Sometimes it will not click properly.

Hi @Chetan_Wagh

As this is the pop up add element exists before clicking on the save as button as it verifies if the save as pop up is there or not. Use output of the element exits in if activity for navigation of next steps.

Also configure a anchor for the click

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@Chetan_Wagh

*When using the “Click” activity, consider enabling the “SimulateClick” property. Similarly, for typing, enable the “SimulateType” property. This can improve compatibility in unattended mode.

*Inspect and adjust the selectors used in the automation. In unattended mode, there might be differences in how UI elements are identified. Use UiExplorer to validate and modify selectors as needed.

Cheers!!

Your click activity is Modern or Classic?

6

Its modern click activity. I also tried with Classic click activity

Just take classic click activity and in properties → Expand Target option → Turn on “Wait for ready” to Complete option. (if requires then put delay before to 5000)

Hope it works

Thankyou

@Chetan_Wagh Did you find any working solution for this?

I have exaclty the same behaviour with edge, where I want to click the “Save As” button

Yes

Just use Strict selector method and not fuzzy or Computer vision

Thanks.

I practically never use CV oder Fuzzy. The problem at my end was a differing idx on my machine and on the robot machines. Replaced by asterisk, all fine.

I suggest you go for a send hotkeys based approach. I have faced similar issues and in the long wrong hotkey based solution is more reliable when the selector sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t for no apprent reason
