How to activate and select value from a list of values in Markview dropdown list

[csathys (Dairy Land)]

I’m new to UiPath. I’m trying to automate data entry in Markview. One of the fields to enter, is a drop down list and a particular value needs to be selected. How do I go about accomplishing this?

Thanks for your time.

You can use the Select Item activity and provide the string you with to select.

@csathys,

If select item is not working then try this way. Take two click activities: one for selecting drop down menu box and another one for select any item from drop down list and make dynamic selctor.

Are you automating in Chome? If yes, try to uninstall the Chrome Extension then re-install it again.

If you try via the Recorder for Web it should present the options when you use the select item button.

Hi All,

I was able to retrieve all items in the drop down list on a web app and store the items in “BranchList” - String Array, however now i want to select item in the list automatically and export report, and repeat this activity for all items in the list…Please help

[TimK (Tim Kok)]

within your for each, use select item and export.

you will have to add additional delays etc to wait for it to export properly or follow the correct steps.
