Process Design Document – Calculate Client Security Hash 2

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of the document
The Process Design Document describes the business processes chosen for automation
using the UiPath Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology.

This document describes the sequence of steps performed as part of the process, as well as
the conditions and requirements prior to its automation. This design document serves as a
base documentation for developers to collect the details required for robotic automation of
the same business process.

1.2 Objectives
The process has been selected for RPA as part of the larger project initiative conducted within
ACME Systems Inc., the Finance and Accounting department.

The objective of this process automation is linked to the project business case and is mainly
intended to:

 Deliver faster processing

 Reduce redundant activities
 Improve overall performance and reliabilityB

1.3 Process key contacts

The Design Document includes a brief, but comprehensive set of requirements for the
process. Its structure is based on the input provided by the Subject Matter Expert (SME) in
the process.

Step Short Description

1.1 Open the ACME System 1 Web Application.

1.2 Log in to System 1. Required input data: email and password.

1.3 Access the Dashboard - the central location, where the user can pick a specific menu item.

1.4 Access the Work Items listing to view all the available tasks to be performed (Output data: Work Items).

1.5 For each activity of the WI5type,performthe following steps:

1.5.A Open the Details page of the selected activity to retrieve the Client Details.

1.5.B Open the SHA1generator webpage of your choice, for example https://codebeautify.org/sha1-hash-
generator, and provide the following input: ClientID ClientCountry. Replace all the variableswith the
correspondingvalues. Use dashes between e ach item and the above.

Based on the above criteria, the table below should reflect all the known exceptionsidentified
throughout the process and map the expected action the robot needs to take in each case.

Insert as many rows as requiredin the table, to capture all exceptionsin a comprehensivelist.

For any other unanticipated or unknown exceptions, the robot should send an email notification at
[email protected] with the original email and error message screenshot attached.

2.5 Error mapping and handling

A comprehensivel ist of all the errors, warnings, or notifications should be consolidated here with
the description and action to be taken by the Robot in each case.

The errors identifiedin the automation process can be classified according to the table below.
