UiPath is not able to identify overlay Object loading Run time in Adobe Expeirence Manager

Hi Team,

We are Automating adding of the Components in Adobe Experience Manager.
Currently we are facing challenge in clicking of the Components, where Ui Path is not able to identify overlay Object loading Run time.
Need help here

Hi @raghavendrax.hegde,

Adobe Experience Manager renders overlay components dynamically at runtime, so UiPath cannot reliably identify them with standard selectors.

What works:

Use relative selectors / Anchor Base instead of full selectors

Add Check App State / Element Exists before clicking

If the overlay is not in DOM or is canvas-based, use Computer Vision / Click Image

This is an AEM UI behavior, not a UiPath issue.

Welcome to the community

can you show a screenshot of the issue

also for most of such applications loading components via menu/shortcut or via loading a csv works..try those ways as well

cheers

Hi Anil.

PFB Screen Shot. Currently through Ui path we are not able to find the Component which is mentioning tc001.

@raghavendrax.hegde

for now can you indicate anything on application from ui explorer

Then on left top menu (selector tree) you would get all elements that are present may be hidden as well…try to expand and use the highlight icon so that whe you click on a elment it highlights and shows which element it is…try finding if you are able to find from there

cheers

Hi @raghavendrax.hegde

  • Use UI Explorer and anchor on a stable parent element
  • Switch selectors to wildcards for dynamic IDs/classes
  • Try Click Image / CV Click instead of selector-based click
  • Add wait for attribute / delay until overlay fully loads
  • If available, use keyboard shortcuts or JS injection (last option)

Hi @raghavendrax.hegde

  • Use relative selectors or Anchor Base instead of full selectors
  • Wait for the overlay to load using Check App State / Element Exists
  • Add retry logic to handle dynamic UI
  • If the element is not exposed in the DOM, then use Computer Vision or Image-based click as a fallback

These methods usually resolve AEM overlay interaction issues.
