Form Fill Virtual Machine via Image

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 37

Hi, i work with a Virtual Machine running a ERP, i need to open "requisitions" in that system filling the form with my table datas, but i cant install anything in that VM, so i start to use Power Automate to create a filling fluxe, anyway, the issue is that i can only use the "screenshot image" navigation in that ERP, but in that way i would be able to say to my variables values fill the boxes in that software?

 

To be more clear i can find that box location, but how i say to Power Automate fill that box with my var value without using the Virtual Machine module?

I have the same question (0)

    You can't tell PAD to fill the text filed on VM, as it does not see it as a UI, it sees it as a image.

    That is the reason why I recommend you to work with your IT to get small agent for VM installed on that machine, it was created for this exact scenario you want to automate.

    In current situation, you need to operate with operating with images and send keys:

     

    1. Search specific image on screen

    2. Move mouse

    3. Send keys

     

    That could work, but still risky - you need to manage screen resolutions, text scaling, window positions etc/ depending on exact software being automated etc.
