RPA Associate Exam Learning Plan
2023/2024
RPA - ANSWER-technology that enables software 'robots' to carry out repetitive, rule-based digital tasks
RPA Robots Can... - ANSWER-Extract structured data from documents,
Log into and run applications,
Open emails and attachments,
Fill in forms,
Read and write to databases,
Make calculations,
Connect to other systems
Etc.
RPA primarily targets processes... - ANSWER-RPA primarily targets processes that are highly manual,
repetitive, rule-based, and have a low exception rate and a standard electronic readable input.
Digital Transformation - ANSWER-Digital transformation can be anything from IT infrastructure
modernization to optimization or new digital business models.
Native Integrations - ANSWER-
UiPath Robot - ANSWER-A software robot is an execution agent that runs automations built with the
Studio family and then published as packages either locally, or to Orchestrator.
UiPath Orchestrator - ANSWER-Orchestrator, the heart of automation management, is a web application
that allows managing, controlling, and monitoring the robots and the automations. With Orchestrator
we can deploy, trigger, measure, provision, track, and ensure the security of every robot in the
organization. Orchestrator also functions as a repository for libraries, reusable components, assets, and
processes used by robots or by developers.
,UiPath Assistant - ANSWER-UiPath Assistant is the component that provides a friendly interface to
interact with attended robots. It is the tool that we use to easily access, manage, and run automations.
Orchestrator Capabilities - ANSWER-Provisioning: Creates and maintains the connection with robots.
Control and license distribution: Enables the creation, assignment and maintenance of licenses, roles,
permissions, groups, and folder hierarchies.
Automation storage and distribution: Allows the controlled storage and distribution of automation
projects, assets, and credentials, as well as large files used in automations.
Running automation jobs in unattended mode: Enables the creation and distribution of automation jobs
in various ways, including through queues and triggers.
Monitoring: Allows monitoring of jobs and robots and stores logs for auditing and analytics.
Studio - ANSWER-The component of the UiPath RPA Platform for developing Robotic Process Automation
projects
Studio Family - ANSWER-The Studio family consists of three profiles available in the same application.
While no additional installation is needed, accessing the profiles depends on the license:
StudioX - the Citizen Developer profile
Studio - the RPA Developer profile
Studio Pro - the Advanced Developer profile, with access to testing capabilities, as well as C# support
The licenses are incremental, meaning that a Studio license will offer access to StudioX. All these licenses
typically include an attended robot and UiPath Assistant.
Robot - ANSWER-The Robot is UiPath's execution agent installed on a machine and enabling you to run
automation jobs based on processes developed in Studio.
,Attended Robot - ANSWER-A type of robot working on the same machines as the humans, during the
same hours. They are triggered directly by humans (usually through UiPath Assistant) or by an event
related to what the human user does.
Unattended Robot - ANSWER-A robot typically deployed on a separate machine than any human user.
Their jobs are triggered exclusively from Orchestrator.
Since robots do not exist as separate entities in Orchestrator, a more technical definition would position
unattended robots as execution slots - a user logged in on a machine, executing an automation job, as
instructed by Orchestrator.
Assistant - ANSWER-The interface between the human user and the attended robot. It allows the human
to trigger jobs, but also to organize processes, add reminders and so on.
Orchestrator - ANSWER-The component of the UiPath RPA Platform in charge of the management of
automations, users and robots, as well as the management of the assets used in development or in
running automations.
Automation Cloud - ANSWER-The cloud platform of UiPath, the single place for managing users and
services, such as cloud Orchestrator, cloud AI Fabric, cloud Data Service, and so on.
Automation Project - ANSWER-A business process or task automated with Studio family. Depending on
the complexity and development approach, an automation project may consist of one or several
workflows.
A workflow is a set of actions following a given logic set by the developer, having an input and an output.
Workflows are typically linked in the same automation project through input and output arguments.
Package - ANSWER-An automation project published as a NuGet package from the Studio family to
Orchestrator or locally.
Process - ANSWER-A package in Orchestrator linked to an Orchestrator folder where human users or
robots have access. If stored locally, packages can be used as processes when they are run by attended
robots.
, Job - ANSWER-A single execution of an automation process by an attended or unattended robot. If the
robots are connected to Orchestrator, both attended and unattended jobs appear there.
Which type of robot can you provision by using the sign in feature? - ANSWER-Attended robots
Which of the following statements about robots are false? - ANSWER-Attended robots cannot run
automation processes published to Orchestrator THIS ONE
Attended users can run automation jobs using UiPath Assistant
Unattended robots are typically deployed on separate machines
You can run jobs from Orchestrator both on attended and unattended robots THIS ONE
Automation First Mindset - ANSWER-In the Automation First Era, you need to constantly look at your
work and the processes in your company through the lens of automation potential. This is what we call
the Automation First mindset.
A robot for every person, open and free collaboration, robots learn skills
Business Process - ANSWER-A process is a set of interrelated or interacting activities that transforms
inputs into outputs.
Procedure Explains... - ANSWER-who is responsible for each part of the process
when each part of the process needs to occur
how to handle exceptions
the specifications applicable to each part of the process.
Automation Potential of a Project - ANSWER-Process fitness & automation complexity
Process Fitness: Rule based, repetitive process and/or automatable, standard input (easily readable),
stable (no changes expected in the next months)
