The "Hosts" page is designed for:
The table in this section contains a list of host accounts (server or personal computer) whose data has been added to the platform database. The data about the host is automatically transferred by the ROBIN Agent immediately after the installation of the client part of the platform on this machine is completed. Thus, these are hosts that have a robot execution system - you can run robots on them or get information about robots that have already been run.
The table displays only those accounts to which you have configured access (more details in Access control. Description of functionality).
Since a host can have multiple accounts on which robot execution is available, there can be multiple rows in the table with the same host but with different accounts and information about them.
Column name / button name | Description | ||
