When the mouse hovers over the "..." icon of the Group, you can see five operations: run, edit, continuous run, run Settings and delete.

If "run" is selected, it is a single run.

Clone

Each Process and Group can separately set whether to enable Clone operation in "operation Settings". The Process of Clone running is started, and it runs in the Clone of the Current Windows desktop.

Clone has the following characteristics:

  1. The operation of the separated operation window and the user's original desktop window are independent of each other. During Clone operation, the user can normally operate the application of the original desktop.

  2. During Clone operation, you can see the real-time picture of Process operation through the Clone operation window.

  3. When running in Clone, users can choose whether to control or set the top. If you choose control, you can operate in the Clone desktop with the mouse.

When a Process or Group starts Clone operation, click "run" or "continuous operation", and a desktop window of Clone operation will open. Before operation, you need to log in to the Current Windows account. Users can also add a local Windows account in Settings in advance. In this way, Clone operation can automatically log in with the local Windows account set in Settings. If there is no Settings, the local account Settings will pop up, As shown in the following figure.

After entering the password of the windows user, you can run the specified Process in the windows desktop of the Clone.

  1. When Clone is running, if you don't log in in in time, you will receive a prompt "login Clone desktop Timeout, please continue to log in". Click "OK" to re-enter the Windows account login interface.

  2. In the window of Clone, when the "control" is in the blue style, it means that the desktop content can be operated and controlled by the mouse; Clicking "control" again will switch to the state of "no control", that is, it is impossible to click and operate the contents of the Clone window, which can avoid misoperation.

  1. Similarly, when "top" is in the blue style, it means that the window running in Clone is always on top. Otherwise, it means that it is not set to the top and can be covered by other windows.

  2. If the Process is still running, you will receive a prompt: "do you want to close the Clone window? There is a Process running in the current Clone window, and closing it will cause the Process in Clone to fail". Please select "yes" or "no" as needed. On the contrary, if the Process has finished running, you can close it directly without receiving a prompt.

  3. When running in Clone, if the prompt "Process robot service connection failed, please restart the Laiye Automation Platform service service in the windows service manager and restart the Process robot". Please call out the Task manager through "ctrl+alt+delete" and find "LaiyeAutomationCESvc_ 6.0.0" in the Task manager service, right click and select restart.
