UiPath does not recognize individual menu items, only the area

What can I do to ensure that the “DRG Workplace” menu item is clicked? Currently, only the entire menu area is recognized, not the individual button.

Hallo @jens.braun
Willkommen im UiPath Forum

in such cases it highly recommended to check the appication type and if some components are maybe integratet into. Here the integration technology is important.

E.g. Java / Browser via JXBrowser

Looks like it’s an old Windows app or something in Java etc - these are common reasons it can’t identify individual elements inside another element.

I suggest using the CV selector (not the CV activities). Another option would be keyboard commands - see if typing “DRG Workplace” highlights the item you want and then maybe space or enter to select it.

Hi @jens.braun

Try these steps to click only the DRG Workplace item:

  • Indicate the DRG Workplace text directly on screen instead of the whole menu.
  • Adjust the selector to target innerText or name = “DRG Workplace”.
  • Use Anchor Base or Find Element with the menu as anchor and the item as target.
  • If the menu is dynamic, hover first, then click.
  • If selectors fail, use Click Image or CV Click.

Thanks for all suggestions. I found a solution by marking a screenshot in the “Click Activity”. This is sufficient for that.
