Select Item from a list

HI Community,

I'm making a robot that attaches tax documents to the supplier portal, and basically, I arrive at this part of the image below, where I need to check the item number authorized for billing in the purchase order, then I need to press the "Edit" button corresponding to the item right, and then selecting the check box corresponding to that item.

Example: In image below, let's assume that the Item authorized for billing is 0002, so I need to press the Edit button for that item (I colored it red) and then select the checkbox for that item (I colored it blue)

My difficulty is making the robot know that it needs to edit the button referring to the authorized Item, in this case 0002 and not 0001, and then select the checkbox for the right Item, in this case 0002 and not 0001.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
it would help a lot to see the html code of the page to see if the selectors of the checkboxes / Edit button are related to the item. It then could be handled by custom selectors with a variable part.
You then could extract the table and loop through the items and set the variables for the custom selectors for checkbox and edit button.

I hope it’s not described too complicated 🙂

Hi bro, in html:

<button type="button" onclick="$('#0001').modal('show');returnNumberFloat('value-edit-0', '2016.99')" class="btn btn-warning btn-sm" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#0001">Edit</button>

<button type="button" onclick="$('#0002').modal('show');returnNumberFloat('value-edit-1', '2016.99')" class="btn btn-warning btn-sm" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#0002">Edit</button>

Now I don't understand how to do the association, there is no HTML selector. Can you be more specific, please? 🙂

You should try to use Press button in web page action, capture the button and then modify it's selector. Try using this as the selector:

button[data-target="#%Number%"]

You'll need to enable the text editor to set a custom selector and also pass the value as a variable, so set the value you're looking for to %Number%.

If you don't know how to modify selectors in PAD, refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors
