Suggested Answer:

Box 1: Attended -

Attended mode -
To run an attended desktop flow, you need to have an active Windows user session that matches the name of the user configured for your connection. The session must not be locked.
When an attended desktop flow starts on the target machine, we recommend that you avoid interacting with your device until the run completes.

Box 2: Unattended -

Unattended mode -
To run unattended desktop flows, the target machine needs to be available with all users signed out.

Correct answer. First one requires an active user session (attended) and second one requires the user to be signed out (unattended)

CoPilot conclusion: Box 1: Attended UI flow: The user's device must remain unlocked, and the user will leave the device unattended in a secure setting. The user manually can start the flow before leaving the device. The flow runs while the user is away, and the user can check the results upon returning. Benefits: Resource Management: Since the user initiates the flow, they can ensure no other resource-intensive tasks are running simultaneously. Flexibility: The user can monitor the flow's progress and intervene if necessary. Security: The device remains in a secure location, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Box 2: Unattended UI Flow: because it runs after business hours and it is assumed there won’t be other processes running simultaneously – for security reason the device should be blocked while the unattended process is running.

the 2nd says the device must be UNLOCKED not signed out, in order to make sure the device is unlocked I would expect this to be attended

Can the device in the 2nd be signed out while unlocked? If then, it should be unattended.

i would say 2 x unattended, for 2 reasons: 1) attended UI flow for UI flow with user interaction, at some point the user needs to interact even if 99% is automated (e.g. some decision) 2) attended mode requires an active windows user session (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/run-pad-flow). Not sure what happens with a user session (on the windows machine not on the CRM brwoser i guess), when the user is never attending the laptop. some point of time it will lock the screen. Never lock the screen is uncommon in business environment. first one unclear why it must remain unlocked. because of this process or because of any other requirement (completely unrelated to this process)

1: unattended --> 'to leave their device unattended.' 'so that the user can assist with other efforts.' i was wondering if this is related to the UI Flow so 'other effort' would mean the human would have to interact (attended) or is this completely unrelated like 'so that the user can assist with other efforts.' --> make coffee for the boss and wash his car in the mean time the UI flow does what it needs to do.
