HI @SaiRahul02 ,

 

Why don’t you follow the below approach?

  •  Use Currently Active Window and then capture the object.
  •  In case if user wants to run this task in unattended mode and other applications are also open with the current application then we need to use below approach:

Try to activate the currently active window where you need to perform the functions using Windows Actions → Activate Window command and build the code accordingly.​

Even for activating window, we need to give the title of the window right ?

 

 

Not obviously. You can either mention the Window name or can use the Currently Active option.

 

can’t get it

Thank you so much. Will try. And also, when I use ‘Go back’ action for a window in chrome, it is saying that browser is not supported. Why so ?

From where are you getting this Go back option? Is it from the portal?

I’m talking about separate action ‘Go back’ in windows action items.

In Browser Actions, not in window actions
