Screen resolution dependent packages

The screen resolution between the Bot Runner and Bot Creator device should be consistent as when resolution-dependent packages are used to build bots, any screen resolution difference between the Bot Creator and Bot Runner device will impact the bots during runtime.

Ensure the resolution settings on Bot Creator and Bot Runner devices match when you create and run bots. Review the table given below for information on the resolution-dependent packages and their attributes.

Package Effects of display parameter changes Resolution-dependent attributes
Image Recognition If we use the Image Recognition package in a computer that has a different resolution, scaling, or zooming than the resolution that was configured in the system, it can affect the output as it works on image pixel values and the features.

For RDP machines, when you configure Image Recognition package in a different machine and run it on an RDP machine with same resolution and scaling, and if RDP is using a different display driver, the capture might not be accurate. It can render image with slightly different pixel values that can cause a reduction of matching percent.

X, Y, width, and height
Mouse The Mouse > Click action requires X and Y co-ordinates to capture the UI element. If there is a change in screen resolution, scaling, or zooming, the coordinates might move, and it might click different coordinates. Due to this, the Click action will fail to capture the specific UI element. If you are using the RDP machine with the same resolution, scaling, or zooming then it will not create any issue as the Mouse package does not depend on the pixel value. X, Y
App Integration The App Integration > Capture area action requires X and Y co-ordinates to capture the text from a window. Any change in screen resolution, scaling, or zooming might cause change in the coordinates, and the correct text is not captured. In the RDP machine, use same resolution, scaling, and zooming so that you do not encounter any issues. X, Y, width, and height
Screen The Screen > Capture area action requires X and Y co-ordinates to capture the screenshot of the application window area. Use the same resolution and scaling in the RDP machine so that the output is not affected. X, Y, width, and height
OCR The OCR > Capture area action uses the X and Y co-ordinates to extract text from a specified area in the selected window. Ensure you have the same resolution, scaling, and zooming in the RDP machine so that extraction of the text is not affected. X, Y, width, and height
