what does it mean by never open?

Thank you,

Hi @A_Learner

an automation script that needs to perform actions within a specific web browser. If you set the “open” property to “never,” the script will assume that the web browser is already open, and it will interact with the existing instance of the browser rather than opening a new one.

  1. Always: The application or browser will be opened every time the activity is executed, regardless of whether it was already open or not.
  2. Never: The application or browser will not be opened by the activity. It assumes that the application or browser is already open and the activity will work within the existing instance.

Hi @A_Learner

If set to “Never,” the activity will assume that the specified application or browser is already open. It will not attempt to open it if it’s not running. If the application is not open, the activity might fail or produce unexpected behavior, as it’s assuming that the application is already available for interactions.

@A_Learner
For more details

  1. Always: This option will ensure that the application or browser is opened every time the activity is executed, regardless of whether it’s already running or not. If the application/browser is already open, it will be closed and reopened.
  2. Never: This option indicates that the activity should not attempt to open the application or browser if it’s not already running. If the application/browser is not open, the activity will simply proceed without trying to launch it.
  3. Only if not running: This option will open the application or browser only if it’s not already running. If the application/browser is already open, the activity will not attempt to reopen it.
