Storage#

One of the important components in the automation ecosystem is the Storage, which can be considered analogous to popular cloud services: File Bucket or Google Drive. The Storage provides Users and Robots the ability to securely and conveniently save arbitrary files of various sizes and access them.

The "Storage" screen consists of two tables: "Folders" and "Files".

The Storage does not support a multi-level folder structure. The entire structure is two-level: a group of files and files.

"Folders" Table#

The "Folders" table includes the following information:

Column Name	Description
Name	Contains the name for the folder.
Description	May include information about the contents of the folder.
Access Folder	Points to the Access Folder to which the folder belongs. The Access Folder serves as a means of access control, allowing only those Users whose Roles provide access to interact with the folder. Thus, the Access Folder not only controls who can see and manage the Robot Group but also ensures data security by creating a clear structure of User rights.

Data about each folder in this table can be edited by clicking the checkbox on the left in the desired row, clicking the icon and modifying the fields in the popup form.

Each folder can also be deleted from the Storage by clicking the checkbox on the left in the desired row and then clicking the icon , if deletion is confirmed in the popup window:

Above the "Folders" table are buttons described in the following table:

Button Name	Description
Create	Initiates the process of creating a new folder. When clicked, a form opens where the User can fill in the required fields.
Refresh	Used to refresh the list of folders on the screen.
Delete Selected	Deletes the selected folders from the system. When the button is clicked, a confirmation dialog appears.
Import from CSV	Allows the User to import folder data from a CSV file.
Export to CSV	Allows the User to export data about existing folders to a CSV file.

"Files" Table#

The "Files" table includes the following information:

Column Name	Description
Name	Contains the name for the file.
Description	May include information about the contents of the file.
Created	Date and time the file was created. This field cannot be edited.
Modified	Date and time the file was last modified. This field cannot be edited.

Data about each file in this table can be edited by clicking the checkbox on the left in the desired row, clicking the icon and modifying the fields in the popup form.

Each file can also be deleted from the Storage by clicking the checkbox on the left in the desired row and then clicking the icon , if deletion is confirmed in the popup window:

If you click the icon (“View”), an online tool will open to view files (formats PDF, TXT, DOCX, XLSX) and familiarize yourself with their contents. For example,

If the “View” icon is light gray , the file cannot be opened for online viewing.

Above the "Files" table are buttons described in the following table:

Button Name	Description
Create	Initiates the process of creating a new file. When clicked, a form opens where the User can fill in the required fields.
Refresh	Used to refresh the list of files on the screen.
Download	Used to download the selected files from the list. When clicked, a popup warning appears: and the file is downloaded to the User's personal computer.
Delete Selected	Deletes the selected files from the system. When the button is clicked, a confirmation dialog appears.

Next, in the "Files" table, you need to click the "Create" button and fill in the fields in the opened form:

The form contains two tabs: "Main" and "File URL".

The "Main" tab contains the following fields:

Below is the "Select File" button, which allows you to add a file from the selected directory in the Storage via the popup window.

Without a selected file, the entry in the "Files" table will not be saved.
