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.

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?

Internal business stuff, wouldn’t be appropriate. Setup like any standard internal Sharepoint Team page, with folders/files, etc.

The thing is, I was able to automate using Recorder package while tested with my SharePoint page. I was wondering to see any difference in terms of elements at your end ( which is not the case generally though). Hence why I asked for the screenshot.

What I did was, customised the DOMEXPath to get all items in the page(eg. Each documents within a folder) to loop through one by one.

Hope it is clear enough for you to try.

Do you have an AA code example? Tried working with DomX, but didn’t come away successful.

Here is the customization I did on DOMEXPth to fetch all the available items in the page. You can see the count highlighted here. The same can be used in the capture action.
