Stability and standardization are important factors to consider when assessing the technical feasibility of process automation, because they affect how easy or difficult it is to develop and maintain the automation solution. A stable and standardized process has fewer exceptions, variations, and changes, which means it can be automated more reliably and efficiently. A process that is unstable or non-standardized may require more complex logic, exception handling, and frequent updates, which can increase the development time and cost, as well as the maintenance effort and risk. Therefore, stability and standardization are indicators of how suitable a process is for automation and how likely it is to deliver the expected benefits.

 In a long-running context, a job can be suspended when it is waiting for human validation or intervention. This means that the job is paused until a human user performs an action, such as approving or rejecting a document, providing some input, or resolving an exception. A suspended job can be resumed by the user or by the orchestrator, depending on the configuration of the process. A suspended job is different from a stopping or stopped job, which means that the job is being terminated or has been terminated by the user or by the orchestrator. A suspended job is also different from a running job, which means that the job is executing normally without any interruption or delay. References: Long-Running Workflows - UiPath Documentation Portal, Managing Jobs - UiPath Documentation Portal, Long Running Workflow - UiPath Activities

Rule-based extraction is a technique that applies a set of predefined rules and patterns to extract data from a document. For example, you can use document templates, data position, occurrence patterns, or regular expressions to define the rules. Rule-based extraction is suitable for structured documents, such as forms, that have a fixed format and layout. However, rule-based extraction can be limited by the complexity and variability of the rules, and it may not be able to handle semi-structured or unstructured documents, such as invoices, contracts, or emails, that have different formats, layouts, or data types.

Model-based extraction is a technique that uses machine learning algorithms to automatically learn and extract data from a document. For example, you can use classification, clustering, or regression algorithms to train a model based on a set of labeled or unlabeled data. Model-based extraction is effective for semi-structured or unstructured documents, such as invoices, contracts, or emails, that have similar types of information but different formats, layouts, or data types. However, model-based extraction can require more computational resources and data preparation, and it may not be as accurate or consistent as rule-based extraction.

Scalability is the ability of a system or a process to handle growing amounts of work or demand in a graceful manner. Scalability impacts the design of a UiPath automation flowchart because it determines how well the automation can cope with increased process volume, complexity, or variability. A scalable flowchart design should consider the following strategies:

• Modularization: Breaking down the process into smaller, reusable, and maintainable components that can be easily modified or replaced if needed. Modularization also facilitates testing, debugging, and error handling.
• Parameterization: Using variables, arguments, configuration files, assets, or queues to store and pass data that can change depending on the process execution. Parameterization allows for flexibility and adaptability of the automation to different scenarios or environments.
• Optimization: Reducing unnecessary or redundant steps, activities, or data in the flowchart to improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability of the automation. Optimization also involves choosing the best methods or techniques to achieve the desired outcome, such as using selectors, data scraping, or computer vision.
• Orchestration: Managing the resources, schedules, triggers, and dependencies of the automation to ensure that it runs smoothly and effectively. Orchestration also involves monitoring, logging, and reporting the status and results of the automation, as well as handling exceptions and alerts.

The Isolated option for the Invoke Workflow File activity allows the invoked workflow to run in a separate Windows process, which can help with isolating a faulty workflow from the main workflow. However, this option requires that the arguments passed to the invoked workflow are serializable, meaning that they can be converted into a binary format that can be transferred across processes. Simple types, such as integers, strings, booleans, etc., are serializable by default. Reference types, such as arrays, lists, dictionaries, etc., are serializable if they implement the ISerializable interface or have the [Serializable] attribute. Class types are serializable if they meet the same criteria as reference types. Data Row is an example of a non-serializable type that cannot be used as an argument for an isolated workflow. References: Invoke Workflow File, Using Arguments, What is the the use of “isolated” property of invoke workflow, How to pass arguments to Isolated Workflow.

Semi-structured documents are documents that have some degree of structure, but not enough to be easily processed by traditional data management systems. They usually have a common schema or layout, but the data fields may vary in number, position, or content. They may also contain unstructured elements such as text, images, or handwriting. Examples of semi-structured documents are invoices, receipts, purchase orders, utility bills, and contracts. These documents are often used in business processes and require data extraction and classification. UiPath Document Understanding provides out-of-the-box Machine Learning Models to handle semi-structured documents in a template-less approach12.

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional programming, where a developer writes the instructions to solve a problem, ML algorithms learn from the data. They improve their performance as the amount of data increases. This learning process involves training an ML model on a dataset, allowing it to learn from the examples provided. Once the model is trained, it can make predictions or decisions based on new, unseen data. This approach is powerful in handling complex tasks where defining explicit rules is challenging.
