Hi - I have a web application that we use internally to capture loan details. there are several screen I need to save as PDF`s, however when I click the print hyperlink button, a pop up comes up and I am unable to use the “click” activity to click save. I have also tried the “send hot key” CTRL “enter” and it will not click save.

1st image is the workflow I have created

2nd image is the view of the pop up once “Print” is clicked

Working with sensitive data/systems, so unable to share a specific workflow details or screenshots at the present time, unfortunately.

Hi @arturo.ayala

If selectors are not reliable try click image activity.

Thanks

Hello,

Can you check changing UiFramworks.

UI Frameworks - Changes the technology used to determine UI elements and their selectors. The following options are available:
Default – UiPath proprietary method. Usually works fine with all types of user interfaces.
Active Accessibility – an earlier solution from Microsoft for making apps accessible. It is recommended that you use this option with legacy software, when the Default one does not work.
UI Automation – the improved accessibility model from Microsoft. It is recommended that you use this option with newer apps, when the Default one does not work.

Hi - thank you this option seems to be working for now.

Question - once the box to save the document comes up, how can I save multiple screenshot without overwriting the other?

I modified this option thru UiExplorer and was not able to get too far. I am working on getting more familiar with these options

Hello @arturo.ayala

Can I recommend trying a “retry scope”.

This will allow you to try multiple activities including:

  • Click: “simulate click”
  • Click: default hardware click.
  • Click Image
  • Send Hotkeys

You can set the number of retries and the interval between attempts.

Check out these resources:
Retry Scope UiPath Documentation
UiPath tutorial - Start video at 1:52
There are multiple other tutorial videos out there.

Hopefully this helps.

Hi
Instead of ctrl+enter did we try using just enter key
While using hot keys especially here don’t indicate on any element and use just the hot keys alone
Or
Once that page appears Use Send hot key activity to navigate across buttons using tab key without indicating element
And once reached to save button use a final send hot key activity with key as enter

And ofcourse click text will also work and click image May fail at times if the resolution of that image changes and it can run only if the save button is visible in foreground

And for this

You can save the file with date time in its name so that it will make a unique file every time when created

Like this in Type into activity

“Your filename or filepath” + DateTime.Now.ToString(“hh_mm”) + “[k(enter)]”

This will enter the file name along with hour and minute so that it will be unique one

Hope this would help you resolve this

Cheers @arturo.ayala

Hi @arturo.ayala

You can give like this

“Screenshot” + now.tostring(“ddMmyyyy hhmmss”) + “[k(enter)]”

Thanks

thank you for your response, I went ahead and tried your recommendation.

Results, for some reason when I utilize the click / hot keys, they only seem to work in the background (or behind the pop up)

However, it did help for other options down the workflow.

Response: I removed the element and only used the “Enter” option. When the pop up came up there was no response and then it seems as the workflow will continue to the next activity an error out.

Or
Once that page appears Use Send hot key activity to navigate across buttons using tab key without indicating element
And once reached to save button use a final send hot key activity with key as enter

Response: Using the tab worked initially, however I noticed when “TAB” was executed it was going behind the pop up and selecting the actual window and executing on the ribbon.

I appreciate your help
