Advice needed on PAD usability running multiple browser automation flows on one laptop

Hello Everyone.

I have two questions please relating to PAD, and I was wondering if anyone could offer advice?

1 - On a single screen laptop running a browser automation flow, is there any way to have the flow running and to also see PAD going through the respective steps at the same time on one screen? I've found otherwise that if I switch between the browser running and PAD that the flow can break as it is not in focus - does that make sense?

2 - On a laptop running a PAD browser automation flow, how can I make a brand-new browser automation flow and have them both running at the same time? I guess for this question 1 also applies.

Thank you for any kind advice or suggestions.

Hi,

1. For RPA in general, you need the screen in the focused window. Otherwise the flow will break that is correct.
2. Interested in this question also, I haven't tried having two browser half minimized next to each other, maybe that can work. But in the past I have worked with Python web automation with Selenium als i Could use as many browsers in minimized or maximized view.

Thank you @OkanAT .

So, is it not possible to run two concurrent browser automation flows using PAD? This seems like something of a limitation? Right now, I have to use two screens to help debug my flow as it is not possible to do it on a single screen.

Interested to hear the feedback of others too on this.
