Configure the process graph for sending automation ideas

Introduction

If UiPath Process Mining is set up for integration with UiPath Automation Hub the Process Graph must be configured to enable end-users to submit ideas for process improvements that are subject for automation directly from the Process Graph to UiPath Automation Hub.

Important:

The fields used for sending automation ideas to UiPath Automation Hub are in the UiPath Automation Hub default assessment questions. In the Automation Hub Detailed Assessment the default questions are customizable and if these questions are modified, en-users will see different fields in the Send to Automation Hub dialog. Please note that in this case Sending Automation Ideas may not work properly and end-users may encounter error messages. Refer to the Automation Hub documentation for more information. See Customizing the Detailed Assessment.

Attributes

Below is an overview of the attributes that are used to calculate the automation potential and the benefits in UiPath Automation Hub. For Mandatory fields, ensure they are not NULL.

AttributeDescriptionMandatory
Processing timeThe amount of time a person is actually working for an event. See Process Graphs.Yes
Event costThe manual costs of executing an event.No
UserThe users involved in the process.Yes
Note:

Be aware that the processing time is not the same as throughput time. It is strongly recommended to use the Event processing time attribute from your dataset for the Processing time as this reflects the time that is actually worked on the event without taking into account any waiting time. This will led to a more valuable calculation of how much time can be saved with automation. See Adding Automation Estimates and Output tables of the Basic Connector for more information.

Important:

To enable end-users to send ideas for automation from AppOne to UiPath Automation Hub:

  • the values of Manual processing time and User should be filled in, and cannot be equal to 0.
  • the value of Manual event cost can be equal to 0, which implies that it is an optional field.
