1. Explanation

A selector refers to user interface elements such as buttons in browsers or apps. It is used during operations like clicks or text input within browsers or apps.

2. Activities Using Selectors

Here are some examples of activities that use selectors:

Activity Name
Description
Click
Click on the specified element
Type Into
Input text into the specified element
Check
Check the checkbox of the specified element
Select Item
Select the specified item
Wait Element Exists
Wait until the specified element exists
Get Element
Retrieve the specified element
Send Hot Key
Perform key operations on the specified element

3. How to Use

The following explains how to set up selectors using the “Click” activity.

Since we are using the “Browser” activity, you need to configure the extension beforehand. For details, refer to the articles on “How to Add Chrome Extension for Browser,” “How to Add Edge Extension for Browser,” and “How to Add Firefox Extension for Browser.” The basic procedure is similar for applications.

Selector Setup Method for “Browser > Click (B)” Activity

  1. Click “Pick target element” 
    Drag and drop the “Click (B)” activity onto the designer panel and click “Pick target element.”

  2. Click “Pick target element” on the Popup Screen (Inspector) 
    On the displayed “Selector Editor” screen, click “Pick target element”

  3. Click the Desired Element Switch to the browser screen and hover over the desired element. Ensure the element you want to retrieve is highlighted in red before clicking it.




  4. Click “OK” on the Popup Screen (Selector) After specifying the element, the “Selector” screen will reappear, allowing you to verify the specified element. If no editing of the selector is needed, click the “OK” button.
