Add a Clear Text Action
The clear text action removes text from a field in a user interface.
Note:
You must use the low-code capabilities to add this action to a robot. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions.- Open the robot to edit.
- In the navigation pane, select Projects.
- Select the project name.
- In the left toolbar, select Robot .
- In the Robots box, select the
robot to open.
The canvas appears.
- Add the action
to the robot.
- On the canvas,
point to an action, and click
+.
A menu of available actions appears.
- Select Clear Text.
A Clear Text action appears on the canvas, and the Clear Text panel appears.
- On the canvas,
point to an action, and click
+.
- In the panel, enter a Name and
Description for the
action.
The Name appears on the action in the canvas and should help you and others understand the goal of the action.
- On the Input tab, specify
input details for the action.
- In another browser window, open the application that the robot needs to work in.
- In the
robot, click within the
Locator field, and select
Target a page element
.
The Target a page element panel appears.
- In the
Target a page element panel, open the
Select browser tab to
target drop-down, select the
application that you want to work in, and select
Go. You might need to
scroll down to find the application.
The application that the robot needs to work in opens.
- In the application that the robot needs to work in, point to the field
from which the robot needs to clear text, but don't select the field
yet.
For example, do not select the UI element while the magnifying lens icon appears and the field is shaded purple. The recorder is still collecting information about the UI element.
- After the icon
changes to a target, the shading turns green, and
the mouse icon changes to a hand, select the UI
element.
For more tips, see Quick Start for Building Robots.
The recorder enters a value in the Locator field in the robot.
Tip:
Your settings determine whether Oracle Integration reuses targets for previously selected UI controls. You can override this setting, if needed. Reusing a target offers benefits. For example, you can update a target one time, and all robots that use the target get the update.
- On the Input tab, specify whether to capture any screenshots as part of the action.
- On the Pre Validate and Post Validate tabs, specify whether to complete any validation before and after the action.
- Click OK.
- Above the canvas, select Save.
