Hi,

I have desktop flow, first i type in username and password in a webpage and click login button. Once i click login button it opens a new window without the address bar. From then on i have to work with the links in this particular window, but the click link action doesn't recognize the "Browser instance". How to handle this.

Thanks,

Hi @testthirdware

Can you share more details.
What is the error that you get after using Click action?
In this case is the main login window also open at this time or does it gets closed and only the new window with links is open?

Based on your description, I would say that the new window is not a browser window but a new application, something like an integrated applet within the browser.
In such cases, you could capture an element from that application using the "Add UI element" in the UI elements repository:
In case the captured element is not a web element, you won't be able to use it with actions under the Browser automation group and you may need to use the equivalent action under the UI automation group.
