Open VM session
To learn more about desktop Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Wrk's approach to RPA - follow this link.
Connect and log in to a Virtual Machine. This Wrk Action will create a unique desktop session that must be used in subsequent Desktop Automation Wrk Actions.
A desktop session will be active for up to 6 hours or until closed. Sessions are never kept open longer than 6 hours. If your Desktop Automation Wrkflow is taking longer than 6 hours, break it into smaller desktop sessions.
Always use the “Close a desktop VM session” Wrk Action when you are done with your desktop automation.
