Libraries
The Libraries tab in the AutomatR Orchestrator application serves as a centralized hub for managing automation libraries. Automation libraries are reusable components or packages containing pre-built activities, workflows, and assets that can be used across multiple automation projects. This section allows users to organize, view, and manage the libraries available in the Orchestrator. Here's a detailed explanation of the sections and options available in the Libraries tab:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Name | The Display Name column presents user-friendly names or identifiers for each library. The display names help users quickly recognize the purpose and functionality of each library, making it easier to identify the relevant ones for their automation projects. |
| Name | The Name column displays the technical names or unique identifiers of each library. These names are used internally within the system for references and interactions. While users may primarily use display names, technical names are crucial for system operations and integrations. |
| Versions | The Versions column provides information about the different versions available for each library. Libraries may undergo updates or improvements over time, resulting in various versions being available. Users can access and use specific versions that align with the requirements of their automation projects. |
The Libraries tab in the AutomatR Orchestrator application empowers users to effectively manage and utilize automation libraries. By providing clear display names, technical names, and version information, users can identify and select the appropriate libraries for their automation projects. The option to edit library details allows for customization, while the delete option ensures libraries are kept up-to-date and relevant. The search, clear search, and refresh table options enhance usability, making library management a seamless experience for automation developers and administrators. Overall, the Libraries tab streamlines automation development by enabling users to access a wide array of reusable components and functionalities, ultimately improving productivity and efficiency.
Add Library
Here's a brief step-by-step procedure to add a Library in an AutomatR Orchestrator application:
Log in to the AutomatR Orchestrator application with appropriate credentials.
Once logged in, navigate to the Libraries section or tab where you can manage and create new libraries.
Look for an Add Library button or a similar option to initiate the process of creating a new library.
Click on the Add button to proceed with adding a new library.
In the Add Library form, you will find fields for Display Name and Name. Enter the relevant information in these fields as follows:
- Display Name: Provide a user-friendly and descriptive name for the library. This name will help users quickly recognize the purpose and functionality of the library.
- Name: Enter a unique identifier or technical name for the library. The name should adhere to any naming conventions specified by the system.
Before proceeding, review the entered details in the Add Library form to ensure accuracy and completeness. Verify that the Display Name and Name accurately represent the intended library.
After confirming that the library details are correct, click on the Add button to create the new library. The AutomatR Orchestrator will process the request and add the library to the library repository.
Once the library is successfully added, a confirmation message will appear, indicating that the library has been added to the AutomatR Orchestrator. The new library will now be visible in the list of available libraries in the Libraries tab.
You have now successfully added a new library in the AutomatR Orchestrator application by entering the Display Name and Name fields and clicking the Add button. Depending on the configuration and permissions, you may have additional options available for further customization and management of the library, such as adding versions or editing library details.
Update Library
The Actions column in the Library table provides options to interact with individual library and allows you to modify the library's details or settings of a specific library, such as library display name and description.
In the Actions column associated with the library, click on the Edit option.
Upon clicking Edit, a form will appear displaying the selected library information.
Enter the necessary details for updating the library:
Display Name: Update the display name of the library.
Name: Update the name of the library.
Double-check the information you entered for accuracy, ensuring that the library display name and name are correct.
Once you are satisfied with the library details, click on the Update button to finalize the updation of the library.
Upon successful addition, you will receive a confirmation message or notification stating that the library is updated. Navigate back to the library tab and review the table to ensure that the updated library appears with the display name and name you provided.
Delete Library
The Actions column in the Libraries tab provides options to interact with individual library, the Delete option from the Actions column of Libraries table allows you to remove the library from the AutomatR Orchestrator. Use this action for permanently removing the library from Orchestrator or when it is no longer required in your automation infrastructure.
Upload a new version of library
Here's a brief step-by-step procedure for uploading a new version of library in an AutomatR Orchestrator application:
Log in to the AutomatR Orchestrator application with appropriate credentials.
Once logged in, navigate to the Libraries section or tab where you can view the list of available libraries.
Choose a library which you want to update and click on the respective version link under the Version column. This action will open a new window dedicated to managing versions.
In the Upload New form, you will find fields for uploading a file and selecting a version option.
In the window that opens, you will find a file upload option, allowing you to select the file that contains the new version of the library.
A file explorer or dialog box will appear, allowing you to navigate to the location where the new version file is stored on your local system. Select the file and click the Open button to initiate the upload process.
Click on the Upload button to proceed with the file upload process.
Locate the library for which you want to upload a new version from the list displayed in the Libraries table. The Versions column will show various versions of the library and the uploaded date will be displayed under Uploaded On column each represented as a link or clickable element.
After selecting the new version file, the AutomatR Orchestrator will start the upload process. Wait for the upload to complete.
Once the new version is successfully uploaded, review the version details displayed in the window. Verify that the version information is accurate and represents the intended changes or updates.
Click the Upload button to finalize the addition of the new version to the library. The AutomatR Orchestrator will update the library with the new version, making it available for use in automation projects.
Upon successful completion, a confirmation message will appear, indicating that the new version has been added to the library. The new version will now be visible in the Versions column of the library.
You have now successfully uploaded a new version of the library in the AutomatR Orchestrator application. The new version is available for users to use in their automation projects, offering improved functionalities or fixes from the previous versions.
