Run Mode controls how processes can (or can't) run in parallel on the same Resource PC. Eg a process using a Foreground object can run at the same time as another process that uses only Background objects.

hi John carter, can you explain it in brief with any example. its most asked question .

There is a section in the Foundation Training course about run mode. If your object must always run on it's own with nothing else running in parallel then you shoud set it to Exclusive. If your object can run at the same time as background tasks but not other foreground tasks you should set it to Foreground. This is the most common correct setting for UI interfaces. If you have any Global Clicks or Sendkeys anywhere in your interface you should be setting the mode to Foreground or Exclusive. Background means that the interface does not have any global screen interactions so can run concurrently with other sessions. Worth noting that if you are new to the Blue Prism product your Accrediation training path must include access to an accredited mentor who can answer simple questions like this for you. If you do not have a mentor allocated to you please raise that ommission to your management - it is the agreed training path for all clients and partners.
