Automation Tasks Library Use Cases#

To use the Automation Tasks Library in the new Automation Controller the process is similar to choosing the previous packages. Previous packages will be rendered with the prefix Package Version, packages that are Automation Task Libraries will have the prefix Library Version. The system supports the merge of packages that are a hybrid of automation task libraries and non-automation task libraries. If the package is a merged, it will show both prefixes followed by a the version and separated by a comma.

After creating a new Automation Tasks Library in the system, adding it to the system is exactly the same as adding a set of task libraries that were created specifically for the existing Automation Protocols. Depending on the scope and protocol configurations, the library will be shown in the task selection screen of the Automation Controller creation wizard:

After selecting the tasks and converters that you want to add to the Automation Controller, they will be made available in the workflow editor, similarly to what happens to the other system built-in libraries:
