Add a Clear Text Action
The clear text action removes text from a field in a user interface.
Note:
You must use the low-code capabilities to add this action to a robot. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions.- Open the robot to edit.
See Open a Robot.
- Add the action
to the robot.
- On the canvas,
point to an action, and click
+.
A menu of available actions appears.
- Select Clear Text.
A Clear Text action appears on the canvas, and the Clear Text panel appears.
- On the canvas,
point to an action, and click
+.
- In the panel, enter a Name and
Description for the
action.
The Name appears on the action in the canvas and should help you and others understand the goal of the action.
- On the Input tab, specify
input details for the action.
- In another browser window or tab, open the application where the robot works.
- In the robot, click within the Locator field, and
select Target a page element
.
The Target a page element panel appears.
- In the
panel, from the Select browser tab to target drop-down, select the
application where the robot works, and select Go. You might need to
scroll down to find the application.
The application opens.
- In the application where the robot works, point to the field where the
clears text, but don't select it yet.
For example, if the field is shaded purple and the magnifying lens icon appears, don't click yet. The recorder is still collecting information.
- After the
shading turns green, the icon changes to a target, and the mouse icon changes to a hand,
select the UI element.
For more tips, see Quick Start for Building Robots.
The recorder enters a value in the Locator field in the robot.
Tip:
Your settings determine whether Oracle Integration reuses targets for previously selected UI controls. You can override these settings, if needed. Reusing a target offers benefits. For example, you can update a target one time, and all actions that use the target get the update.
- On the Input tab, specify whether to capture any screenshots as part of the action.
- On the Pre Validate and Post Validate tabs, specify whether to complete any validation before and after the action.
- Click OK.
- Above the canvas, select Save.
