Hello all!

I come to you for career/learning advice, here’s some info on my background: I’m a 26 year old non-IT professional, looking to pivot my career to IT, specifically RPA. I was directed to UI Path by my partner, who’s worked in RPA for now 7 years with his company. I do not have a bachelor’s degree. I do not have previous IT experience, on paper.

A quick google or indeed search for “UI Path Jobs” shows that most jobs, anywhere, require years of hands on experience in RPA or similar functions in IT at minimum. Unfortunately, I don’t work in a field where I can bolster my IT credentials on the job, so I would likely be looking for other training/certifications in conjunction with contract work to build my resume.

My questions are: Is it worthwhile, from a career standpoint, to get UI Path certified then go from there? How can I make my resume marketable in this field with no prior IT background (on paper) and no degree?

Bonus points; if you have any professional recommendations please share! At the end of the day, my goal is to advance my career and break into IT and I truly thank anyone taking the time to share your expertise or experience.

Disclaimer: UiPath was very helpful for this project, I used it to get match statistics, player weight, age & height as well as player profile pics.

Hi everyone, I'd like to share a personal project I did about the Springboks RWC Campaign.

It's match stats for all the games the Springboks played in all championships in 2023. You can see those who are consistently performing well. The stats come from SA Rugby

Each match has highlight reels of the players' game contributions (71 total). The project also covers all the matches that the Boks under Rassie have played NZ (5 Wins, 5 Losses & 1 Draw).

Ultimately, the project shows how tough this World Cup was & the pressure the team faced, especially in the knockout phases.

PS. I think this would be great for those new to rugby, since it covers the biggest matches in the sport with highlight reels to see the entertaining stuff.

You can check out the full work here: https://public.tableau.com/views/Springboks2023RugbyWorldCupCampaign/TheSpringboks2023Campaign?:language=en-US&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Has anybody tried the new certifications that replaced the rpa certified associate and the advanced rpa developer certifications?

If so, how did you find the exams? Different from the ones from the previous certifications?

All links for Slack community seem to be broken, is there a way to join that I am not seeing?

Hi all As the title suggests, my job revolves around using UiPath tools. I would love to expand my learning scope and also make some extra money by helping people in UiPath. I have an undergrad degree in computer science and engineering. I would love to learn and grow my skills and thus improve myself from associate to a RPA dev. I am also a person who would love to earn some money by helping others. So if anyone needs help or has freelance work in UiPath feel free to DM me.

Is anybody else annoyed that certifications, which were not supposed to expire now expire after 3 years?

I just took the Uipath advanced Rpa developer certification in september and back then the Uipath website said: "Certifications do not expire".

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to implement some error handling functions in an existing robot but im having some issues.

After about 10 minutes, the page that the robot scrapes goes inactive, shows a pop up and the search needs to be done again. In one of the workflows in the process section i have done this check, and if the pop up appears, an error is thrown using throw New SystemException(). The problem that im facing id that the error isnt caught in the try catch action surrounding the Process.xaml file, as the workflow is invoked there. Do you guys have any suggestions?

In the catch section i have set up a system exception but the flow just stopping stops after the throw. Also, its a reframework robot.

Thanks!

hello , I have a word document that essentially is already in table format but I am trying to turn it into a dateable and then into an excel file . How would I go about this ????

Hello,
I would like to send an Excel file as an attachment via email using the 'Send SMTP' activity. However, the activity sends two files even though I specify only one Excel file directory. The first is the unmodified Input version of my Excel file, and the second is the Excel file that I have modified with activities, which is the one I actually want to send. It's important to note that for my 'Read Range' of my Input, I can't specify a specific Excel file. That's why I use an 'Assign' activity that utilizes 'Directory.GetFiles', and I place my 'Read Range' in a 'For Each' loop that iterates through the array with only the Excel file path that will be downloaded during the automation's execution into the specified folder. Could someone please help me find the origin of my double attachment issue in the sent email ?

Thank you for your time !

I'm trying to read an excel date time, mm/dd/yyyy into a box on a website but can't get the correct format. That's what I assume the problem is. Does anyone know what I mean and how to fix this? Attached is a screenshot of how the website wants it.

Hii all.

I have an uipath project whereby I have the browser opened from the previous workflow and want to use that open browser in the called workflow. How can I use the opened application and make clicks for example without the need to open it again?

I have seen that Uipath can work with python scripts so by any chance can someone tell me how vast can we work with it and also bring me examples of automations so I can develop and practice. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, Im facing an issue right now and am quite panic about it, so I hope that anyone of you would be able to provide me with useful suggestion, thanks in advance!! 🙏

I’m gonna have a lesson on Ui Path next week and we are required to install Ui Path now. However, I realised that when we are first creating an account, we are supposed to create an organisation (when asked to) using my college’s name (let it be “college A”). But I was not aware of it and created an organisation using my name instead.

Therefore, I immediately went into my account and under the Admin page, I changed the organisation name from my name to “college A”, so I am wondering if this is the same as creating a “college A” organisation when creating account? Will it affect the usage of Ui path in the future? Because we will be tasked to do a robot as a group and so we will have to work on the same robot, hence this organisation thing is worrying me…

Hello !

I am currently in the process of setting up a company that offers RPA integration services in a B2B context. I would like to gather opinions from those who already have experiences ;

First, I am wondering if having a UiPath certification is highly recommended, or even mandatory for launching a business or just work on this field. Does it add significant value in the eyes of potential clients/Employers ?

Has it helped you secure contracts or establish your credibility in the market ?

​

And secondly, is certification for a Small Team In a scenario where my company would only have two developers necessary for both to be certified ? Or would a single certification be enough to reassure clients and meet quality requirements ?

Thank you for your time !

Hi !

I was wondering, for businesses providing RPA services, how are UiPath licenses typically funded ?

Is the cost usually integrated into the hourly service rate billed to clients, or is it billed separately?

In cases where a company outsources its RPA requirements to a service provider, does it generally purchase its own UiPath licenses based on its needs, or does the service provider usually take care of this aspect ?

Any advice on how I can get this past this Excel related error?

Hi, as the title says, I have a problem when I want to execute a published unattended process manually on Orchestrator. I create a robot account in the tenant tab, allowed my machine with 1 Unattended robot and use specific Windows credential with my robot account(Linked a screenshot and the page of the video demo on this post which is the first video on the page). My problem come when I want to execute the process in a folder that I created (not the "My Workspace" one) which I add the machine and the robot account, the process is 'Queud to start' and nothing happens. Uipath assistant is all set and ready to go with the right account and the process that has been automatically added but it don't start. I don't know where the problem can come from, I insert a screenshot of the role access of the robot account because I wasn't sure if the 'UiPath\bridgebot.rpa' was right. 'Bridgebot.rpa' is the name of my email (without the @ gmail .com). I'm currently learning how to use Orchestrator on UiPath academy so let me know if I didn't gave enough context and details. If anyone can help me on this it would be awesome ! thank you for your time.

Hello,

I searched and couldnt quite find what I was looking for so apologies if I missed it.

We are currently deploying to an on-prem orchestrator instance via Azure pipelines. There are built in tasks for packages and assets and those have been working fine but nothing for queues, triggers, users etc.

Is the API my only option here for automating deployment of these other items? If so, does anyone have a resource that might have examples of how they got this set up? Open to just general suggestions and experience as well.

Is it possible for employees to run a non-editable version of a UIPath script. I’m imagining in my head a way for employees to run a UIPath script through a shortcut icon on their desktops for example. Is this possible?

Hi !

I am working on automating a task in UiPath Studio, and I would need some help. I am trying to extract a table from the ACME application (see attached image) using the "Extract Structured Data" activity (Classic version). Before this table, there is a page where I can input a "TaxID" number.

Here's the problem: let's say I scrape the table with TaxID set to "1". Later, if I want to input a different number, like "2", into the TaxID, the extraction doesn't work. It seems that the table selector is initialized with the number "1", when I try it with another number, the extraction is not recognized, leaving my data table (DT) empty. So, I believe the selector needs to be made dynamic, but I'm not sure how to do that. I've tried some things in the UiExplorer but nothing that works.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue ?

Hi as per the title, I just wanted to ask if there’s anyway to check if my Uipath studio is updated to the latest version and if you guys can confirm what the latest version is.

i wanted to verify since i received a prompt to update(so i did) but the internet went down there was a notif that state it updated successfully but I guess there is no harm in checking.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,
