The Activity component
The Activity component
The Activity component represents any work process for an interaction. Activities can reference actual processes such as add customer, close account, and update customer information. Activities can also reference back-end work to allow the solution to flow and function, such as refresh windows and search database.
The Activity component can use parameters to pass needed information through to each project to complete the activity successfully. You add the Activity component to the global container where you have access to manage the activity through its methods in the Object Explorer.
Pega Robot Studio queues each activity when started within an automation. The activity completes once all processes across the solution complete. You develop the automations to queue and time the activities using the activity methods and parameters.
The following table lists common methods for activities.
