Help need with PAD flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I am building a PAD flow that launches a website using Chrome, logs in and goes to the section of the reports I need.  Here is where my issue begins, every time a report is selected from the dropdown section, it opens a new tab with the report.  Each time the report is launched a new URL is generated for that tab regardless of whether it is the same report.  The problem is that PAD does not click on the Save button which then opens the option of PDF, CSV, etc. in the new tab.  The new tab is launched by a new instance of Chrome, however, it is attached to the current instance and it has its own variable. I have tried attaching it by tab title and using the foreground window so that the next steps run successfully but both have failed. I have also tried sending the X and Y coordinates/points of the Save button but so far this fails as well.  Any recommendations or help will be appreciated.

    Hey

    What about using "click on image" and capturing the image of the save button? If it opens in different browser instances, you could send keys ALT TAB to change window? If it opens in the same instance (I'm a bit unsure from your message) then you can use CTRL TAB to navigate across tabs open.
     
    Best regards
