Application work

Description:
IKEA is using SAP Finance and we'll be building a simplification for this use case, but the principles are the same. Create a UiPath robot that:

  • Takes user input (the user will type an integer, when prompted)
  • Open the Windows Calculator
  • Multiply the user input with 8 using the Windows Calculator
  • Present the output in a Message Box
