(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 294

hello,

i am trying to automate a process of  item’s creation in my legacy erp.

 

i have created an cycle to copy items from excel to each single tips of erp.

 

In my erp at top of windows i have the login member that have done login (ex: tom byron)

 

When i share the flow with my collegue that has an other name login the flow doesn’t work because it lost my reference name login in erp.

 

how can i rent it indipendent from this phenomen ?

 

thank you

    Do you need this name in your automation, if yes, then:

    You have to edit the selector and add a variable which will contain the current "user name".

    Otherwise, just leave the username out of the selector by using contains/startswith or regex

    Hello @fraenK  thank you for your answer.


    the problem is related also to session.

     

    if i logout from legacy erp, the flow at login doesn’t work.

     

    How can i rend it indipendent from session and from login ?

     

    thank you

    You probably have to modify your selectors for the application windows and make them more generic so adapt to sessions based changes
