Anyone worked with Sharepoint pages and know how to capture a Sharepoint document page to a table to loop over the documents (names) stored there? Cannot get a Capture to work for this scenario.

Did you try using SharePoint command package of Automation Anywhere

That package isn’t available to us currently, will have to find an alternative solution. Wish it was.

Hey ​@Chris 621,
Did you try Simulate Keystrokes action to perform this task?

Keystrokes aren’t going to capture the Sharepoint document files as a table so I can loop through all files to determine which specific ones to work on.

Already stated that we cannot use the Sharepoint package, have to find a different solution.​

For some reason these threads don’t allow you to edit your posts or OP after a very short amount of time, which has been standard practice in most all forums the past 3 decades, thus wasn’t able to edit my comment above to clarify. The mountain we would have to climb to get our IT security to setup the ability to use the Sharepoint package would be futile, thus my question of alternative solutions. Thanks.

Can you provide a screenshot of the SharePoint page where you are trying to automate?
