1. What is an Asset?

An asset is a shared variable (or shared credential) that allows you to centrally manage a unique name and value pair.

Consider the common task of "logging into a system."

For example, account information for logging into a system is often "stored in an Excel file on a local PC and read by the Agent" or "embedded in the code." However, this often makes the information accessible to anyone, putting sensitive information at risk. Additionally, there are operational issues, such as the inability to manage everything centrally.

By using the "Asset" feature of akaBot Center, you can "centrally manage account information in a secure location and allow the Agent to use the account information when needed," enabling safer and more efficient operations.

Additionally, by utilizing the ability to set individual values for each Agent, it is possible to manage connections within the same workflow, such as "Agent 1 connects to the test environment system" and "Agent 2 connects to the production environment system."

2. Types
There are "Environment Variables" for managing information and "Credentials" for managing account information.

Environment Variables
Different variable types are available depending on the values you want to manage.

• STRING: Handles strings.
• BOOL: Handles "true" or "false".
• INTEGER: Handles only integer values.

Credentials
Used to manage credential information, such as system login details. The variable type "CREDENTIAL" is used. It manages the username and password as a pair.
