Properties

  • Common

    • Description

      A custom description of the item.

    • Name

      The name of this Workflow element.

    • Workflow Folder

      Path to actual location of the loaded Workflow.

  • Compatibility Settings

    • Disable keyboard state reset

      Information entered via the keyboard is only applicable for the duration of a Transaction. The keyboard state is reset at the start of every subsequent Transaction. If information entered via the keyboard is intended to apply to more than one Transaction, enable Disable keyboard state reset.

      Example: Transaction 1 includes the keystroke {CTRLDOWN} and mouse clicks to select several objects. In Transaction 2, additional objects need to be selected as well. The CTRL key must therefore remain held down. This becomes possible by enabling the option to Disable keyboard state reset. Enter the keystroke {CTRLUP} as and when the key is to be released.

    • Don’t warn about trailing or leading Blanks

      Disable warnings for leading and trailing blanks.

    • Static analysis image

      The analysis package contains additional information, so that you can view the cause of a failed image search directly in the window Search Results of the Action Step Search Pattern. If you want to analyze the errors without using RPA Builder, you can activate the option Static analysis image. The analysis image is packed into the analysis folder.

  • Image Processing

    • Color Depth

      Compensate for color depth variations of different measurement robots by using Automatic mode.

  • Measurement Scheduling

    The Measurement Scheduling menu item is a legacy element and can still be found in the Workflow Properties for compatibility reasons. Do not make any changes.

  • STC Guard Settings

    • Force kill by STC Guard

      A list of additional processes to end if an error occurs while executing a Workflow. Enable the STC Guard active setting to activate this feature. STC Guard always closes all visible and associated Windows processes. It is also possible to include windowless processes in the list.

      Process names entered into this field must contain no spaces and must be separated in the list by semicolons, for example: proc_1.exe;proc_2.exe;proc_N.exe.

    • Keep Alive

      A list of all processes that STC Guard does not end if an error occurs while executing a Workflow.

      Process names entered into this field must contain no spaces and must be separated in the list by semicolons, for example: proc_1.exe;proc_2.exe;proc_N.exe.

      Processes listed under Kill on Exit are ended in all circumstances.

    • Kill on Exit

      A list of all processes that STC Guard ends after a Workflow has been executed, irrespective of its success.

      Process names entered into this field must contain no spaces and must be separated in the list by semicolons, for example: proc_1.exe;proc_2.exe;proc_N.exe.

      The processes listed here are also ended if STC Guard active is not selected and even if the same process is listed under Keep Alive.

    • STC Guard active

      Defines the Activation of STC Guard.

      Processes listed under Kill on Exit are ended, irrespective of what is specified in this setting.
