Hello,

I have a report in SalesForce, which is scrollable, i need to search specific key word, click on hyperlink and execute action. Problem i have if i use Activity > Text Exists he is finding text even if target is not in the table anymore, therefore he is skipping function and performs only Then from IF/Else Activity. Even though i gave him to search only aaname, somehow he is finding text and continues for execute program like there is targeted text.

Hi @Dorian_Budimlic

You can use anchor base activity

Anchor Base

  • Find Element (Selector for the anchor element)
  • Element Exists (Selector for the text within the anchor)

IF (Element Exists Result)

  • Click Hyperlink (or perform other actions)
    ELSE
  • Handle the case when the text is not found

Hope this helps

Hello @Dorian_Budimlic

Ensure your “Text Exists” activity’s selector is specific, consider dynamic selectors, wait for the element to load, and explore alternative approaches like “Find Element” or “Data Scraping.” Check if the activity is considering elements outside the visible area, use logging for debugging, ensure the browser extension is installed, and consider dynamic waits for better synchronization. Adjust these aspects to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Thanks & Cheers!!!

Hello Sanjey,

Thank you for the reply.
My report consist out of the following:
Subject, Case number, date created, assignment group. All information will be dynamic except Subject and assignment group. I was trying also activity Find element, but when you go into UIExplore he is also connecting selected target to few other elements in the table, not only with aaname, i will try it again, but didn’t work for me

Yes it does take elements outside visible area, that is the problem, when you go to Activity UiEplorer you can clearly see that he took not only aaname, but also a row, index and other parameters. Soon as i disconnect them and leave only aaname, he cannot find target if its not in visible area. I manage to solve this with Image functionality, Image Exists, but for me it is to clunky, sensitive and prone to mistakes. Although i fin tune it and it worked, i want to take another approach.
