Create a New bot

After logging to Automation anywhere account through cloud community edition link,

You will see a Dashboard as shown in below image and you can create a new bot through the highlighted button ‘create a bot’-

Bot Configuration

After clicking on that button, you will get a popup window. It will ask some information about bot which you want to create like-

• Name of bot
• Description of bot
• Folder location of bot

But here I want to add something related third option ‘Folder location of bot’. If you click on ‘Choose’ option to select the path and then click on ‘browse’ option in next window

Then you will get only default location like ‘Bots’ folder on root, but if you go to ‘Dashbaord ‘ and click on ‘Automation’ link on left panel then you can create a subfolder to store your bots separately.

You will get a popup window where you can fill subfolder name like I gave ‘CSharpConer’ and description (if you want). You can also choose the location where you want to create subfolder as Bots is a root folder over here.

After clicking on ‘create folder’ button, you can see ‘CSharpCorner’ subfolder under ‘Bots’ root folder.

So your subfolder is created now but you need to create a bot to save in ‘CSharpCorner’ folder to verify it. Through below option you can create a new bot(Create new->Bot).

After clicking on that button, Bot Configuration section will repeat as mentioned earlier in this article. You can fill name, description and path for new bot but here you can browse your newly created ‘CSharpCorner’ folder and click on choose.

You can see selected folder ‘CSharpCorner’ in path which exists in ‘Bots’ root folder

And after click on ‘Create & Edit’, bot will be created on selected location as you see in below image.
