I am creating an automation that uses FIORI. After a click it opens another tab, which stays hidden in the background. How can I set that hidden tab as an active one to continue with the next activities…? Now when it is not brought on top, automation will not recognize it.

Thank you for the quick help… But this did not do the trick. The tab stills stays in the background. And I cannot close the first tab because I need the get back there, when the next iteration starts…

Stays in the background means it is opening and not coming to foreground it opened in other tab right… @ext-o

It opens after that click but the first tab is (visibly) in front of it.

Okay @ext-o

Then after the click activity which is opening the new tab, insert the Use application\browser activity then indicate the newly opened browser and change the properties as below,

  • Close → Always
  • Open → IfNotOpen
  • window attach mode → Single window.

Inside this use application\browser activity insert the activities to do work on newly opened tab.

Hope you understand!!
