This article shows you how to click a button in Aria Digital Workplace Automation.
Purpose
Clicks a button in the current Application or website that has a text value.
Syntax
Click "enter the name of the button to click" button
Example 1
Click "Log In" button
In this command you need to enter the text that appears on the button
Example 2 (click a button with only a partial match of the text)
Click "**New User" button
** will wildcard match the first instance of the text New User found within buttons in the UI. When you use this wildcard put as much as possible in order to ensure it finding the correct button. You can use the wildcard and placement values such as -third (see below) to both find
Example 3 (click a button with an image and no text)
Click a button with an image and no text however the tooltip on hover of “Help”
Click "Help" button
If there is no text on the button example it is a button with an image only. You can use the control ‘tooltip’ that appears when you hover the mouse over the button(if it has a tooltip).
Using /wiki/spaces/CS/pages/2045181957 to click a button when multiple buttons are available
Example 4 (Click a button with the specified nearest value)
Click a button if it named with “Save” button nearest to the text on screen of “New Item”
Click "Save" button -nearest("New Item")
(OPTIONAL) You can use this upper command to determine the nearest value of where the textbox is.. This can help in some cases but is not always required.
Example 5 (click button with specify a row)
Click the "Add" button in the fifth row place on the screen
Click "Add" button -fifth
Inputs/Switches
Input/Switch | Values | Details |
|---|---|---|
Name |
| The text inside the button exactly as shown or the first instance partially matching by using the wildcard prefix of **. |
Placement |
| If there are multiple buttons with the same text you can specify which to click. You can use first, second, third, fourth or fifth. |
Neareast Label |
| If you have multiple buttons with the same text you can help Aria find it by indicating some other text that is unique to that particular part of the screen. |
Key Considerations
If there is no text on the button you wish to click you can specify the text of the tooltip created when you hover over it as the text.
