The automation developer configures the automation in Pega Robotics Automation Studio with information about your application.
Provide the following information to the developer:
The class name of the case type or UI element that is running the automation. The Pega Robotics Studio developer configures the automation to use this class to retrieve a list of the relevant records that are configured on the case type.
The fields within a case type that contain the data that is passed between the automation and your Pega 7 application. These fields must be marked as relevant records.
For example, your application might contain fields that users can edit and whose values you want to send to the automation, which then sends the information to all the applications that are running on the desktop (for example, First name, Last name, and Email address). These fields must be marked as relevant records.
Fields that you add in Case Designer or Data Designer are automatically marked as relevant records. You can also add other fields (properties) that were created in Designer Studio in the Relevant records landing page. For more information, see Adding relevant records.
After the Pega Robotics Automation Studio developer specifies a class name, the automation retrieves the fields that are marked as relevant records, and the developer can select which of those fields are to be shared.
Note: You can share scalar data only between your Pega 7 application and an automation.
