When you hover over a UiPath activity in the ‘Activities’ pane a small tool tip appears, giving some additional information about the activity. A screen capture illustrating this is below:
This tool tip isn’t available for our custom activities that we’ve created as workflows in a UiPath library project. A screen capture illustrating this is below:
Does anyone know if it is possible to include some metadata or other information for workflows in our library projects that will display as a tool tip like this? It would help in providing some additional context about our reusable activities.
It is solved now, in 2019.4 (Right click your Library activity and choose “Properties” to make description.
However, it is still not possible to make tooltips for all the parameters / arguments used by the custom activity.
Thanks, loginerror! But I think it’s still not doable, since the update only added a Toolltip to the Activity and not the arguments that are passed to (or from) that activity (example below). Since I am now creating custom activities for my own Framework, I would also like this feature.
Is it possible to move this to a user-submitted idea?
Just tried it! Annotated arguments in the library project, then published the library. Checked the custom activities it created in a new project, and the annotations did not show as a tooltip when hovering over the arguments’ names in the Properties pane.
Ah… I’m supposed to be on Enterprise Edition, but somehow managed to activate an Enterprise License with a Community Edition version… I prefer to work with the latest UiPath innovations, so I’m afraid to try to upgrade and lose my Enterprise-Community Edition (lol).
Why does Enterprise Edition have to be a year behind Community Edition all the time
Thanks, man! This looks promising. I will give it a shot. I mostly just want to be able to use the latest Community Edition in an enterprise environment (Enterprise Orchestrator). When I had spoken to UiPath Support last month, they were confused as to how I could have a version 2019.7 of “Enterprise Edition”. I explained to them that I activated our Enterprise License on a Community Edition, after explaining we just want the latest offerings as soon as they’re released.
