Pega Robot Manager 8.6.4

Robotic Process Automation

English

Scenario

MyTown is opting for unattended Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to manage the spike in Service Requests that occur on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. Historically, the data shows inquiries trend down during that same time. The MyTown RM application intends to manage this workload shift by allowing only those robots in Inquiry work group to move to the Service Request work group. The robots in the Service Request work group cannot be moved. 

The default Candidate work group and requestor mapping created by MyTown must be modified to implement this business need. You are asked to use the RPA services in the robot simulator to test the available work groups and ensure the Robot registration settings are configured to support balancing the workload. You must also test that the robots from the Inquiry work group can move to the Service Request work group by manually moving them within Pega Robot Manager.
