Question

What are Work Unit creditsUnits? and how are they applied?

...

  • 1 Work Unit is used for every UI (User Interface) screen that needs detection.

    • Example: Entering values into a screen with 1 or more textboxes and buttons uses 1 Work Unit credit by default.

    • Depending on changes in the screen, this value may increase from 1 Work Unit to 2 or more.

  • 1 or more Work Units are used for every file that is extracted from.

    • If a command is used to explicitly extract from a file, such as a PDF or image, then Work Unit credits are used.

    • Example: Extracting content and values from a image or PDF file will use at least 1 credit. If the image or PDF file has many pages or the automation uses a command to auto-generate field values, additional Work Units are applied (on average +3-5 Work Units per PDF).

  • 1 or more Work Units are used for every Web Page that is extracted from.

    • If a command is used to explicitly extract from a website page, then Work Unit credits are used.

    • Example: Extracting text and table data from a web page will use 1 Work Unit credits.

  • 1 or more Work Units are used for every Datatable that is extracted from.

    • If a command is used to explicitly extract from a datatable in a web or non-web application, then 1+ Work Unit credits are used.

    • Example: Extracting table data from a User Interface will use 1 Work Unit creditWork Unit credits.

How can we reduce Work Unit credits used?

  • You can significantly reduce the number of Work Unit credits used by purchasing the Professional or Enterprise versions of the Aura Digital Workforce product, and configuring to use an on-premises deployment, or a customer hosted cloud deployment.

    • Once you have deployed the Aura Digital Workforce bots on-premises or to your cloud environment (such as Azure tenant), you need to configure the Aura Digital Worker settings to point to your on-premises or cloud hosted server(s).

    • Typically this will reduce the number of Work Unit credits used by about 30-50% to give you more usage out of your Aura Digital Workers.
