How to create a Floating Robot in UiPath Orchestrator

Question

Can anyone suggest how can I create a Floating Robot in UiPath Orchestrator?

Answer 1

Hello Rajan, to create a Floating Robot in UiPath Orchestrator you can follow these steps:

1. In Orchestrator, on the Robots page, click Add. The options to add a Standard Robot or a Floating Robot are displayed.
2. Click Floating Robot. The Create a New Floating Robot window is displayed.
3. In the Name field, type any name for the Robot. The Type field is read-only as Floating Robots can only be Attended. 
4. In the Domain\Username field, type the AD username that is used to login to the specified machine.
5. Add a description for the Robot. We recommend populating this field, especially when dealing with an environment with many robots.
6. Click Create. The Robot is now displayed in the Robots page and provisioned to Orchestrator, but it is offline.

These details are there in the UIPath documentation but the missing part is how to make that online. Standard robots are online by doing changes in UIpath robot settings. But here how what is the process for floating?

Thanks,
