Scenario
MyTown has used the robotic process automation (RPA) services for two months and has received complaints from users that Service requests and Inquiries are moving slowly during specific periods. As an administrator, you generate a report that can pinpoint the issue using the Pega Robot Manager reporting feature.
To ensure that the system analyses only recent data, you must archive data from the oldest date referenced in the system, April 1, 2020, before creating the report. Then, create two reports: one that shows inquiries that take longer than three seconds and service requests that take more than five seconds. You will then make this report Public so that you can share it with the other product owners and export it for further use.
Complete the following tasks:
- Archive old data
- Create a custom report
- Configure filters on the report
- Make report public
The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:
