PRESENTER: Hello, and welcome to this quick start guide
for Task Mining Business Users.
If you have been selected by your organization
to be recorded as part of UiPath Task Mining project,
this guide will help you get familiar
with the recording process.
During this video, we will first give
an overview of the goals of a Task Mining study,
and what kind of data will be collected.
Afterwards, we'll get you familiar with the recording
process, and present you with some recording guidelines
to ensure optimal results.
Let's get started.
Task Mining aims to identify repetitive tasks
with high automation potential by collecting data
on employees desktops.
Don't worry Task Mining does not record everything
only interactions with applications and URLs selected
for your study by your Task Mining admin.
While using these applications we'll
collect screenshots and metadata about your interactions,
such as mouse clicks and keyboard commands.
Task Mining is not used to continuously monitor your work
instead the recording usually only lasts one to two weeks.
Once the recording has finished, Task Mining
uses machine learning to combine information
from multiple users in the study.
Identifies repetitive tasks and visualizes them
in a process map.
Task Mining ranks the different identified tasks
based on the automation potential
such that your organization can analyze
which of your daily tasks should be supported by an automation.
Please keep in mind that Task Mining is not
for ad-hoc or manual process documentation,
analyzing process efficiencies, or testing applications.
Now, let's see what a recording on employee's screen
looks like in action.
When the Task Mining admin adds you to a project,
you will receive an email with instructions
to install the recording client.
After you have finished installation and signed in,
the admin can start a recording for you.
You are prompted with a consent message,
and only after accepting it will the recording start.
When working in an application that is part of the Task Mining
study, you can see your actions are recorded
by this highlighted icon.
You can also deny the recording of this application
if you think it shouldn't be part of the study.
For applications, which are not being recorded,
you have the option to add them to your recordings
if you consider this application relevant for the Task Mining
project.
The Task Mining admin will be notified
and can decide whether to start recording
this application for all users.
Before you perform activities not relevant to your Task
Mining study, we recommend pausing the recording
for a few minutes by clicking on the Pause button in the Task
Mining client.
After the selected time has passed,
the recording will start automatically again.
Don't forget to resume the recording
if you start working on your tasks earlier than expected.
The client also provides you more information
about your recordings, such as the denied and allowed
applications and URLs, Your recording
progress, configured proxies, and details
about your recording client.
Now that what the recording will look like let's also look
at some dos and don'ts to ensure optimal results.
During the recording, finish the tasks
you started while recording.
Try to avoid starting a task one day,
and finishing it the next day.
Work on the same tasks in the same browser that
is being recorded.
Don't use different browsers for the same task.
We also recommend you use Slack, Spotify, and social media
in a different browser that is not being recorded.
For optimal results, avoid multitasking.
Don't start working on task A, and meanwhile
also answer your emails.
Switching back and forth between your work.
Don't pause the recording and continue working on the task.
Focus on executing the task to completion.
All right we have reached the end of this quick start guide.
