I am attempting to have my Automate flow search a page using Ctrl+F and inserting "outside comparison".
I then use the "Get details of the UI element in window" Action and select the UI element using the little Red box around the item I want, but for some reason I keep getting an error - UI element wasn't found.
The action I would like to take: After using the Send Key actions to press Ctrl+F, and {F3} to toggle through the options, I want the Flow Action to Left-click on the BLUE text item as long as it is highlighted Orange (Orange indicating the selected option from Ctrl+F results, and Blue indicating the option can be clicked.)
- Example: BD Outside Comparison
BUT, if the text is Gray and highlighted Orange, skip this Ctrl+F result option and keep moving on to the next until it finds the next BLUE text item that is highlighted Orange (Gray selected options can NOT be clicked.)
- Example: BD Outside Comparison
The two letters in front of "Outside Comparison" will be different (example: BD Outside Comparison, MR Outside Comparison, XR Outside Comparison, CT Outside Comparison, US Outside Comparison, etc.), so if that's affecting my outcome, maybe a Wildcard (*) might help, but I don't know where to put it. The Pencil options? It's sooo many options and checkboxes in there too and I don't know if they all should be checked or what:
> pane[Class="BrowserRootView"][Name="InteleBrowser - Study Validation - e222782 - Microsoft Edge"] > pane[Class="NonClientView"] > pane[Class="BrowserFrameViewWin"] > pane[Class="BrowserView"] > pane[Class="SidebarContentsSplitView"] > pane[Class="SidebarContentsSplitView"] > pane[Class="SidebarContentsSplitView"] > pane[Class="SidebarContentsSplitView"] > pane[Class="SplitWindowContainerView"] > pane[Class="View"] > document[Id="RootWebArea"] > table[Class="navybluefont"][Id="validationTable"] > dataitem[Class="tableregularrow"]:eq(194) > dataitem[Name="BD OUTSIDE COMPARISON"] > hyperlink[Name="BD OUTSIDE COMPARISON"]
The highlighted Yellow item above is the item I placed the Red box around when I selected my Get Details of the UI Element in Window
I am new to Power Automate and have done much of my flows up to this point using Copilot. I tried the Recorder and that got more confusing with cursor moves and OCR and now overwhelmed. I also tried IF and Else Actions but again I must not have done something correctly - any help would be awesomely appreciated.
