How to divide a robot into different sequence and call back

Hello Guys

I would like to ask how can I create different sequences in a robot, and call the specific sequence that I want

Hi @CHAN_Hiu_Fung_Victor_Stud

Yes it’s possible by using flow charts, You can use flow decision activity to check the condition based on condition you can connect the different workflows where you want.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @CHAN_Hiu_Fung_Victor_Stud

To call a sequence from another sequence or workflow, use the “Invoke Workflow File” activity.

In the “FileName” property of the “Invoke Workflow File” activity, provide the path to the workflow file (.xaml) containing the sequence you want to call.

Use control flow activities like “If”, “While”, “Do While”, etc., to manage the flow of execution between different sequences.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@CHAN_Hiu_Fung_Victor_Stud,

Dividing a robot into different sequences and calling them back is a common practice in UiPath development to organize and modularize your automation projects. Here’s how you can achieve this:

  1. Create Sequences: Break down your automation process into smaller, reusable sequences. Each sequence should represent a specific task or a logical unit of work within your automation.
  2. Define Input and Output Arguments: If your sequences require inputs or need to return outputs, define input and output arguments for each sequence. This allows you to pass data between sequences.
  3. Call Sequences: Use the “Invoke Workflow File” activity to call the sequences from your main workflow. This activity allows you to execute other XAML files (sequences) within your project.
  4. Pass Data Between Sequences: If needed, pass data between sequences using arguments. Input arguments can be passed when invoking a sequence, and output arguments can be retrieved after the sequence execution.
  5. Handle Exceptions: Ensure that you handle exceptions gracefully within each sequence. You can use try-catch blocks or use the “Try Catch” activity to handle exceptions at the sequence level.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to dividing a robot into different sequences and calling them back:

  1. Create Sequences:
  • Open UiPath Studio.
  • Create a new Sequence by clicking on “File” → “New” → “Sequence”.
  • Define the activities required to perform a specific task within this sequence.
  1. Define Input and Output Arguments:
  • Click on the “Arguments” panel at the bottom of the screen.
  • Define input and output arguments if needed.
  1. Invoke Sequences:
  • In your main workflow, use the “Invoke Workflow File” activity.
  • Specify the path to the XAML file of the sequence you want to invoke.
  • Pass input arguments if required.
  1. Pass Data Between Sequences:
  • In the “Invoke Workflow File” activity, you can pass input arguments by specifying their values.
  • Use output arguments to retrieve data from the invoked sequence after execution.
  1. Handle Exceptions:
  • Handle exceptions within each sequence using try-catch blocks or the “Try Catch” activity.
  • Consider logging errors or exceptions for better debugging and error handling.
