Welcome to Automation:

1. Firstly you have to open the application on which you want to click
2. Try that the element is visible on the screen.

Look at the article - https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/click

3

Are you using Use Application/Browser activity for your automation.

This should make the application / window your parent.

4

Yess the application is open and the element is visible on the screen.After clicking on the element itself i am getting above error.

5

Yesss I am using Use Application activity and in that i am doing click or get attribute functions and for all i am getting this error.

Use click activity within the use application scope.
Indicate the correct application .

Can you share the sequence of activities you are doing etc and at which activity it is failing along with the selector etc.
