "Start process."
Copy	Copy the block   You can also select the block and use "Ctrl/Cmd+C" and "Ctrl/Cmd+V" to copy and paste the block	All operations except the "Start process."
Error handling	Same as the Error handling above	All operations except the "Start process."

Colors of the blocks

The blocks usually will display in three colors.

1. Blue: Means the block is selected or activated. Once selected, you can see the edit page beside. Only one block can be activated at a time. 

2. Orage: The block is searched

3. Red: Usually means the content needs to be filled in or is filled in incorrectly.
