Uattended
The Unattended menu is used to view and manage the "Unattended-Floating License" type of Automation Worker within the permissions of the current user.
Unattended-Automation Worker Grouping
Users can group Unattended Workers to unify control of permissions and schedule tasks based on group categories. Ungrouped Automation Workers are suitable for independently handling specific processes.
Grouped Automation Workers: Suitable for handling a set of similar processes. After being grouped, tasks and triggers can be assigned to a group of Automation Workers, and the system will schedule the currently idle Automation Worker within the group to execute tasks, thereby maximizing resource utilization.
Notes for Worker Grouping:
- After creating Automation Workers, you can move them into or out of groups. Note: Moving them into or out of groups will change their collaborators. Please update collaborator settings accordingly.
- If workers are deployed on different operating systems (e.g., Windows, Kylin, UnionTech), do not group workers from different systems together due to potential environmental differences that may affect process stability.
Unattended-Automation Worker
High-density deployment supports multiple Automation Workers under a single device. You can establish multiple local accounts on the device and bind Unattended Workers to these accounts. This is suitable for scenarios with limited device availability and aims to maximize device utilization. High-density desktop types include local desktop and remote desktop.
- Local Desktop: A real user desktop on the device, supports hardware calls such as USB keys on the device.
- Remote Desktop: A desktop launched through virtual services, does not support hardware calls.
Note: Only one local desktop is supported per device.
Query Unattended Workers
You can query Automation Workers by their status (online/offline), device name, Automation Worker name, or username.
- Online: Indicates that the Automation Worker is properly connected to Automation Commander.
- Offline: Indicates a connection issue between the Automation Worker and Automation Commander.
Task Acceptance
In the Automation Worker list, you can configure whether Automation Workers accept tasks. If task acceptance is disabled, the Automation Worker will no longer receive tasks dispatched by Automation Commander.
Create Unattended Worker
When creating a new Unattended Worker, you need to provide the following information:
- Name: The name of the worker for distinguishing between different workers.
- Bind Device: Select an existing device to bind.
- Desktop Type: Choose the desktop type for the Automation Worker. Each device supports only one local desktop. If a local desktop already exists, you will be prompted to select a remote desktop instead. Remote desktops support custom resolutions.
- Unlock Screen When Creating Worker: For local desktops, enabling this option unlocks the screen while creating the worker. You need to provide the account credentials for the device.
- Account: The account used by the worker must match the local account name on the device; otherwise, the worker cannot go online.
- Password: The login password for the account. Leave blank if the account does not have a password.
- Force Reclaim Login for Logged-in Account: If the account is already logged in (e.g., manually logged in or logged in via remote tools), the worker may not be able to log in. In this case, the Unattended Worker Control Panel will show the message "Account Already Logged In." If you check the option Force Reclaim Login for Logged-in Account, the worker will forcibly log out the existing connection to ensure proper connection. Note that enabling this option may cause other remote tools to be logged out, which can be resolved by logging in again via the remote tool.
After successful creation, check whether the Automation Worker is connected in the list. If the connection fails, ensure the account credentials match the local account on the device.
Note: The number of newly created Automation Workers cannot exceed the maximum number allowed per device, and each account/password can only connect to one Automation Worker.
Modify Unattended Worker
In the Unattended Worker list page, click the "Edit" button in the operation column to modify the worker's name and description in the pop-up dialog.
Click "Edit Attribute" under "More" in the operation column to modify the worker's bind device, desktop type, unlock screen setting, account, and password information. Depending on the worker's version, you may need to manually restart the worker after modifications to synchronize changes. Follow the prompts in the edit attributes interface.
After editing a worker's attributes, the updated information must be synchronized with the Automation Worker client. During synchronization, the corresponding worker in Automation Commander will display a "Pending Sync" status, which you can see in the worker list.
You can also filter for workers with a "Pending Sync" status from the top of the Unattended Worker list.
Unattended Worker Details
Click on a specific Unattended Worker from the list to view its details in a drawer interface. The details include the worker's basic information, logs, individual tasks, change history, and options for editing, adding collaborators, or deleting the worker.
Unattended Worker Information
View the basic information of the selected Unattended Worker, including its group, status, IP address, version, etc.
Logs
Access all logs under the Automation Worker to monitor its performance and operations.
Individual Tasks
Quickly view tasks related to your account under the Automation Worker. Click "Go to Individual Tasks" to see detailed task information in the Individual Tasks section.
Change History
Examine the change history of the Automation Worker, with support for filtering by time and operator. The change history records major modifications to the Automation Worker, including fields such as time, operator, IP address, module, and specific content. Modules and operation types are as follows:
| Module/Operation Type | Update | Enable | Disable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automation Worker Name | √ | - | - |
| Automation Worker Bind Device | - | - | - |
| Automation Worker Description | √ | - | - |
| Task Acceptance | √ | √ | √ |
| Version | √ | - | - |
| Permission Management | √ | - | - |
Edit/Edit Attributes
You can edit the information of the Automation Worker. Refer to the "Modify Unattended Worker" section for details.
Remote Control
Click the "" button to view the device's screen in real time. You can perform remote operations in the corresponding environment. Refer to the "Remote Control" section for details.
Add Collaborator
Collaborators control who can view and operate the worker (or group). In the list, select an Unattended Worker to manage permissions, then click "Add Collaborator" to add collaborators.
Collaborator permissions can include specific users as User or all members of a department node. When selecting a department, all members inherit the permissions, including newly added members.
| Role Name | Role Description |
|---|---|
| User | Can dispatch tasks to this Unattended Worker but cannot edit, manage, or view the worker details |
To remove collaborators, select existing collaborators and mark those to be removed.
Delete
An Automation Worker can only be deleted after enabling the "Stop Accepting Tasks" option. Additionally, the worker must not have any pending tasks or triggers associated with it for successful deletion.
