Can save the bot those couple mins of effort. This logic usually helps when you're dealing with a continuously running automations and need to have target applications open constantly.<BR /><BR />hope this helps.</P><BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Harpreet Kaur<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Tue, 11 Aug 2020 23:48:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Timeout-Set-at-beginning-and-end-of-Page-on-Object-Studio/m-p/83682#M34924 HarpreetKaur 2020-08-11T23:48:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Timeout-Set-at-beginning-and-end-of-Page-on-Object-Studio/m-p/83683#M34925 Kia Ora Harpreet<BR /><BR />Thank you for that explanation.<BR /><BR />Regards<BR />Ruku<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Ruku I'Anson<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:33:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Timeout-Set-at-beginning-and-end-of-Page-on-Object-Studio/m-p/83683#M34925 RukuI_Anson 2020-08-12T04:33:00Z
