Example

To execute an action in a list of elements, you must follow the next steps:

1 - Select the object "Open Browser' on the "Internet" menu and drag it to your working area

  • First define a unique name for the object in the "Object Identifier Name" field, select a browser and enter the website to be accessed in the "Web Page Address" field

As seen above, we will use the w3schools website in this tutorial

2 - Next we must search for the xpath of the table using the "Search Elements" object from the "Internet" menu:

  • You should enter the main object, in this case, the browser object. Next we should enter the xpath in the search field and set "SEARCH A LIST" and then define the action to be applied. (See how to get the xpath of elements manually, by clicking HERE)

3 - Lastly, select the "Action on Elements" object to perform the desired action. Select the main object, select the object defined in the element search, enter the object index and set the action to be performed.
