Hello-

 

When I use the Get Table command for a table using the Recorder > Capture option in an application called Success Factors I get results that are not visible.  For example, If I have the below one record (my record) in the search results…

 

I see this one record on the Webpage:

 

However, the table returned to Automation Anywhere has a bunch of data for employees that are not visible on the webpage.  I realize that the webpage is probably suppressing these in the background but how do I only access the results that are visible?  Seems a little odd…..

 

 

Is there some type of property I am missing or can set to only see visible records?

@Matt 7768  - Recorder > Capture → Get Table will give all records in the table. 

if you have any input / id to search specific record from table then use DataTable Filter Action.

Hi @Matt 7768 ,

It seems to be a bit weird issue.

Try after changing the Object capturing technology within the capture action.

Hi @Matt 7768 

I’d recommend recapturing the element again, if this is not helping you as @Padmakumar said you can try different technologies and check which is working.

Checkout below documentation to know more,

So I was unable to get the table to behave properly.  However, I found a small results label that I was able to capture and then subsequently Split to identify if there was a result or not.  i.e……

 

Found 1 out of X users

 

 

Thanks so much for the suggestions.  I look forward to participating in this community more in the future, especially once I have a little bit more experience with the software.

 

@Pradeep Kintali - I will definitely use the DataTable Filter option in the future.  Thanks for this useful bit of information.
