This course is a bit complex considering the number of variables saved for later use. It took me a while to grasp the idea behind the “Get Folder Info” activity. The documentation helped.
We move…
Interesting activity. I’d love to hear a better explanation of the “why” behind what we are doing as it relates to StudioX. As someone else commented, we are creating a lot of variables and I haven’t been able to wrap my head around why and when we need to use them. I can follow the example and thank goodness for the solution, but am missing some of the “why” we are doing what we are doing which will allow me to operate solo going forward. I was good up until this module but this one is not clear yet. I’m hoping I’ll gain more clarity as I move on. A separate solution video that breaks down the solution and steps explaining why we are doing what we are doing would be very helpful as I’m definitely more of an audio / visual learner.
Got stuck a couple of times. Going through the resources helps a lot. Managed to complete but still not clear why I had to create some of the “save for later use” variables.
At first, I ran into an issue where, even though I used Browse For Folder during automation, automation failed/errored out with message that it could not find specified folder. I realized I had accidentally used InputFolderInfo variable in the In folder field of For Each File in Folder. Fixed it, and the automation was successful regardless of which folder I browsed to. Successful automation - woot!
This was a great practice to show how UiPath makes it easy to add versioning numbers to documents in a folder and to the folder itself. An excellent way to ensure that everyone is working with the most up-to-date version. The RobotPath took me step by step through creating the robot.
I had a hard time with this one. I got the problem partially solved but then I used the solution to find out what I was doing wrong. The more I work through these problems, the more sense everything makes. You can see me uploaded image.
One of the odd things is the folder naming. In the lesson solutions, there is a “>” but when I enter the path a dot “.” is used.
I had same issue. I tried to use previous invoices but then gave up and just downloaded new ones to new folder. Also had problems with renaming folder, note that it is outside of the “for the each file”.
I’m getting this same issue. I’ve tried creating ew folders and re-uploading the invoices multiple times, but keep getting the same errors. No idea what the problem is…
Successful automation - woot!
