Check Internet Explorer settings

Configure WorkFusion Studio

Before you start WorkFusion Studio, link it to PRA package.

  1. Go to WorkFusion Studio installation directory and open the configuration folder.
  2. Open config.ini and add the workfusion.rpa.package.path property that defines the path to the RPA package, e.g.: workfusion.rpa.package.path=c:/RPA
note

The default path to the RPA package is C:/RPA. If you selected another directory, make sure to specify it correctly.

Check installation

To check that the environment is set up as expected, either run RPA configs or samples from Examples Library in WorkFusion Studio. If configuration is done properly, a browser or a desktop application opens, and the script works as expected.

Run RPA configs from WorkFusion Studio

As soon as you configure RPA environment, you can test it by executing RPA scripts from our bot-samples.zip package in WorkFusion Studio.

  1. Start WorkFusion Studio and create a new WorkFusion Project.
  2. Create a new bot task configuration and paste the code from one of the example package files.
  3. Click the Run button and make sure the bot task config execution is succeeded.

Run samples from Examples Library

You can also check WorkFusion Studio performance by running samples from Examples Library.

  1. Start WorkFusion Studio.
  2. Go to Help > Welcome to WorkFusion Studio and select any example to run, for example, Dates translation.
  3. Click the Play recording button.

Check Worker logs

As soon as your RPA script is executed, view the WorkFusion Studio Console where successful actions and errors are displayed.

Errors could be caused by:

  • incorrect RPA script (window selector or timeout)
  • desktop application failure, etc.

In most cases, you need to close the console and open the appropriate batch file again, or modify the script code.
