Browser automation (iexplore)

VratHimbo — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Hi all,
I am trying to understand thoroughly the web automation (iexplore), in particular when it is good to use the win32 mode spying mode? In what cases?
And then, imagine i have four different screen on my web page, and i'm using always the same object, is a good practice to call the same attach page with all the windows title in a collection?

If you have some documentation (except the best practice, i've just read this) i appreciate if you can link some documentation about that.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vrat,

I would recommend reading the latest version of the modern browser training guide as Internet explorer has now been replaced by Microsoft Edge. The training guide can be found in the learning section. It's named "Blue Prism Modern Browser Automation".
As for the 4 screens, if you meant 4 screens from a website and NOT 4 sub-screens of a single page, it's best practice to create one object for each page/screen.
You can have one object with basic actions such as launch, attach, close/terminate. Once you attach to an application, you can then navigate to the correct page you wish to go to.

The pdf can be found below:

Make sure that you have the correct browser version for the correct BP extension by following these simple steps below:

I hope it helps.
