UiPath Solution Management: Improve Your Automation Efforts

Overview

UiPath Solutions Management provides an out-of-the-box way to manage the lifecycle of your solution after it is built. These features are activated when you complete the development of your solution and promote it in a new environment. Solution management initiatives provide an opportunity to bundle all components of a solution under development into a solution package. This includes all the artifacts and metadata required to easily transfer your solution between environments and deploy and apply environment-specific configurations.

Solutions bundle multiple components (processes, assets, queues, etc.) developed on the UiPath platform that work together to automate business use cases. In the context of UiPath, a solution can be as simple as a Studio workflow/process, or as complex as a combination of multiple workflows and processes, apps, assets, queues, storage buckets, data service units, ML capabilities, etc.

We know that all these independent parts work together to form a solution, but the system doesn't know it. To Bundle it together UiPath Solutions Manger Came Into the Picture.
