Capture Screenshots in Robots
When you add an action to a robot, you have several options for capturing screenshots, including capturing a robot's view before and after completing an action.
Why Capture Screenshots?
Screenshots are typically most helpful when you are debugging and troubleshooting a new robot that is failing.
For example, if a robot's credentials don't have the appropriate access, a robot might not be able to see the field it needs to update. A screenshot of the missing field can help you quickly troubleshoot any issues that the robot encounters.
Keep in mind that a robot that captures screenshots sometimes run a little slower and captures more data than a robot that doesn't capture screenshots.
Screenshot Options
Most robot actions include the following options for capturing screenshots:
- Before this action: Take a screenshot of the application before the action occurs.
- After this action: Take a screenshot of the application after the action occurs.
- Specify screenshot type: Select the scope of the screenshot. To capture the entire application screen, select Full page. To capture only the UI element that the action affects, select Action target.
A Screenshot Action Is Also Available
You capture screenshots for robot action to use in troubleshooting. If you need to use a screenshot as part of a robot's or integration's other activities, use the screenshot action. See Add a Screenshot Action
