Yes @PAD actually the only one working so far is " Take screenshot". In fact my question was related to it, is it reliable to be used in an extensive way to make a professional report ? I hope so :)))) Great support thanks a lot !

No problem, hope this solution will work for you 
Somehow you have to pull in each image after all, so one activity that replaces opening and navigating through the menu (especially when hotkeys fail you) seems to be the best wayâŚ
Yes I will try to optimize it in somewayâŚfor sure it is a quite challenging task ,but since it is a very time consuming activity it worth to automate it ⌠Really appreciate your help and for sure I will come back to you along my journey.

Hello @PAD, I would like to inform you that at the end " take screen shot" activity cannot be used on my project since what I save change basing on what there is in the screen it is not linked to the chart itself. I mean If I am in a full screen mode is working perfectly, but for instance, if I am doing something else and minimazing the frame , the chart saved is mixed with other parts of the screenâŚso I have to find a different way to save the chartsâŚ
Hi @Salvo71
Are you actually interacting with the screen when the automation is being run? Our automations run undisturbed⌠If it is just a matter of the settings being changed prior to the automation run, you can add âMaximize windowâ activity to the workflow before taking the screenshot - it will keep the same conditions. Besides, can you specify in Take screenshot that it is going to be related only to the chart image - I mean do your charts have a separate selector? Would it help?
Hi @PAD
thanks but using Maximize window I got the following error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Basically it would be nice if the bot can run in background while I am doing something else. Besides I should get the same results using laptop as well as using double 27 inch monitorsâŚ
in the chart I have a selector with title and IdâŚ
this is the result
as you can see part of chart is visible onlyâŚthanks
Hi @Salvo71
I am guessing from the error message of your Maximize window, that you probably havenât placed it inside Attach window scope⌠As for your work at the same time when the automation is running, please see the blow threads:
If your chart is a separate UI element, then place (if you havenât done this already) its selector in âTargetâ properties of your activity âTake Screenshotâ (or just apply it via âIndicate on screenâ of that activity). In case of âBesides I should get the same results using laptop as well as using double 27 inch monitorsâ - I am unsure what you mean by that in this context, but please see e.g. the below thread:
Hope this helps
Hello @PAD
sorry for my late reply but I was out of office. Actually I do not think that the point is to maximize the window because using 13" laptop even though I maximize it I can see only part of the chart, to see the whole graph I have to scroll down a bit. At the end of day if I run the bot ( not in background ) using an external monitor with high resolution it seems working , coz in this case I do not need to scroll down the image to see the full chart. but If I run it using the laptop I get only partial chartâŚI hope is more clear now. I think that the correct way should be that to define a sort of object chart which is indipendent by screen resolution, but I really do not know how to implement it in UiPATH. really sorry if I am annoying but does not make sense a bot which is able to generate a report only adjusting manually the screen visualizationâŚso if I do not find out the solution I have to give up :((( thanks !
Hi @Salvo71,
sorry, from âIf I am in a full screen mode is working perfectlyâ I thought that the graph you are after is shown properly when you maximize the window My question is - when you click the graph, does it bring/open its picture for you (something like when you click any image attached to this thread)? If so, you can add âClickâ to your workflow and then adjust your following âTake screenshotâ selector to this populated image.
Another way to solve it (even without having your browser open) if you know the url address of your image is to use âHTTP Requestâ activity. You only need to put the URL address to Endpoint and the path you want to save it to to âResourcePathâ.
Also, if you want to scroll down to make your image appear in full on the screen, you can use some text/image/element you would find at the bottom/just below your graph to make your automation scroll down to it. E.g. see the suggested solution in here:
hello @PAD thanks a lot. Actually I have asked to add a button to the web application that allow to download the picture to some folder, but in this case I have also to select where I have to download the file and I should repeat it for every picturesâŚI do not think it is a robust solution. I believe that HTTP request activity can be more effective. So I am tryin to know which is the picture URL. So , in this case I should copy each imagine to course URL to another folder and then create a pptâŚdo you think is it a good way to proceed ?
Hi, I think you donât have to save them to different folders (unless for some reason you need to). Probably you can add a counter that would slightly change each file name within the path where it is going to be saved thus enabling to save them all to one folder. Alternatively you can add time stamp to each file name to differentiate them.
Yes right, actually I am using the new download function to save the picture in some folder, but using internet explorer, when I click on download a pop up show up asking whether I want to save or save as the picture. Normally I just click on it and it is saved on a default folder, but through Uipath it seems that the click activity is not working. I try to use attach window activity , but not change. I have also selected on click activity " SenWindongMessages" option, but also this is not working, any suggestions ?
using the âHoverâ activity and Click I am now able the display the window with Save as option but I still cannot click on Save as optionâŚand I cannot use Select Item since it is not working
Have you tried âclick imageâ for the word âSaveâ or click text for it?
