I have a question regarding the “Execution Type” in Orchestrator.
I scheduled a foreground automation using UiPath Studio Web, and it was successfully executed as expected. However, in Orchestrator, the Execution Type for that job was shown as “Personal Remote”.
I’m trying to understand what that means in this context.
Is “Personal Remote” a type of Serverless execution (i.e., running on UiPath’s Azure infrastructure)?
Or was it actually executed on my local PC via Assistant?
I don’t recall my PC being active or doing anything at that time, which makes me confused.
The process included UI interactions, so I was surprised it ran successfully without using an Unattended Robot or VM.
Could someone explain the exact behavior and flow of how “Personal Remote” jobs work—especially when triggered from Studio Web on a schedule?
If you see runtime type it says cloud serverless so it executed in cloud serverless robot and not on your pc
And execution type gives how the process ran again..it says personal remote..looks like you ran from your workspace hence personal and remote as it ran on cloud
“Personal Remote” means the job ran on your local machine using the UiPath Assistant connected to Orchestrator. It is not serverless or cloud-hosted.
Even if your PC seemed inactive, it could have been powered on and connected, allowing the job to run. Studio Web schedules can trigger attended automation on your machine via the Assistant, especially if it’s always running in the background.
If you found helpful please mark as a solution. Thanks
Happy Automation with UiPath
