Web element - a resource that stores information about a unique element on a web page (text field/button/text block).

Actions from the «Browsers» group use parameters from web elements to detect these elements in the window and further work with them.

Web recorder - a convenient tool for recording user actions in the browser.

The Recorder records user manipulations in the browser and automatically adds certain actions to the robot’s scheme in the Studio. Actions recorded in this way are placed at the end of the robot’s scheme.

  1. Web recorder records user actions and sends them to Robin Studio using Web Sockets technology.
  2. In Robin Studio, a resource with the type «web element» is created.
  3. Based on the parameters from the web element, the corresponding action is called and placed on the workspace.
  4. The action parameters are filled with the parameters from the web element ("Default attribute" by default).
  5. When the action is executed, the software accesses the parameters of the web element.

All added actions are automatically pre-filled with input parameters obtained from the browser. If a parameter is not found by the action, the next parameter from the web element is automatically selected. The web element has several parameters, and at the bottom of the «Adding a new resource» window, there is a drop-down list where you can choose which parameter to use for searching the element (element name, xpath, selector, etc.). For example, if CSS Selector is selected in the field, and the element was not found using it, it does not mean that the element will not be found. The software will perform a search using the next parameter, such as Xpath.
