Overview of the Solutions UI
Solutions UI structure and elements for managing solution packages and deployments at tenant level in Automation Cloud.
To explore the Solutions user interface elements in Studio Web, refer to Designing solutions in the Studio Web user guide.
Solutions is the admin interface for managing solution packages and deployments in Orchestrator. It is accessible at the tenant level and contains three tabs: Deployments, Packages, and Projects.
Deployments tab
The Deployments tab is the default view in Solutions. It shows a unified list of every deployment in the tenant, across all folders and operation types.
The table contains the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The deployment name and the folder path where it is installed. A new or changed deployment shows a Just deployed chip next to its name for a short time. |
| Status | The current status of the deployment, displayed as a colored chip: Active, Inactive, Inactive (Needs setup to activate), or Draft. A Draft status means a pending operation has been saved but not yet run. For details on each status, see Deployment statuses. |
| Stages | A visual indicator showing the progress of deployment phases. Completed phases appear as filled green icons, phases with a warning appear as amber icons, and phases that have not run appear as empty indicators. |
| Version | The currently installed package version. When a newer version is available, an upgrade indicator appears next to the current version. Select Upgrade in the row to start the change version flow. |
| Last operation | The most recent operation performed on the deployment (for example, Install, Change version, or Edit configuration), its outcome (Draft, Successful, Failed, In progress, or Failed rollback), and how long ago it ran. For example: Install · Successful · 1 day ago. |
| Business owner | The business owner set for the deployment, or Unassigned. |
Above the table, the following controls are available:
- Search: Filter the list by deployment name.
- Columns: Choose which columns are displayed in the table.
- Filter (filter icon): Filter deployments by Status, Package, Last Operation, Operation status, or Business owner.
- Refresh: Reload the list.
Pointing to a deployment row shows a preview card with the deployment name, last operation, version, author, and the components it contains.
Row actions
Select the three-dot menu (⋮) at the end of any row to access the following actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Go to folder | Opens the solution's Orchestrator folder in the current tab. |
| View logs | Opens the operation history and log output for the deployment. |
| Change version | Opens the deployment workflow to upgrade or downgrade the deployment to a different package version. |
| Edit configuration | Opens the deployment workflow to update the configuration of a running deployment without changing its version. |
| Uninstall | Opens the deployment workflow to remove the deployment and its resources from the folder. |
These actions apply to deployments with no pending draft. For a row with a Draft status, the menu shows only Continue editing and Delete draft.
Deploy entry points
You can start a new deployment from several locations in the Solutions interface:
- The Deploy button in the upper-right corner of the Deployments tab.
- The Deploy row action on the Packages tab.
- The Deploy button in the upper-right corner of the Package sidebar.
- The Deploy row action in the Versions tab of the Package sidebar.
All entry points open the same deployment workflow for installing a new deployment from an already-published package version.
Draft and active deployments
When you save a deployment operation as a draft instead of running it, the Deployments tab groups the draft row with the currently installed deployment as a single visual unit. The installed deployment can be active or inactive, for example Inactive (Needs setup to activate).
The draft row appears first, showing a Draft status chip and the pending operation in Last operation. The installed row follows directly below it with its status chip and the last completed operation. The deployment name and folder path appear only on the draft row.
Packages tab
The Packages tab lets you perform the following operations:
- View all solution packages available in your organization (per tenant).
- Download and upload solution packages.
- Start the deployment of a solution package.
- View existing deployments.
- View previous versions.
The table contains the following columns: Name, Latest version, Description, Publish date, and Author. When a newer version is available for a deployed package, an upgrade icon appears next to Latest version. Its tooltip is Navigate to deployments with upgrades available.
Each row has a Deploy icon and a menu (⋮) with the following actions: Deploy, See deployments, See versions, and Download latest version.
Projects tab
The Projects tab in Solutions does not refer to Studio Web projects. Studio Web projects are managed separately in Studio Web and represent the primary, recommended way of building UiPath automations and solutions. For more information, see the Studio Web user guide.
The Projects tab lets you perform the following operations:
- Create a new solution project.
- Edit an existing solution project (either to publish the first package version or subsequent ones).
- Delete a solution project.
The table contains the following columns: Project name, Description, Author, Last edited, and Published versions. Each row has an Edit (pencil) icon and a Delete (trash) icon.
Deployments registry
The Deployments registry section in Orchestrator also lists solution deployments, on the Solution deployments tab. You can filter the list by Component type, Business owner, and Business area, and export it with Export. For details, see About the Registry context and Task-based navigation in the Orchestrator user guide.
Deployment workflow
All operations on a deployment (deploy, change version, edit configuration, uninstall, and view logs) open the same unified workflow shell. The shell provides a consistent left navigation rail, breadcrumb, and validation panel. Only the operation name, conditional steps, and read-only state differ based on the action.
The same deployment workflow can also be initiated from Studio Web by solution authors. The Solutions interface in Orchestrator is the administrative surface for the same underlying experience.
The Deploy and Change version operations begin on a Setup form, where you confirm the key parameters for the operation before proceeding. The Edit configuration operation opens directly in the resource explorer, at the Configure step. It has no setup form and no Customize option. The Uninstall and View logs operations do not include a setup step. From the Setup form, you can either run the operation directly or select Customize to open the resource explorer and configure individual components before the operation runs.
For details on each operation, see:
