Hi @sachin_RAMPURE

Use Select Item activity

The activity should be used within Use Application/Browser container.

@sachin_RAMPURE,

Use Click activity to click on the Select a format dropdown. Then add Select Item activity to select ‘Excel’ dropdown.

Some drop downs gets loaded only after clicking on it.

Thanks,
Ashok

Hi @sachin_RAMPURE

In the properties panel of select item you can see an option names as wait for page load so please select that as complete and also please give 3sec delay in the delay before field of the select item from the properties panel only.

@sachin_RAMPURE,

What happens on Clicking the Dropdown Ui Element? is it showing the options?

[sachin_RAMPURE]

see the attached error message
Basically system is not detecting the UI element.

Is it may be dialogue box which holds this dropdown it comes out of main application page as a separate browser?

@sachin_RAMPURE,

Ok it’s clearly issue of the dropdown ui element selector itself. Use a Use application/Browser inside current activity, select this dialogue box as app/browser, use Select Item inside this and then choose the Excel option.

This should work.

Thanks,
Ashok

[sachin_RAMPURE]

it worked with Use Application/Browser

Thank you.
