What should be done first before running the bot?

Before executing a bot, it is essential to login to the Automation Control Room. This is the primary interface from which bot management, scheduling, and execution are coordinated. Without logging in, you won't have access to the bots you need to run, nor will you be able to monitor their performance or access relevant credentials securely stored within the Control Room.

Logging in ensures that you have the necessary permissions and access to manage the bots effectively, perform any required updates, and ensure that all necessary resources are in place for the bot to function correctly. It sets the foundational step for initiating any RPA tasks, making it crucial in the bot execution process.

Other options represent actions that can be performed once the bot is ready to run but are dependent on the initial step of gaining access through the Control Room.
