🔴 8. LIVE Conversation - Create Dynamic Selectors in UiPath | Use Wildcards Selector | UI Explorer

❖To automate specific actions in the user interface, you are required to interact with various windows, buttons, drop-down lists and many others. One of the ways in which UI elements can be identified is by using their position on the screen, but this can be unreliable.
⦿ To overcome this problem, UiPath Studio uses what we call selectors. These store the attributes of a graphical user interface element and its parents, in the shape of an XML fragment.
⦿ Most of the times, selectors are automatically generated by Studio and do not require further input from you, especially if the apps you are trying to automate have a static user interface.
❖This video is a #LiveConversation where we are talking the #Selectors in #UiPath Studio and How can we make an #DynamicSelector with the help of wildcards in Selectors in UiPath

Nice explanation ❤️.

[@MukeshKala]

Thank you 🙂

[@arungovindarajan93]

Hi Mukesh, I have below doubts regarding dynamic selectors
1) Does the specific notepad file on which we want to perform action should be kept open when we execute the workflow?
2) I have changed the notepad file name(saved in desktop) and closed the notepad file also. I have added wildcard characters in selectors to open the respective notepad file.. But when I try to execute the workflow, the UI Path always open untitled notepad file and it do the actions on that untitled file... It is not opening the renamed notepad file.
I tried giving the dynamic selectors also but nothing works... My understanding from the experiment is, The notepad file which we are working on should be kept open always before we execute the workflow?

[@MukeshKala]

1) NO
2) This would depend on how you have configured the automation. I would recommend you to pleas refer to the modern activities now which has much better control 👉 Modern Design Experience Playlist

[@kaushik__7728]

wht does idx and aa means in that selector

[@MukeshKala]

Index of the Current Element has within its Container which include multiple similar Elements
It is recommended to replace the idx with more reliable one- So automation does not fails in case the application is updated and indices are changed.
