So the update that leaves the automatic scheduler hasnt come out? When to leave would have to warn on this topic? Because I think a lot of people are waiting for this update.

Thanks

Have you uninstalled old version ?

@lakshman yes uninstalled old version and then installed the new version. Also one more thing want to mention here that i am not able to see that UIrobot in windows option. I went to this path to run the Uirobot.exe “AppData\Local\UiPath\app-19.12.0-beta0061\UiRobot.exe”.
I did twice uninstall and then installed still the same issue. When i checked the UIstudio it is app19.12.0 and also in that Uirobot path and went i ran there also UIrobot 19.12.0 only. But still the same issue. Please suggest

Is the option to not show the reminder and instead just have the bot run implemented yet? Wondering for both community and enterprise edition. (Not orchestrator just in the robot)

Hi, does the machine with Agent Desktop installed need license in order to start a job?
My use case is that business user will start the robot from his machine but the process itself will run in a back office robot (server).

My Thoughts on the Feature:

I feel it’s not scheduling, It’s just a reminder !. I was expecting it would behave like an unattended bot & start the process at the schduled time. But, thats not the case though. Robot will generate a reminder at the set time & the user has to click on the “Play” button for the process to start.

I strongly feel we should let the business users schedule processes attended robots. Customers who don’t have orchestrator will get increased value. Up until 2018.3.3 we could schedule processes on attended robots with task scheduler.

Regards,
Nithin

THIS!

This is the best purpose for the Agent Desktop. The current functionality is kinda useless. Attended robots are mostly run on demand anyways. Why not add automatic start? Uipath really wants their customers to be required to buy Orchestrator, so if they wont give us this feature why sell Orcestrator and robots separately at all?
