Last modified by DatPT on 2023/04/12 16:57

Every activity in akaBot Studio is belongs to a certain Activities Package. They can be understood as library dependencies which are required to use the desired activities. Here are the default Activities Packages:

  • RPA.Activities.Core
  • RPA.Activities.NativeBrowser
  • RPA.Activities.Excel
  • RPA.Activities.Windows

With the pre-installed packages, we can use a certain number of activities related to Window application, Web browser or Excel. But if we want to automate process related to,  for example PDF or Email, new packages need to be added; or if the packages are no longer in needed, we may need to remove them. The next steps explain how to add more packages and customize the list of activities:

Step 1: Open akaBot Studio and create a new Process.

Step 2: Verify the existing activities packages by clicking the Package Manager button located in the top ribbon.
