Selectors in Studio Flashcards

1
Q

What are Selectors?

A
  • A selector in UiPath Studio is a feature that enables the identification of a specific User Interface element through its address and attributes.
  • stored as XML fragments. The element identification is done to perform specific activities in an automation project.
  • Selectors are generated automatically every time we use an activity that interacts with graphical user interface elements.
  • UiPath Studio requires the detailed path to a specific element within the user interface.
