How to make Get Text activity (modern) to execute more fast? Aim is to read a simple list, and if a condition is met, click the row. There is very little text, but yet the Get Text activity is executing super slowly, aprx 3-4sec per row. Why? The list has some hundreds of rows… so it would take so long to complete the whole task. Is there a way to make that activity more fast?
This is in SAP, if it makes any difference…
Hi @ext-o
Try suggestion in this post
Also try to read the list using table extraction which works faster.
Hope this helps
3-4 seconds is not super slow at all. It doesn’t matter if there is a lot of text or a little text. If it is in SAP, you are using CV / OCR, so UiPath has to scan and interpret the entire screen before it “knows” how much text there is. It is this scanning of the screen that takes time, not searching the text.
I’m not sure how or why you have set up your activity to use Get Text multiple times on each row? But maybe you have set it up in a way that UiPath re-scans the entire screen each time you try to Get Text.
The previous comment to use Extract Table Data means that UiPath will only scan the screen once, extract all the text, then search just the text, which is nearly instantaneous.
