Example

To do an element search on a website, you must follow the next steps:

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

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

As shown above we used the Google website for this tutorial:

• https://www.google.com/

2 - On this site, it is necessary to fill in some search information. To do this, we will use the "Search Elements" object, which is available in 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)

2 - The working area will look like this:
