UI Element selection

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8
I am using a web application of Employee Management.
I have designed a PAD flow where an employee id is selected from an excel ( I have excel with ID and Name).
By using "Click link on web page" flow inputs employee id to search employee and corresponding employee name is displayed. This displayed employee name has hyperlink and with a click on employee name it open a specific employee page. I used capture UI element(its Anchor) for employee name and it worked for a first run (as excel has 100 rows), when the second run happens it stops at employee name selection as the Id is not found. Any help to run the flow continiously.
I have the same question (0)

    I think id attribute would be different for different employee data.
     
    SO solution would be to make the id attribute dynamic so that it works in general. Also try to see whether you can use any other attribute apart from ID, like employee name in hyperlink text, so that you can use a variable in selectors which holds the employee name 
     
    something like this : a[Text()="%EmployeeName%"]
     

    Thanks & Regards,
