Q: Went through the threads and somehow understand how it works.
Just to confirm my understanding.
By attended bot, i will need to have my computer switch-on since there is a need of human intervention to start the flow and let it run in the background.
Once i have my computer switch-off, i will need to use unattended bot but only applies to web-based task and not computer application task.
Am i right about it?

1) You are correct about Attended bot, you can't schedule them, scheduling is available only for Unattended bots.
2) Unattended bot can't run if you completely switch off the PC (nothing can), so you need your PC to be enabled. Agent should keep your user from locking, and even if it has been locked if agent is running when the command from Orchestrator comes to launch the bot the agent should start the user session so the bot could run. Basically the best way to utilize it to deploy the robot on some virtual machine in cloud for example, and you will not need to be connected to that virtual machine, agent will handle all the staff for you, and as long the virtual machine is on, the bot will run.
3) Unattended bots can run both web and desktop automations, there is no restriction on that.

And can three attended bots be use at the same time on the same computer?

No, only one bot either attended or not can be running on a 1 machine at a time.
