Library Store

Introduction

The Library Store within Autom Mate is a centralized repository where users can find and activate applications that are pre-integrated with the platform. These applications extend Autom Mateā€™s functionality by allowing users to leverage external tools and services, seamlessly integrating them into their automation workflows. The Library Store page provides users with an easy interface to view, activate, and use these applications.

Key Feature

The Library Store within Autom Mate provides an efficient and streamlined way for users to integrate external applications into their automation workflows. By allowing users to view, activate, and utilize predefined actions, the Library Store ensures that users can extend the platformā€™s functionality with minimal setup. The clear interface and guidance on credentials and versions help ensure that applications are used effectively and securely within Autom Mate.


Viewing Installed Applications

If a customer wants to view the applications that have already been installed in their Autom Mate environment, they can do so by navigating to the Installed Tab:

Viewing Installed Applications

In the Installed Tab, users can view detailed information about each installed application. For each application, the following details are displayed:

  • Library Name: The name of the library or application that has been installed.

  • Developer: Information about the developer or provider of the application.

  • Active Version: The version of the application that is currently active and in use within the Autom Mate environment.

  • Last Version: The most recent version available for the application, which may be newer than the active version if an update is available.

  • Modified Date: The date and time when the application was last modified or updated.

Managing Installed Applications

From this section, users can easily review which applications are active, confirm that they are using the latest versions, and view key details such as the developer and last modification date. If an update is available, users can navigate to the applicationā€™s detail page for more information or to initiate an update.

Actions in the Application Library

Each application in the Library Store comes with pre-configured actions that define how the application interacts with Autom Mate. These actions cannot be modified or configured by users, but users can view these predefined actions to understand the functionality of the application.

  1. Viewing Actions : Below the top menu, users can see a list of actions that the selected application provides. These actions are preset and provide specific functionalities within Autom Mate. The actions are listed with descriptions that explain their purpose and behavior.

  2. Expanding Action Details : Users can expand each action to view additional details, such as:

    • Action descriptions.

    • Usage instructions or configuration comments, if applicable.

Viewing Application Credentials

For applications that require credentials stored in Autom Mateā€™s Vault, these credentials can be accessed through the Connections Tab within the applicationā€™s details page.

Vault Credentials: Any credentials associated with the application will be visible under the Connections Tab. Users can view which credentials the application uses, but managing or updating the credentials must be done through the Vault.

Application Status and Activation Verification

To verify that an application has been successfully activated:

Check the Activation Status : After the user activates an application, the button previously used for activation will show the version number of the activated application, along with the word "Activated". This provides clear confirmation that the application is now live and ready for use within Autom Mate.
