Hi Hanan Saad,

You can use Type Into activity to type the course that you want to select, usually it’s better to type the entire text. For a human might be easier to just type the starting of the text and then select from the drop drown, but for the robot there is no problem in typing the entire text.

Then you need to Click on the course that you want, let’s assume “Level 3 - Advanced Training”. I recommend to improve the selector for the click activity, to include the aaname property. Basically, it will instruct the robot to click on the control with the text “Level 3 - Advanced Training”, exactly what a human will do.

As a best practice, the Type Into and Click activities should be inside an Attach Browser (or Open Browser) activity.

Please check the attached workflow. SearchCourse.xaml (7.2 KB)

Regards
Silviu

I can guess that the “-16” part in the parentid property is dynamic. Replace it with a wildcard (*) and try again. Your selector should look like "<webctrl parentid=“muhammad-qureshi*” tag=… ". Or you can remove entirely the parentid property and see if it’s working.
