This repository contains a seamless RPA workflow developed with **Classic Design in UiPath Studio** that is capable of transferring data from a spreadsheet onto dynamic form fields on the screen. The RPA challenge, [_**Input Forms**_](https://www.rpachallenge.com/), requires us to create a workflow that will input data from an Excel spreadsheet into a set of forms where the fields will dynamically change position on the screen after every submission of a form. To successfully complete the challenge, it's essential that all the data is accurately entered into the correct fields, and the automation process should be optimized for maximum speed. My solution in this repository flawlessly conquered the challenge, achieving an impeccable 100% accuracy in a mere 16,173 milliseconds.



_You can view how **my RPA solution** tackles the challenge in the **demo video** below_:

## **Challenge Instructions**



* The goal of this challenge is to create a workflow that will input data from a spreadsheet into the form fields on the screen.

* Beware! **The fields will change position on the screen after every submission** throughout 10 rounds thus the workflow must correctly identify where each spreadsheet record must be typed every time.

* The actual countdown of the challenge will begin once you click the "Start" button until then you may submit the form as many times as you wish without receiving penalties.







## **Installation**



Before installing **UiPath Softwares**, please make sure your system meets the hardware and software requirements outlined in the **[UiPath documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2022.10/user-guide/hardware-and-software-requirements)**.



The **Uipath Platform** includes the following tools:



- **UiPath Studio**

- **UiPath Assistant**

- **UiPath Automation Cloud, including UiPath Orchestrator**



  

 To run this project successfully, please follow these steps to install UiPath Studio:



***



Step 1 : Visit [uipath.com](https://www.uipath.com/) and click **Try UiPath Free** button.








Step 2: **Sign up** for a personal account.





  



Step 3: **Verify** your account in email.





  



Step 4: **Log into** the **UiPath Automation Cloud** using your account, and click the **Download Uipath Studio** button.





   



Step 5: Click **Sign in**.





    



Step 6: Select **UiPath Studio Pro**.





  



Step 7: Follow the system instructions to complete the installation of **UiPath Studio Pro**.





 



 



  

 Please also follow these steps below to connect your local machine to the UiPath Automation Cloud for deploying this workflow (if desired):



***



Step 1: Sign up and log into [UiPath Automation Cloud](https://cloud.uipath.com/).



Step 2: Add a **Tenant**.








Step 3: **Edit** the user and assign the **Automation Users** role to grant them permission to execute processes.










Step 4: Go to the **Orchestrator** interface and click on **Tenant** in the left pane.










Choose **Folders** and then click the **+** icon to create a new folder.










Step 5: Navigate back to **Tenant** interface and follow the steps below to start adding an Automation User for Unattended Robot in **Manage Access**.








a) Scroll down to locate the target user, then assign the **Automation User** role to grant them the necessary permissions. Click **Next** button to move on to the next page.   










b)  In the *Personal automations setup* page, select the options to **Enable user to run automations** and **Create a personal workspace for this user and enable optimal Studio Web experience**, then click on the **Next** button.








c) On the *Unattended setup* page, check the option to **Enable this user to run unattended automations**, choose **Specific Windows credentials** for local machine connection to Orchestrator, provide **Domain\Username** of your user account on local machine (which can be found by executing `whoami` in Command Prompt), and enter the **Password** for accessing your local machine. Finally, click on the **Update** button.










Step 6: Now, go to the **Machines** page where you should see the workspace machine for the target user already created. Click the ellipsis to select **Edit Machine**.








Enter **1** for both the *Production (Unattended)* and *Testing* fields, then click the **Update** button.








Step 7: Now return to the newly created folder, choose the **Machines** menu, and click **Manage Machines in Folder** button to assign the machine you just configured to the folder.












You should now have both the **User** and **Machine** assigned to the new folder.








Step 8: Open **UiPath Assistant** and click **Sign In**. If you see the **green circle** in the top right corner, you’ve successfully connected your local *UiPath Studio* to the *UiPath Automation Cloud*.







You can confirm the connection by opening UiPath Studio and checking for a green circle at the bottom.








***



To **publish a process** from UiPath Studio to Orchestrator, **switch to the new folder** you just created in the Orchestrator, and then click to **Publish the process** as a package.








To learn more about other best practices on Orchestrator, please refer to the [Orchestrator User Guide](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/introduction).



 







## **Usage**



To run the RPA workflow on your local machine, follow these steps:



1. Either **download** this repository to your local machine or **clone** it directly within your UiPath Studio.

2. Open the **UiPath Studio** software on your machine.

3. Locate and **open** the **Main.xaml** file from the downloaded repository in **UiPath Studio**.
