Set Value

UiPath.Semantic.Activities.NSetValue

Description

Uses AI to seamlessly set a value on any input field: input box, drop-down, check box, radio buttons, date picker.

It can be used only on Chrome Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Uses the same functionality as Fill Form, but on element level.

Instead of using other activities for specific input fields (for instance, Type Into for input boxes, Check/Uncheck for check boxes, etc.), you can use a single generic Set Value activity. It can also deal with date pickers and groups of radio buttons.

This activity must be added inside a Use Application/Browser activity.

This activity is compatible with Object Repository.

Configuration

• Indicate target on screen - Indicate the UI element to use as target.

  After you indicate the target, select the plus button to access the following options:

  • Indicate target on screen - Indicate the target again.
  • Edit target - Open the selection mode to configure the target.
• Value - The value set on the field. This field accepts only String variables.
  If the indicated target is a checkbox, these are the accepted values:

  • True: "true", "yes", "checked", "x"
  • False: "false", "no", "unchecked"
• Enable validation - Enables execution validation for the run-time value is the toggle button is set to On. An exception is thrown if the internal validation mechanism detects an invalid value after the execution. The default option is Off.

Additional options

Timings

• Delay before - Delay (in seconds) between the time the previous activity is completed and the time this activity begins performing any operations. The default value is 0.2 seconds. Adding a delay between activities ensures that one activity has enough time to complete before the next activity begins.

• Delay after - Delay (in seconds) between the time this activity is completed and the time the next activity begins any operations. The default value is 0.3 seconds. Adding a delay between activities ensures that one activity has enough time to complete before the next activity begins.

• Timeout - Specify the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the activity to be executed before throwing an error. The default value is 30 seconds.

• Continue on error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
