Question

Can a robot task show in the dashboard have a dynamic name which based upon the parameters passed to the specific instance of the task

Hi,

I want to easily identify which robot task is running using the RPA console dashboard.

The robot task runs a report for a customer.

The robot task is parameter driven by process model variables that define which customer and which report the robot task should run.

The process model calls the robot task multiple times passing a customer and a report parameter as each customer can have multiple reports.

The issue is to see the customer and report parameters incorporated into the robot task name on the dashboard to aid progress tracking and any diagnosis without getting into execution logs, in much the same way that a process model can have a dynamic name that shows in the monitoring tab.

Thanks

    Hi,

    In Appian RPA, robot task names on the dashboard can't dynamically change based on runtime parameters. For tracking, you can use detailed logging within the task or create a custom Appian report or dashboard to display task parameters and statuses. Consider storing execution data in Appian for a custom view, or use descriptions if runtime updates are supported. For direct dashboard capabilities, you might need to suggest this as a feature request to Appian.

    Calling the robot task using an integration object allows the description field of the integration to be used.

    The description field is expression based therefore both report and customer parameters can be displayed in the dashboard.

This allows us to investigate any bot by referencing its execution ID. You can either provide the execution ID or utilize it for identification purposes.
