How to use Appian RPA Module

Question

Hi, I'm trying to import com.novayre.jidoka.outlook.api to use Outlook Module. In Appian documentation there is a page dedicated ( https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.1/rpa/modules/ms-outlook-module.html but I don't understand how to import this library on my robot java class. If I type import c om.novayre.jidoka.outlook.api , java not recognize it. How can I use this and other classes of javadoc? Second question: I need to include this dependency in pom.xml com.novayre.jidoka.module jidoka-msoutlook-api ${jidoka.version} Where I can find ${jidoka.version}? The Appian docs site says that I can find the version number in the pom.xml in this node: X.Y.Z but in the pom.xml that is generated by Appian console there aren't the node . Thanks, I hope the questions to these answers will also help other early developers like me.

The problem is that the initialization of the outlook class is done outside of a method. 
 Please declare only the variable : 
 IJidokaOutlook outlook; 
 And initialize outlook in the startUp() method: 
 outlook = IJidokaOutlook.getInstance(this); 
 When the startUo() method is executed, the robot (the this parameter) is already correctly initialized.

Your pom.xml file should have a reference to the parent file like this: com.novayre.jidoka.robot jidoka-robot-parent 7.0.0 It is in this parent file, where the property is declared. 7.0.0 Therefore, if you have a defined the parent file, you should be able to include dependency com.novayre.jidoka.module jidoka-msoutlook-api ${jidoka.version} without problems. Only after include the dependency, your should be able to use the package com.novayre.jidoka.outlook.api. Do you have a problem compiling the project?
