Hi All,
I am creating an automation to auto run for some validation in the web tool. And i will need to key in supplier name and supplier company address and click “Search”.
I am facing some problem here to let the robot to click on “Search” as the search button is in another small page of the browser which after i key in the address i will need to scroll down and click on it for advanced search.
I have tried “Sent hot key” “Find element exist” but both is not working.
I guess the robot couldn’t detect the small page in the browser.
Need some advise on it how can I solve this.
Thanks.

Hi, I hope I understood your objective correctly: after you get to the page seen in the screenshot, you need to press on ‘advanced search’, which will open the small window, type in the details for the search (supplier name, supplier company address etc), then click on the green ‘search’ button at the bottom of the window.
If that is the case, this can be simply achieved using only the click and type into activities. As long as the small window is on screen and you have set the selector properly for fields in which you want to type in + the search button, the robot will be able to type into them and click the button without any scrolling.
PS: In general, if you really need to scroll down and have something on the screen for any reason (need to take a screenshot, an image selector etc), and send hot key is not of any help, you can try using the hover activity on the field you need, or anything that could be used as an anchor, but it needs to have the ‘Input Mode’ property set to hardware events to work.
Hope this helps
Hi @JacelynLok08,
Hi! if you want your robot to identify an element simply use Anchor base which we need to add two activities inside ANCHOR drag FIND ELEMENT. and inside the activity. if that is a button use CLICK activity. if you want to pass data which is in excel use TYPEINTO activity(Make the changes in selectors). or if it is static use TYPEINTO activity.(Type whatever you want)
i hope this will help you. if need any assistance please get back to me.
Thanks&Regards

Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the reply. Yes you understand it correctly.
I am new to UiPath, hence would like to know how to set the selector properly so that the small window in the browser can detect the search button itself or click itself.
Below is the selector part of the “Click” on search button in the small window.
Do you mind to guide me on how to set the selector?
Thanks.
