I use orchestrator which folders. Is there a possibilty to create an asset which will be inheritet by all folders?
Maybe you have assets which should be accessible for all robots im all folders.
Hi
i didnt get this buddy
kindly elaborate a bit more on this pls
Cheers @Stephu
Hmm
It’s not about just giving solution buddy
Many people across the globe will be referring this thread
So we need to come up clearly while discussing the resolution
That’s why 
Cheers @Stephu
is there a solution or not?
Fine
The value that can be assigned to an asset differs according to whether the asset is created in a classic or modern folder. An asset created in a modern folder is assigned only a global value, applicable for all robots in that folder. In a classic folder, an asset can have either or both of the following value types:
- Global Value - the default value received by every robot, unless a specific value is assigned to a robot.
- Value Per Robot - a value received only by the specified robot. If Global Value is disabled, at least one robot value must be provided.
Cheers @Stephu
This is actually an important question I’ve been wondering about as well. Doesn’t seem like it was understood here.
Let’s say we create 3 different modern folders:
Finance
Operations
Client Services
We know that each of these modern folders will have their own private, siloed asset collection.
Let’s say all 3 of those teams use the same “workflow” website to handle tasks, and we want to capture the url of that workflow website in an asset.
The question is… does EACH FOLDER need to create a redundant asset for that website, or is there any way to create the asset ONCE in some kind of umbrella (parent) folder above them all, and have those 3 folders be able to “inherit” that 1 asset from the parent?
It seems to me that NOT being able to have some kind of inheritance or “cascading” assets has the potential to cause some data (asset) repetition from folder to folder.
This should be answered.
Things like credentials for SQL databases shouldn’t have to be applied to each and every folder. A robot should be able to access this from a single folder.
If we have a folder called finance for instance, and there are multiple projects under finance, we should be able to inherit the sql credentials for each project from the finance folder. I have things set up this way, but credentials do not seem to cascade.
Hi, I have the same question. This is especially important in larger deployments with many folders. Did you get a resolution from UiPath on this?
We have few truly global (i.e. same value for each robot and each folder) assets and I will need to replicate the same asset in many folders. Seems like an inefficient way.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Robert
Hello, I have the same issue.
For example, I want to create a report for the last 1,7,30 days. My solution accepts an asset parameter “Days_To_Include_Report”. I would like to just edit that parameter without modifying any other asset or using another folder/package
Has this been answered?
Yes there is a solution to this.
You are able to create a single Asset in a folder e.g. “Shared” and the link it to other folders.
It can be found here: Linking an Asset to Multiple Folders.
This tidbit certainly limits the usefulness of that asset-sharing implementation. It’s possible to share/link the Url for a website across different/inherited/cascaded modern folders, but not the credentials for that site if each bot machine (i.e. attended user) is expected to use its own credentials for that site:
“You can only share assets with global values and no specific value per user. You cannot share assets with values per user between folders.”
This is impotant to me too, as I have login credentials for two parent folders - production and test - but have user specific details for sub-folders. My only option seems to be to have each user-specific credential saved as a separate global assets (eg Finance-Production, Operation-Production) and link these to sub-folders. It means that a log in process must pass the user as an in argument, rather than working it out from the user (the finance user gets the finance asset). It seems to me that if sub-folders inherit users, then they should also inherit assets.
Hi @Palaniyappan, @Stephu,
Very interesting topic here, if I understand this correctly, we are able to create 1 extra (Modern) Folder and make all robots member of this folder. (maybe through a group or multiple groups)
Every process, asset etc. in this folder will be available for all robots, correct?
I found this post:
Inherit processes in folder structure (modern folder) - Help / Orchestrator - UiPath Community Forum
Thanks,
Robert
