Getting started

Let's start by doing some groundwork.

First, we will access Orchestrator on the cloud. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Access the UiPath cloud platform (go to platform.uipath.com).
2. Log into the platform if needed.
3. Click on Services on the left-hand panel.
4. You should be able to find a default service. Click on its name.
5. This should open up Orchestrator's home page.

Next, let's get the machine name from UiPath Assistant. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. On your Windows PC, locate the UiPath Assistant application (go to Start and search for it).
2. Open up the Assistant application and click on Settings (the gear icon at the top) and choose Orchestrator Configurations.

3. Take note of the Machine Name in the Orchestrator configuration, as shown in the following screenshot:

Now that we have the machine name, let's create the Orchestrator Robot.
