## Adding a Remote Robot

To add a remote Robot, click the button  in the main interface of Sherpa Assistant and select the required software robot file in .robot format.

## Automatic Sequential Launch of Robots on Program Startup

To enable the automatic sequential launch of Robots when the program starts, Sherpa Assistant must be launched simultaneously with the computer's startup. To do this, in the settings, on the first tab, activate the "Startup program with Windows" option.

The order of launching multiple sequential Processes in the startup is determined by sorting them by name. Therefore, to organize a sequential launch, it is recommended to name the Processes for launching Robots with indices, for example:

* “1 robot”;
* “2 robot”.

The Processes will be executed in the selected order, providing convenient and flexible management:

Processes for launching Robots can be renamed directly in the folders:

`c:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Sherpa RPA Data\MyRobots\`

> For the auto-start to work correctly, you need to go to the "Settings - Sherpa Assistant" window, switch to the "Main" tab, and check the "Auto-start program from Windows" checkbox:

After that, it is enough to check the checkboxes for auto-start in the desired order, and the Processes will be executed one after another.
