In addition to Johan's answer I would recommend using the collection manipulation object for question 4. It can be found Digital Exchange or with the link below:
https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/3439/solution/utility---collection-manipulation

It gives you a lot of benefit in terms of working with collection without knowning the specific codes.

5. Surface Automation there is an option to select the position of your image. When you select Anywhere it will search the image in the entire region.
and for the color, there is an Option of Colour Tolerance and Grayscale option that you can explore.
You can check in detail the course on surface automation at blue prism university.

Hi Varun,

On 1 and 2, the only way I am aware of is to use the Tracking Id feature found in latest versions of Blue Prism. For v6, it is a bit tricky as you must disable fixed port mode, and that itself may lead to some issues.

In addition to the above, there are also some other considerations to think of:

You must use Blue Prism native Launch action, as it is the only action that generates a Tracking Id. Launching by starting the browser process using a uitility VBO for example will not work.
You must keep track of all Tracking Ids generated over time, and use the correct one for interactions. It is not possible to use an ordinal number like 1st or 2nd window/tab as you described.

There may be other considerations when it comes to close those browser sessions selectively.

All in all, it is not very easy to achieve what you wanted, and most of such use cases can be avoided by redesigning the process to work with a single instance of the browser at a time. I would suggest you consider a different approach if possible.
