# Dialogs

The Dialogs group of components performs basic operations on file and folder dialogs as part of an attended automation.

The components can do the following operations:

-   Open a file dialog to open a file based on the criteria you specify.
-   Open a folder dialog and then open a folder.
-   Save a file to a location.

-   **[Use the OpenFileDialog component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/use-utilities-dialogs-openfiledialog.md)**  
Open a file dialog from where you can open a file using the OpenFileDialog component in the RPA Desktop Design Studio.
-   **[Use the LockUIDialog component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/use-lockuidialog.md)**  
Provide additional authentication to any step of your attended automation by using the LockUIDialog component in the RPA Desktop Design Studio application.
-   **[Use the OpenFolderDialog component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/use-dialogs-openfolderdialog.md)**  
Open a folder dialog so you can open a folder from there with the OpenFolderDialog component. After opening the folder dialog, you can create a folder.
-   **[Use the SaveFileDialog component](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/use-utilities-dialogs-savefiledialog.md)**  
Save a file to a folder using the SaveFileDialog component in the RPA Desktop Design Studio. By default, the component opens the last file dialog you had opened.
-   **[Dialog component properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/dialog-component-properties.md)**  
Refer to the descriptions of the properties of the Dialog components. You can update the properties, if required.
