Blue Prism Foundation Training - Missing "launch" action

[SimoneWolfowicz]

Hi all,

in section 6 - navigate stage of the Blue Prism Foundation Training, the video shows that there sould be an action "launch" available to use in the navigation stage. I do not have it (see attached snapshot) and if I try to use the "activate application" action then of course execution fails if application is not running. 

Any thought?

Cheers,
Simone

Hi Simone,

The 'Launch' action on the navigate stage will appear if you assign the root element node which in your case should be 'centrix' instead of 'Log in'. Can you drag the 'centrix' element instead of the 'Log in' element from the Application Explorer tab in the left hand pane and check the action dropdown again?

Just to add all the basic actions such as 'Launch', 'Terminate', 'Attach' and 'Detach' are associated with the root element of any application tree.

Let us know if that helps.
