Overview of this book

SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables businesses to automate repetitive work and integrate automation capabilities across SAP and non-SAP systems. This book provides end-to-end coverage of business process automation using SAP Intelligent RPA and shows how to build multiple SAP Intelligent RPA projects from start to finish. Some of these projects may build upon the work done in previous chapters to showcase the Agile development process in SAP Intelligent RPA. As you progress, you'll cover the SAP Intelligent RPA factory, Desktop Studio, Cloud Studio, and the Bot store. You'll also learn about the building blocks of the SAP Intelligent RPA solution and creating bots from initial application declaration to workflow design and deployment, along with making bots run in attended and unattended modes. You'll also learn about SAP Process Automation, the new SAP service that is going to replace the SAP Intelligent RPA service soon. Finally, we will discuss the migration path for your SAP Intelligent RPA projects to SAP Process Automation and showcase that the RPA development remains similar in both services. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll be able to create and manage complex bots that are capable of interacting with SAP and non-SAP systems.

Chapter 9: Desktop Studio Perspectives

Before starting any development, you must familiarize yourself with the development interface – that is, the integrated development environment (IDE). Once the business process for automation is finalized and the steps for automation are defined, IDEs are used to convert these agreed manual business steps into automation steps. SAP Intelligent RPA provides an IDE called the Desktop Studio to define the target application for automation and the steps to be performed on these target business applications.

Desktop Studio provides different perspectives that allow users to capture applications, capture screens/pages in the scope of the application, controls within application pages for automation, and define sequential actions to be performed on these controls. Desktop Studio also provides an interface that can be used to edit scripts generated by other perspectives.

Desktop Studio is structured in five perspectives. A perspective is...
