I created an automation with UiPath Studiox and published it to Orchestrator. Using the UiPath Assistant I was able to execute the project in PiP, however when I scheduled an execution by Orchestrator the project execution was not in PiP. How do I make a project scheduled in Orchestrator run in PiP?
Pip is meant only for attended automations…you cannot start an automation from orchestrator in pip
So from assistant only pip is possible
Hope this clears your question
Cheers
Yes, I agree with @Anil_G . That is the purpose of PiP. Triggers from Orchestrator are meant for Unattended automations.

I understood. Could you tell me how I could make a project run at a specific time, but in a way that doesn’t interrupt my current activity on the machine?
So, The only way for that is if you create a background process that doesn’t interact with UI elements. Let’s say your automation uses only Excel and Outlook for instance. You wouldn’t actually need to open them up in order to work with them. In that case, you could run the automation and still use your computer.
For foreground automations it’s more complicated. It’s still possible, but there’s lots of variables you need to check. I would recommend you to check things like Simulate Click and Simulate Type. That helps to your purpose. But there’s no silver bullet, you have to assess each case.
Something that can be done, is actually create a virtual desktop (VDI) and put your automations to run there. It’s not expensive and solves a lot of issues.
Thank you for your help
