RPA Developer Kickstarter | Day 3: UI Automation and UiPath Selectors
- 1. RPA Kickstarter Day 3 Ui Automation & Selectors Lovely Sinha
- 2. 2 1. Introduction to User Interface Automation What is UI Automation? How does UI Automation Work? 2. Selectors and Ui Explorer 3. Input Activities and Methods 4. Output Activities and Methods Agenda
- 3. 3 User Interface (UI) Elements : All graphical user interface pieces that construct an application, be they windows, checkboxes, text fields or drop- down lists, and so on. UI Automation: The process of interacting with graphical elements within applications by simulating mouse and keyboard controls. There are majorly two interactions we can observe in UI Automation Input: Inserting data into an application Output: Fetching data from an application or Ui Elements
- 4. 4 UI Automation Activities Latest Package Available in Manage Package Section Activities can be split into: •Containers - These are activities that identify the browsers or apps the process needs to interact with. All activities included within a Container will execute on the same application. Some examples are Open Browser, Attach Browser, Open Application, or Use Application/Browser •Input Activities - These activities send input to UI elements. They can be used to click, check, type into, send hotkeys, and so on. •Output Activities - get structured data or get UiElements containing images. •Synchronization Activities - They help you create triggers based on UI behavior, thus enabling the Robot to execute certain actions when specific events occur on a machine.

- 7. 7 Example 1: UI Demo Application Open Demo UI Application Enter Data Click Accept Get Transaction Number Input Actions Output Actions
- 8. 8 Selectors Unique identifiers of UI elements. These store UI element attributes which will help identify the UI element uniquely during automation. Wild cards There are two types of wildcards available in UiPath * - Replaces any number of characters. ? - Replaces exactly one character.
- 9. 9 UI Explorer It is the wizard which is used to indicate and edit selectors. If we are unable to locate the individual element then we can switch to other Ui Frameworks for better results.

- 11. 11 Input and Output Methods Input Methods •Hardware Events Clicks: the mouse cursor moves across the screen. Typing: the keyboard driver is used to type individual characters. Does not work in the background. The attended User cannot touch the mouse or keyboard during the automation. •Send Window Message Replays the window messages that the target application receives when the mouse/keyboard is used. Works in the background. Users can work on other activities during the execution of the automated processes. •Simulate Uses the technology of the target application (the API level) to send instructions. Works in the background. Users can work on other activities during the execution of the automated processes
- 12. 12 Output Methods Output Methods •Full Text the default method and good enough in most cases. It is the fastest, it can extract hidden text, it has 100% accuracy, and can work in the background. •Native compatible with applications that use Graphics Design Interface (GDI), the Microsoft API used for representing graphical objects. It doesn’t extract hidden text and it cannot work in the background; and just like Full Text, it doesn’t support virtual environments. •OCR OCR (or Optical Character Recognition) is the only output method that works with virtual environments and with “reading” text from images. Its technology relies on recognizing each character and its position. On the other hand, it cannot work in the background, it cannot extract hidden text, and its speed is by far the lowest.
- 13. 13 UI Automation is the process of automating application user interfaces by simulating human input and output actions through specific UI Activities. The first step in automating UIs is understanding the logical sequence of steps that a human user would take. The second step consists in translating these steps into UiPath Studio Activities and configuring them. The complexity of the UI or of the application is irrelevant. All desktop/web applications can be automated by using universal or application-tailored activities. Takeaways
