I am working on a attended bot. I need to provide some status to user what happening in the bacground. How can I do this.

Hi @praveenj6699,

Log messages, message boxes, emails. It depends upon the information you are trying to send to the user.

You,

Log messages is good, if you want to write the logs in a text file you can do that too.
Message Box - Only at crucial times, need to intimate business that they have click ok once bot is running if they forget the bot would be stuck there.

Thanks.

Message boxes can be set with an auto-close, which is pretty handy if you’re running off one screen and can’t see logs.

Yep, just checked Message box has an autoCloseTimer which can be set, good to know.

Thanks.

Thanks, But i want to show the data continuously to the user as we see in logs. Auto closure message boxes or callout messages will be disturbing to the attended user which are continuously flashing. Is there any way by using a single form and continuously displaying the status there

If the user has a second screen, they can have Orchestrator open and view the logs either on the job that is running, or the logs of the robot. Would this work in your case?

I agree that this would be a good feature. I have created a user-input form for an attended bot. When form submitted, the screen (PiP) is blank. Would be nice to have a status indicator on screen while this is happening. Like a simple msg box with no buttons that said rpa running…

Use UiPath Forms, open a form with just a text box on it, and update the value of the text box as you go (Update Form Values)

Thank you, I will try that. Appreciate the help.
