Project Actions

The Project group holds actions that structure the scenario itself rather than drive the robot.

note

Section and Comment moved here from Flow, and Import Scenario from Import. Input Form is new.

Section

Groups related actions under a collapsible header. Pinned action.

Sections are the main tool for keeping a long scenario readable: collapse the parts you are not working on, and run a single section on its own while developing.

The Commands tree with several named sections, one expanded and the others collapsed

ParameterDescription
Section nameLabel shown on the collapsed group.

Comment

Inserts a note for yourself or your colleagues. Has no effect on execution.

The Comment form with a multi-line note

In the Commands tree the note renders as its own row, with the text truncated to the width of the panel:

The saved comment shown as a row in the Commands tree

ParameterDescription
CommentFree-form text.
tip

Comment the why, not the what — the action list already says what happens. "This dialog only appears on the first login of the day" is worth writing down; "clicks OK" is not.

Input Form

Pauses the run and asks the person at the keyboard for values, which are then available as variables. Use it for the inputs that cannot be known in advance — a date range, a customer number, a one-off file path.

The Input Form action with three rows in Input Values, each a variable name plus its type

At runtime the operator gets a dialog with one row per value, pre-labelled with the variable name and its type, and fills in the Value column before pressing Submit:

The Input Form dialog the operator sees at runtime, with a value typed into each row

ParameterDescription
Input ValuesThe fields to ask for. Each row is a variable name plus its type — string, integer, float, boolean or a file path.
Require All ValuesWhen on (default), the action fails if the operator leaves every field empty. (Advanced options)
warning

Input Form blocks the run until somebody answers it. A scheduled, unattended scenario will sit there until it times out — keep interactive forms out of anything the Orchestrator runs, or gate them with Enabled (Test) so they only appear while you are developing.

Import Scenario

Imports actions from another scenario file into this one — the way to reuse a login sequence or a shared cleanup routine across projects.

The Import Scenario form with a .json scenario path selected

ParameterDescription
Scenario File PathPath to the .json scenario file to import.
