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. TheCTRL
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.
