UiPath click not working

A web page has a container where it contains 4 icons
I need to hover cursor for the icons to appear
The web application is restricted and doesn’t allow screens scrapping and other functionalities
I need to select one icon
However all activities can select the container
None of the icons can be selected individually what should be the approach.

@Ritaman_Baral,

There is always a way. I’m not sure how it looks like but try developer tools options in browser by pressing F12. check the selectors or structure of that container and icons, how they are designed/plotted on the page.

In fact you can get the selectors also out of it.

Does the application have keyboard shortcuts you can use for the icons? Are all the icons the same or different? If they’re different you could use an image based selector, or CV.

Since you can’t select the icons individually, you’ll need to determine the position or index of the icon you want to select.

Try to find out if the icons have unique attributes (e.g. CSS classes, IDs) that can help identify their position and then retrieve all the icon elements within the container using get element activity.
Once the position is identified you can use the click activity to click on that specific icon.

Hi [Ritaman_Baral],

What can i suggest you, in the web recording of UiPath, at initial stage apply hover or highlight option before recording.

This approach take little bit delay in automation but selection of ui element will be doing accurately.

Let me know if it works & like…

Cheers…

What about these questions?

@Ritaman_Baral,

Try any other browser, just for getting the selectors.

Also one more thing, you can download the web page by Ctrl+S and it will be saved locally. Once downloaded, just open the html file in any text editor and look for the html code.
