Working with processes

PreviousWorking with projectsNextWorking with sequences

Last updated 2 years ago

A process is a robot operation scenario assembled from elements. The process type used is a sequence. A sequence is a process that has the form of a cascade algorithm formed from the elements that are executed sequentially.

To create a new sequence, select the folder where such a sequence will be created on the Project panel and click the "Create Process" button . In the appeared dialog it is necessary to specify the name of the sequence with the obligatory .ltw extension, the type (Sequence, Diagram or Only code) and the language (C#, Python или JavaScript).

Attention! Due to different approaches to data typization in C#, Python, and Javascript we do not recommend using different languages in the same project.

After clicking OK, the new sequence will be displayed on the Project panel

and will be opened in a new tab of the Main Workspace.

To open an existing sequence, double-click it on the Project panel and the sequence will be opened as a new bookmark in the Main Workspace.

To close a sequence, simply close its bookmark in the Main Workspace.

To search for project elements, you can use the Search menu of the Project panel.

To edit the sequence selected on the Project panel, click the "Edit" button of the Project panel . After clicking the button, the sequence editing dialog will appear on the screen.

To delete a sequence, select the necessary one on the Project panel and click the "Delete the Element" button . After clicking OK in the dialog box that appears, the sequence will be deleted.
