How to create a UiPath Orchestrator process to run robots
In UiPath, a robot is a component that is capable of performing RPA tasks. The RPA tasks themselves are written as standalone programs developed in UiPath Studio. When the robot capable or performing a task is brought together with the program that describes how to perform that task, the combination is known as a process. A UiPath process is what’s needed to get a robot to perform work.

How to create a UiPath Orchestrator process
With a UiPath application already published as a package, and an unattended robot already configured, the creation of a UiPath process is a relatively straight forward affair. Simply follow the following steps to create a UiPath process:
- Click on the Processes link under the Automations section of the UiPath Orchestrator administrative console
- Click on the plus button on the top right hand corner of the screen to create a UiPath Orchestrator process
- Select the name of the package representing the application for the process to run
- Provide a display name for the UiPath process
- Choose the Environment in which the process will run
- Set a Job priority
- Supply any required input or output parameters
- Click Create

How to run a robot as a UiPath process
To run the UiPath Orchestrator process you just created, simply click the play button next to its listing in the Processes window. A window will appear asking which robot will host the process.
