Record and edit a scenario using ScenarioBuilder
In this video, you will see how to use Automai’s Recorder to quickly build an automation scenario involving SalesForce. You will learn how to easily test for failures and edit the scenario for optimal robot performance in ScenarioBuilder. Rory goes over some best practices and explanations of the features in ScenarioBuilder.
Using “OnFailure” when building a script
When you build a script, you should use Automai’s “OnFailure” feature to instruct the bot what to do in case of failure. You may want it to: log out, execute another script, close the application, recover (eg close a pop-up window) and resume, or carry out a specific set of actions (best to save these
Automation of Citrix workflows with Citrix Storefront Integration
Learn how to increase injector scalability in using native Citrix StoreFront Integration! Native StoreFront integration uses StoreFront API’s to directly launch Citrix Applications, and Desktops removing the need for the robot to launch native browsers, login, and launch resources. This video will walk through the Citrix Control Actions taking you through the Login, filtering resources,
Using Automai scripting tools to Organize and Maintain Scenario Scripts.
This video will explain how to use Automai’s organizational scripting tools to structure your scenario in the most manageable way. Long complicated scripts can be broken down into components and include global scenarios that make maintenance of the scripts easy. This method will also enable fast creation of new scripts that share sets of
Getting started (part 1)
Learn how to create a scenario that opens a browser session using the “Open Web App” Action, and see how to enter search criteria into a Google search box. After viewing, the user will be able to create a simple scenario using the basic functionality of ScenarioBuilder™.
Getting started (part 2)
Learn how to open a browser session using the “Click on Application Icon” Action, and see how to enter search criteria into a Google search box. After viewing, the user will be able to create a simple scenario using the basic functionality of ScenarioBuilder™.
Scenario recorder
Learn how to quickly and easily create a test scenario using the Scenario Recorder tool in ScenarioBuilder™. This video shows you how Scenario Recorder will automatically capture images, mouse clicks, and keystrokes as you use a web application just as a user would. Creating test scripts couldn’t be simpler!
Execution timeline and SIC
After recording your scenario and playing it back, you can review details of what happened during execution, and you may find that adjustments are needed to ensure that ScenarioBuilder™ will play back your scenarios successfully under all conditions. This video walks you through what to look for after executing your scenario and how to use
Scenario execution timeline
After recording your scenario and playing it back, you can review details of what happened during execution. This video walks you through all of the information available when viewing the Scenario Execution Timeline.
Fixing image failures with SIC
Your script is failing because it can’t find an image. Learn how to access and use Smart Image Configurator from within ScenarioBuilderTM. This video walks you through various methods to access Smart Image Configurator and how to use the various options to ensure success of your find image steps.
Images actions
Images Actions can be used to find icons and fields, click on them, open menus, close windows and more. Edit property values to customize image Actions. Direct mouse clicks to specific areas of an image, or to areas outside of images.
Anchor images
Anchor images provide a reference point for recorded mouse clicks in addition to keeping scenarios synchronized during playback by ensuring that pages load before mouse clicks occur. ScenarioBuilder alerts the user when it’s time to update the anchor image.
Using variable actions
Variables can be utilized in ScenarioBuilder. Use pre-defined variable and user-defined variables stored in CSV files to replicate real world activity. The result of a “Find Image” Action can be used as an “Execution Status” variable.
Conditional statements
Conditional Statements including the “Loop” Action, “Case” and “Switch” Action, and “If-Then-Else” Action allow you to replicate real world behavior in a scenario.
ScenarioBuilder’s hierarchy
Explores how the hierarchy impacts the playback of steps in a scenario. A solid understanding of ScenarioBuilder’s hierarchy structure will provide you with greater flexibility in designing simple to complex scenarios.
Read text into variables
The “Read Text into a Variable” Action copies selected text, or converts selected characters from an image to text (using optical character recognition or “OCR” technology), and stores the value as a variable.
Load image as variable
Images can be used to identify user accounts, items, etc. and loaded as variables to trigger subsequent actions via the “Load an Image into a Variable” Action.
Play script
In ScenarioBuilder, scenarios can be called from other scenarios using the “Play Script” Action. The terms “script” and “scenario” can be used interchangeably. The “Play Script” Action literally plays a scenario.
Create transaction
Explains how Transactions are used to encapsulate actions in ScenarioBuilder and to measure their time elapsed to complete.
