This self-paced course provides the basic knowledge that you need for understanding, designing, and using Automic objects. Understanding the configuration of the objects and their dependencies is necessary to monitor their execution, identify potential problems, and troubleshoot. After this course, you will have a good understanding of how the most important Automic objects work.

In Automic, objects undergo four phases when executed, whether manually or automatically: Activation, Generation, Processing, and Completion. Each of these phases consists of various steps that take place in a specific sequence. In this context, one function plays a particularly important role, namely the Generation at Activation Time vs. Generation at Runtime option. This switch determines when scripts are generated.

Action Packs are preconfigured building blocks that are ready to use in your Automic Workflows. Action packs are available for many common tasks enabling you to automate routine processes very efficiently.

This video-based course introduces you to Action Packs and shows you how to install and use them. The first lesson shows how to use Actions to automate processes without writing a single line of code but by simply adapting Actions. The second lesson shows how to configure and work with Action Packs so that you can easily reuse them in different contexts. The video also demonstrates five best practices for configuring, working with, and reusing Action Packs.

The third lesson shows how to separate object configuration from automation logic in Workflows, Actions, and Action Packs to work more efficiently. Instead of manually changing the configuration values in all your Workflows and systems, you can store those values in variables (VARA objects). Then, you reference the VARA objects in your Workflows. The video in this lesson explains how to define VARA objects (specifically STATIC and XML VARA objects) to store configuration values.
