Auto scroll in UiPath Studio

Help Studio

Dear everyone

I am having a hard time finding any documentation about this, however, here is what I want.

In UiPath Studio, when you run a process, is it possible to have the studio auto scroll for you, so you can see where you are in the process?

Here is a screenshot where you can see I have built a simple process. I am running the process on a dual monitor so I can inspect the studio on one monitor and see the actually process in action on the other monitor, however, I have to frequently, manually, scroll my mouse down on UiPath Studio to see where the process currently is. Is there a setting that automates this?

Kindest regards…
Mark

However, UiPath Studio has a feature called “Highlight Current Activity” that can help you identify the activity being executed. When you run a process in Debug mode, the activity that is currently being executed will be highlighted with a yellow border around it. This can be helpful in tracking the progress of the process without the need to scroll.

In debug Mode only you are able to see what activity is executing in runtime

Execution trail can be used

In addition to above with the reference to the docu:

Debugging:

Execution Trail

The Execution Trail ribbon button is disabled by default. When enabled, it shows the exact execution path at debugging. As the process is executed, each activity is highlighted and marked in the Designer panel, showing you the execution as it happens:

  • executed activities are marked and highlighted in green;
  • activities that were not executed are not marked in any way;
  • activities that threw an exception are marked and highlighted in red.

Highlight Elements

If enabled, UI elements are highlighted during debugging. The option can be used both with regular and step-by-step debugging.

Dear everyone

Thank you so much for your input, it feels like I am on the right track, however, the “scrolling” path is not working in Studio even when I have selected the above suggested options.

It is not scrolling even when I have other activities the process has reached

Please confirm that you are debugging

Yes, I am debugging also

@nmjvk

If you want to reach to a specific break point or the point where execution is paused(due to error also) then you can use focus to automatically go there instead of scrolling

A combination of execution trail and focus should help you

then it should jump from one activity to next.

You can try:

  • delete all Breakpoints
  • close / reopen Studio
  • open the relevant xamls

then:

  • test with debugging (debug file)
  • test it with step into
  • test it with a set breakpoint and continuation of step into

Dear ppr

I just tried your solution but to no vain. Tomorrow I will try to see if I can update UiPath and if it is a version number that might be faulty. I let you know soon. Thanks in advance!

Kind regards…

since UiPath Studio 2018.X we used it and did not encounter a wrong behavior.

A small screen recording of your steps could help us. Feel free to share it with us, if it is possible

Dear ppr

I will be heading home from work now, however, for the next time I am at my workplace, can you suggest me a screen recorder that is compatible with a virtual machine and is free? Thanks in advance!
