Robotic Process Flow Diagram

Inspiration

Robotic Process Flow Diagram

The main use of this reusable custom activity is build the dynamic process flow diagrams with icons to see the current process flow with the color coding for 3 status: NotYetStarted, InProress, Completed.

What it does

RPFD will update html every time when you use this activity in your robot, it changes the status, tool tip, creates the stage diagram.

Status: NotYetStarted- it will display gray bordered box in HTML for the current stage InProgress - it will display green bordered box in HTML for the current stage Completed- it will display full green box for that stage in HTML

it uses Dictionary Object IDictionary Key - Stage Name Value - font awesome icon name OR image files sorted in root directory (it will support .JPG, .BMP, . JPEG, .PNG..)

How I built it

I Created This Custom Activity in C#.Net Class lib, it will take inputs form the properties and changes the HTML dynamically , and this RPFD.HTML file automatically refresh itself

Challenges I ran into

i worked with big process with lot of stages , if we run the robot from remotely , we can not see GUI with beautiful icons or images with current stage with tool tip , thats why i build it any one can use it , its very interesting
we can access remotely we can deploy in IIS it will take root folder name as RobotName

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Completing the project and successfully testing the integrations real-time and experiencing the power of Robotic Process Flow Diagram Activity

What I learned

i learned a lot while developing this

1. Custom Activity Properties with Drop Down List (Using Enum)
2. Get InArguments / OutArguments
3. Interacting with HTML JQuery, CSS to change dynamic Code

What's next for Robotic Process Flow Diagram

in next , it will have TAT Calculations , it will show history of process with date & time each stage wise time calculation & display in Flow Diagram
