UI Automation Activities
Last updated Nov 25, 2024
Selection options
Mobile Automation activities allow you to work with mobile UI elements by simulating human interaction. When you select Indicate Target inside the body of a mobile automation activity, a separate Selection Options panel opens, enabling you to simulate the interaction with the device.
To open the Selection Options panel, select Indicate Target inside the body of the activity. This action takes you back to Mobile Device Manager next to where it opens the Selection Options panel.
In the Selection Options panel you can choose to indicate a UI element using
various selector generation methods. The table below describes each selector
generation method and their corresponding keyboard shortcut that you use to enable
them.
Note: Mobile automation selectors don't support
wildcard characters.
| Method | Description | How to use the method |
|---|---|---|
| Context aware elements discovery | Selects UI elements that are identified by Mobile Device Manager. | Select F2 in the selection panel, or press
F2 on your keyboard.
|
| Image selection mode | Selects UI elements based on an image that you manually crop from the mobile screen in MDM. | Select F3 in the selection panel, or press
F3 on your keyboard.
|
| WebView selectors as native selectors | Tries to convert future selectors of type WebView, to selectors of type native, in accordance with the operating system used. This feature makes automating web apps easier. | Select F4 in the selection panel, or press
F4 on your keyboard.
|
| Computer Vision | Selects UI elements identified by the Computer Vision feature. This feature uses a UiPath neural network that is able to identify UI elements without the use of selectors. This method, in turn, manages to identify elements that are otherwise unable to automate. |
To access a preview of all the elements that Computer Vision
can identify and automate, press the F5
on your keyboard to enable the selector generation method.
