Calendar Date selection

[Anonymous]

I have a field on a webpage wherein I have to select a calendar date. . There is a date picker icon clicking which a new calendar window pops up. I am able to identify the whole calendar using any HTML mode. Keystrokes does not work The date needs to be selected from there using mouse clicks only as keyboard keys do not work. How do I select a particular date. How do I go about it?

Calendars can be painful to deal with, so always look to see if it is possible to enter the date without opening the calendar. If this isn't an option then unfortunately you will have to model the calendar, and as Bastiaan says, look to use dynamic attributes instead of modelling every button.

I am facing the same issue as mentioned above. The date has to be selected from calendar only and the value cannot be passed using keyboard keys. Can anyone please explain how to map the pop-up calendar in blue prism and the steps to make path for clicking on date item dynamically. Looking forward for your response.

Every calander is different, but what John is talking about is mapping the day numbers dynamically - so the attribute that holds the day text is dynamic. Your logic will then need to navigate to the correct month using clicks and reads and then click on the day using your dynamic attribite. This takes persistence - there is no easy fix. It takes a wile to figure out the best way of interfacing with a new calander element.

spy the text field where you have to write the date as you told you are not able to write date manually into the field use BP write stage to write in the same format as the calendar does might work for you.It worked for me in the java applet.

I am seeing the same issues described above - however, we were able to get it to work whilst running it on the runtime. When running via the control room or headless, it fails. Any ideas on why one of these (This is siebel) wouldn't work headless?
