The Developer Bots are provided to perform the following actions in the developer’s desktop:

  1. For familiarization of any application using the Floating window of UI Learn
  2. To execute the tasks from design canvas (Trial Run).

The Start, Stop, and Delete icons that are provided against each Bot are in disabled state for Developer Bots.

Developer Bots can be differentiated from Execution Bots as they are indicated with a JIFFY.ai icon.

  • Bot Name: The Developer Bot name is the same as the Jiffy Username who is executing the task.
  • Action buttons: The Start/Stop, Delete, and Edit icons will be in disabled state under the Actions column present in the Execution Bots dashboard. This means that the user is not allowed to start/stop, delete or modify the developer Bots from the Execution Bots dashboard.
  • Status: The Status of the Developer Bots have the following values:
    • At Rest: The Bot and the Windows services are started but no tasks are currently being executed.
    • Running: The Bot and the Windows services are started. Tasks associated with the Bot are getting executed.

Client Version Upgrade

The Upgrade version button provided near the version details in the Execution Bots dashboard is always disabled by default as the upgrade must be performed only by using the Check for updates option from the Bot Manager menu. The Bot will not start until the version numbers of both client and the server matches. 

The client machine must be restarted after the client version upgrade is completed.
