Hi all, I’m new to UiPath, still getting used to it. I’m finding it painful how activities are arranged vertically in sequence in the main workspace. I have a wide screen, so I don’t fit many activities in, and there is so much wasted white space.
It feels inferior compared to another drag and drop tool I use a lot, Knime. The nodes in Knime are small and encouraged to be arranged horizontally, which makes the most of screen space.
If you want to do it what you have did in the knime tool. You have to use the flowcharts instead of using sequence. Then you can set the nodes and activities based on your requirement and interest.
Check the below image where I have used the flowchart and build the code,
Note: In UiPath we use the sequence or flowchart based on the our requirement. If the process is linear and small then we can use sequence.
If the Process have different logics, nested connections and large process then we use the Flowcharts.
thanks, that helps. I’ve known the flow charts were there but have been too scared to try them. plus the script i’m writing is super linear, hence why i didn’t bother yet. Does that affect your answer?
also, I appreciate the prompt response! on the knime forums i used to wait a day or two
In UiPath, the default layout for arranging activities is vertical, which can indeed be less efficient for wide screens. Unfortunately, UiPath Studio does not provide a direct option to change the layout to horizontal.
Split large workflows into smaller, more manageable sub-workflows. This way, each workflow can fit more comfortably on your screen.
Use Invoke Workflow activities to call smaller workflows from your main workflow. This keeps the main workflow clean and manageable
