Practical Advice for Using Apps
Use Apps to:
- allow users outside of your organization to interact with your automations
- provide cross-platform, cross-device access to your processes
- to ensure that your processes are getting valid inputs. This will reduce the
number of exceptions that end-users will see, because only valid inputs will
be accepted into the process.
For more complex use cases, we recommend working with partners or UiPath
Professional Services.

Discovery

Feasibility
Wireframe Design Build
Discovery (Requirement Gathering)
1. Step up and lead the discovery
2. You need to Listen, Learn, and Understand the problem you are trying to solve
3. Document objectives, requirements, and desired outcomes
Bonus Tip: Build and use a discovery template for future projects

15
1. What is the purpose of the application?
2. Who will be using the application?
3. What are the key features and functionalities being requested?
4. What is the desired timeline for the project?
5. Are there any security or data privacy concerns?
6. Are there any required integrations with backend systems or services?
7. What are the long-term goals for the application?
8. Are there any design or branding guidelines?
9. Does the application tie into an existing RPA process, or does a new one need to be created?
10. What are the inputs and outputs of the App and affected processes?
11. What is the desired speed for processing?
12. What is the expected frequency of use?
13. Are we replacing an existing application, or building a new application from scratch?
14. If we are replacing an existing application, what are the pain points in that application?
Example Discovery Questions

16
Discovery
Assess
Feasibility
Assess Feasibility
1. Divide app into features, rate the feature by technical complexity and skillset
2. Document data flows, integrations, and expected traffic
3. Which features will be Rules, Expressions, or RPA (or a mix)?
4. Loop in partner expertise if in over your head
Bonus Tip: Are you on a developer team? Try dividing up to figure out how to solve complex requirements.

17
Discovery
Assess
Feasibility
Wireframe
1. Draw yourApp on a Canvas
(Whiteboard, or using popular tools like Balsamiq)
2. Set Expectations with Stakeholders
(Show them what you are about to build)
3. Create Multiple Options
(For larger projects this gives the business control of their destination – dedicated UX expert)
Bonus Tip: For best results, wireframe multiple times and continuously get feedback from the business

18
Reasons:
1. Avoid building blind
2. Easy to manipulate
3. Great sanity check
4. Cheap to iterate
5. Easy to collaborate
Why should you wireframe?

19
Discovery
Assess
Feasibility
Design (Front-end)
• Use the C.R.A.P. Rule
(Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity)
• 60-30-10 Color Rule
(60% Primary, 30% Secondary, 10% Accent)
• Interface and Layout
(What is the look and feel?)
Design (Back-end)
• Relational Data
(How will data be stored and retrieved?)
• RPA Processes
(How will complex operations execute?)
• In/Out Arguments
(How will data flow through the App?)
Bonus Tip: Consider scalability and robot allocation depending on usage requirements

Discovery
Assess
Feasibility
Build
1. Divide Core Functionality into Sprint Themes
(Use your wireframe as a guide, and logically separate the App into key functional sections)
2. Build in a Composable Manner
(Create re-usable page templates or interface clusters, like contextual panes, pop-up windows, and more)
3. Create a Debug Window
(You can build a debug panel tied to a query string parameter to assist with variable testing!)
Bonus Tip: Spot test each feature to ensure it works before moving on to the next feature
