Posted on by 118

Hi Experts,

 

I am able to access the website and able to replicate the actions using web Recorder but I have some issues, so I am using manual way  Please can you help me on point 2 and point 3

1. Launch Browser - worked

2. I need to feed User Name and Password (I used Populate Text Filed on Webpage)

but how to I get UI Element ? then I I need to move to password field 

Is there find element, click them like in say selenium? 

3. I need to open a tab and click few menus down click on dropdown and read the element

 

2nd Part

The issues I faced with web recording 

The objective was to login, go to particular folder and click and download - done

until user added a new file which placed above my relevant file and it downloaded wrong one. 

 

Can I add manually conditional statements in between the automated flow?

    You can use the web recorder or add UI element function to get the element for user ID and password input controls.

    Add new UI Element although detects and shows in popup. The Elements are not visible in Flow's Step where we invoke this option.

    Did you install the browser extension? If UI elements don't appear in the selection list of web automation actions, then PAD has recorded regular UI elements not web browser elements. Try to re/install the latest version of PAD and the extension.

    You'll need to logout from PAD and login again.
