View All Selectors for a Locator Field

When you target a UI element in the Locator field of a robot action, Oracle Integration automatically captures multiple selectors for the UI element, for all actions except web table. You can view the selectors at any time.

Benefit of Capturing Multiple Selectors

Capturing multiple selectors can reduce the time that you spend troubleshooting targeting issues. For example, when a robot runs, if it can't find the first selector on a web page, the robot attempts to find the second and then third selectors.

Selectors That Are Captured

Every Locator field captures the following values, whether you target the field using the recorder or the low-code tools.

The Locator field and Target selector fields appear for a robot action. The Target selector field contains 3 selector values, which have boxes around them and numerical values (1, 2, and 3) pointing to them.
