Settings

Extracts all the text from a window and saves it to a string variable.

  • In the Window field, select an option: Choose from the Application, Browser, or Variable tab.
    • Application: Select from a list of windows, including browser windows, that are currently open on the Bot Creator device.
    • Browser: Select from a list of supported browser tabs.
      Note: This option supports Google Chrome, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer browsers.
    • Variable: Select an existing window variable to specify the title of the application window title.
  • (Optional) Select the Resize window option to specify the window dimensions.

    This option delivers a more reliable bot. It resizes the window to the dimensions at which the task was recorded, which enhances the bot's ability to identify the target object.

  • (Optional) Select the Use legacy behavior (same as V11) check box to capture text from a specific window when the Automation Launcher and the target application are running on two different user profiles.

    This feature ensures successful bot run by supporting the same application process run by two users. Also, with the introduction of this new option, the App Integration package supports 32-bit applications and replicates the functionality of Enterprise 11 in Automation 360 when capturing text from a window.

  • In the Save captured text to a variable field, select a string variable.
