How do I define which browser tab is needed for a particular step" in StudioX

Help StudioX

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create automation using StudioX (since I am a beginner) but I am facing some challenges while playing between multiple tabs on google chrome.

So here’s what I am trying to do:

  1. Open a website through chrome that accepts input text
  2. Open excel which has the answer across all text fields in each row
  3. Keep the first tab open and open a new tab to enter similar details

The problem arises when I try to use the keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+T to create a new tab and use “Type Into” to enter something in the second tab. However, it automatically takes me back to the old tab on the “Type Into” step.

My question is “How do I define which tab is needed for a particular step” in StudioX?

Hi @hostingtestinghere

Have you tried attach browser

I am sorry for not providing the complete context:
I’ve tried using “Use Application/Browser” in StudioX which is similar to attach browser however issue is with the continuation of activities.

By that, I mean that I want to keep switching between tab 1 and tab 2 and the application card does not allow switching back to tab 2 once you are in tab 1’s workflow.
Is there a way to do that?

In the activity that opens the browser, there should be an output property. You can store the window/tab in a variable. Then later reference that variable as the target for Attach Browser.

2.use for each row and type the values in one tab and launch new tab by using Ctrl+n by using send hot key and to switch tabs give Ctrl+ tab and pass the selector accordingly
