Set clipping region question

Hi,
For a legacy application, where elements cannot be identified, trying set clipping region to a section of the page and use key tab. But the tab is going all over the page. It is not going field by field in the clipping region. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Even without clipping region tab should work in a legacy application page. But the tab is going random. Please suggest how to fix this.

Thank you,

Hey @A_Learner,

Use Keyboard Shortcuts with Anchor Base or Computer Vision activities instead of relying only on clipping region.
Legacy apps often don’t expose proper tab order, so CV activities or Image-based automation give reliable field navigation.
If possible, enable Accessibility/AA framework in UiPath for more consistent element focus.

Cheers

@A_Learner

Try aa mode in ui framework under options in your object repo indication or in ui explorer

If not go with cv activities

Tabs manually are moving properly?

Hi @A_Learner

I think Tab key follows system focus, not clipping region. Use Click Text or Find Relative Element to anchor focus. Try Send Hotkey after setting focus with Click or Activate. Use image-based automation if selectors fail.

Happy Automation

CV does not work. Tabs manually are working properly.

Thank you

Your issue resolved or not ?

Not resolved. Thank you.

What is the current status?

@A_Learner

Aa mode in ui framework?

Can you shre which application and if possible some screenshots

Cheers

No mode is working. It gets an id or idx which changes every time. So there is no label or no title etc to uniquely identify.
Tabbing with hot keys is random. CV not working, It throws some security error.

@A_Learner

What security error does it throw when you try to use CV?

@A_Learner,

Please share task details, and the error you are facing.

@A_Learner Try with “Active Accessibility” mode as Anil suggested.

You can change the mode from the “Selection Helper”, before selecting the element.
