# Processes

**Processes** are automation scenarios that are executed by Robots. For each Process, multiple versions can be saved. At any given time, only one version of the Process is current. This means that this version of the Process is used when assigning a new Job to a Robot (manually, via schedules, or through the API).

The "Processes" screen contains two tables: "Processes" and "Process Versions".

To display a list of versions of a Process in the "Process Versions" table, select the desired Process from the "Processes" list. By default, one of the versions is current. It is displayed in the "Current Version" column of the "Processes" table. In the "Process Versions" table, the current version is highlighted in blue when the Process is selected in the "Processes" table.

The "Processes" table includes the following information:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="177"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Column Name</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Name</td><td>Contains the name of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>May include information about the Process that provides insight into its purpose and functionality.</td></tr><tr><td>Current Version</td><td>Indicates the current version of the Process installed in the system.</td></tr><tr><td>Last Run</td><td>Date and time of the last execution of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>Link to Last Job</td><td>A hyperlink leading to the results or logs of the last execution of this Process. Allows Users to quickly access information about the last execution and results of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>Access Folder</td><td>Indicates the Access Folder to which the Process belongs. The Access Folder serves as a means of access control, allowing only those Users whose Roles provide access to interact with the Processes.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The "Process Versions" table includes the following information:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="173"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Name</td><td>Contains the name of each version of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>Contains additional information about the version of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>Created</td><td>Date and time of the creation of the Process.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Each column can be [pinned, resized, or filtered](https://docs.sherparpa.ru/en/sherpa-rpa/sherpa-orchestrator/rabochaya-oblast-orkestratora#deistviya-s-dannymi-tablic-ekranov-orkestratora) by clicking on the icon ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdS-qNCnN3dnV5mz0slBVIcnsMlkxShXLumZS9vjad9dUE6awGpbQ435MoOEPokzRUj8Ot0il1Mkg7LcJJKW1FkTlLlxQd-27r5pNt26sJXRWGJOLikid22aLyA_4FTG0VWAf9y0w?key=eWNQZq3sYvlcr9Q6QN6EMQi9).

You can also sort the rows of the table in ascending/descending order based on the values in the selected column by clicking on the empty area of the corresponding header. This allows for quick and convenient organization of data in the desired order.

## **Creating a New Process**

To create a new Process in the "Processes" table, you need to click the "Create" button and fill out the opened form:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="58"></th><th width="210"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>#</strong></td><td><strong>Interface Element</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>1.</td><td>Text field "Name"</td><td>Name of the Process. This field is mandatory.</td></tr><tr><td>2.</td><td>Text field "Run on Sherpa RPA Runtime version no lower than"</td><td>Allows you to specify the version number of Sherpa RPA Runtime below which the Process will not run.</td></tr><tr><td>3.</td><td>Text field "Description"</td><td>Description of the Process.</td></tr><tr><td>4.</td><td>Text field "Access Folder"</td><td>Allows you to specify the Access Folder for the created Process.</td></tr><tr><td>5.</td><td>Checkbox "Available through Sherpa Assistant"</td><td>Allows the created Process to be available in the list of scenarios in Sherpa Assistant.</td></tr></tbody></table>

To save the created Process, after filling out the form, you need to click the "OK" button. The newly created item - Process will appear in the list. The newly created Process has no versions.

## **Creating a New Version of a Process**

To create a new version of a Process, you need to select the Process in the "Processes" table for which a new version will be created. If the Process is not selected, the Orchestrator will show a warning message:

In the "Process Versions" table, you need to click the "Create" button and fill in the fields in the opened form, also selecting the Process file:

<figure><img src="https://3237142148-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FscP4BXwl9ufpJr5mfVln%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d8ed8336eadfaa49557a3d8b2fdaf81fd156fda2%2F%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5%20(298).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="58"></th><th width="206"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>#</strong></td><td><strong>Interface Element</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>1.</td><td>Text field "Name"</td><td><p>Name of the Process. This field is mandatory.</p><p>Note: By default, the "Name" field is filled with the name of the Process, the current date, and the time of the version creation. These can be changed to the relevant name.</p></td></tr><tr><td>2.</td><td>Text field "Description"</td><td>Description of the version of the Process. In this field, you can specify, for example, changes in the new version.</td></tr><tr><td>3.</td><td>Button "Select Process File"</td><td>Select the Process file (with the .robot extension). Without a file, the version will not be saved.</td></tr></tbody></table>

When you click the "Select Process File" button, a window will open on your computer to select the Process file. Multiple versions can be created for each Process.

## Editing a Previously Created Process

To view and edit the properties of a specific Process, you need to select it from the list and click the button ![](https://3237142148-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FscP4BXwl9ufpJr5mfVln%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-690447737878822a051c1768d4d44828fa21d624%2F2025-03-19_21-36-15.png?alt=media). After that, a form with the settings of the selected Process will open, where you can make the necessary changes. In addition to the fields filled out when creating the Process, the form will display the GUID (unique identifier assigned to the Process after its creation). This field cannot be edited.

Creating a new version of the Process can also be done from the Designer, as described [here](https://docs.sherparpa.ru/en/sherpa-rpa/sherpa-orchestrator/rabota-v-sherpa-orchestrator/nachalo-raboty-v-sherpa-orchestrator/sozdanie-novogo-processa-scenariya-v-orkestratore/sozdanie-novoi-versii-processa-v-sherpa-designer).*.*
