HELLO WORLD

As of now, you've learned some basics of RPA & UI Studio. Now, It's a time to create your first program (Obviously "HELLO WORLD") in UI Studio as below.

Creating a New Sample Project:

Here I’m displaying HELLO WORLD along with User Input with Flow Chart workflow

1)       Open UI Path studio

2)       On the Start tab, under the New section, click Blank. The New Project window is displayed.

3)       Enter NAME for the Project (say HELLOWORLD) & Select Project Location and Click on CREATE button. New Project (Main.xaml) is created in Chosen Location.

4)       Add/Drag and Drop any workflow/activity (like Flowchart) from Activities Panel

5)       Add Input Dialog activity

6)       Connect Input Dialog activity to Start node by selecting ‘Set as Start Node’   in Right Click menu of the Input activity

7)    On the Design tab, select Create Variable > Text to create a string variable which is used to store user’s name (name)

8)    On the Properties panel, under the Input section, add a Label for the activity, such as "Type your name," and a Title, such as "Hello, world!."

9)   Under the Output section, in the Result field, add the variable created at step 6

10)     Add a Message Box activity to the Designer panel and connect it to the existing Input Dialog activity.

11)    Make sure that the Message Box activity is selected. The Properties panel is updated accordingly.

12)    Under the Input section, add a Caption such as "Hello," and in the Text field add a string and the previously created variable, such as “Hello” + name.

13)     The Project  should be looks like below

14)     Run/Execute (F5) the project from Designer tab. “Hello World” pop-up asks the User for input

15)       Enter User input, then OK. Result will be displayed as 

From above steps, you've successfully created your first program in UI Studio.

Note:
From above Sample HELLO WORLD program, we can conclude that

·         There is NO VALIDATION for user input.

·         If user gives blank, the Pop-up will accept it

It's like a flaw in the Project, To avoid such flaws, we need to implement Flow Decision / Conditions. So that UI Studio validates user input before processing.
