For every user who uses the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Application, It's critical to know where all the components

related to a process automation are being stored and can be accessed.

For this purpose,Automation Anywhere provides you with features panel, bots.

This is centralized location where all the bots, workflows, reports and documents are located.

form of credentials.

As an admin, you can use the bots module of the control room to perform certain actions such as:

The Bot module consists of two components. These include My Bots and Credentials.

My bot page lists down all the bot files and folders uploaded from automation anywhere enterprise client

on the control room.

Whereas, the credentials page consists of list of credentials created by a user.

My Bot page is divided into the two areas, Folders, Files and Folders.

are displayed in the files and folders area based on Roles and Permissions you have.

The content displayed include:
