Setup Utility: Managing your Desktop Workers just got easier 🎉

👉 You can now manage your Windows Workers just by logging in as the server's admin and using Setup Utility.

Setup Utility lets you see which ones are busy, CPU loads, versions, jump to the correct Worker in Control Room, etc. Setup Utility also now handles the permission setting so that you can directly create Workers on user accounts without admin permissions.

The service-helper CLI tool is still there, and Setup Utility is using it, so the CLI support needed by IT departments using fleet management systems is going nowhere.

👉 The update path is to update your existing Workers to v6.31.1 using the service-helper so that Setup Utility can see them. After that, you can do everything in Setup Utility. You can find the documentation on Setup Utility in our docs

There is also support for Demo Worker, which is designed to replace the Robocorp Workforce Agent UI application. So if you need to demonstrate robot runs on your machine, this is the place for you.

This was one of the “this should be simple” features that turned out to be a bit bigger thing 😉, so big props to Kosmo & Matti from my team!

I'd also want to thank a few enterprise customers and their IT departments, but I do not know if I can ping their names, so I'll just give an anonymous thank you here. 🙏
