The XL file “Config” is just a file for information or Uipath takes some information from it ?

It depends.
If uipath workflow is programmed to read data from the file it will.
Otherwise no.
It is simple, find Read activity in the workflow.

yes but in this example, i am referring to uipath Academy exercises

@Soudios to make use of config file is totally depend on you . You can read the config file and make dict and use it in ur workflow . Else if not avoid use of it . Please specify the exercise you want to know abt it .

It’s about assignement 1

@Soudios, Instead of hardcoding values you can use Config file. It will store the values in Key-Value pair. Suppose the Email ID / Folder Path you have to change in Near Future. Then you can Add that in config file for Assigned Key. So you don’t need to change the Values from Uipath xaml.

Cheers.

so how it works? i need to use read range or In_Config ?

Config file is just a typical excel file.
ReFramework is reading file to datatable and then adding keys and values to dictionary based on columns. That is all.
Please do UiPath Academy.

@Soudios, You need to pass config file path inside Argument. And for Reading the config file you need to use read range. Find attached file for your reference.
