The following activity illustrates how we will be using the get attributes activity to retrieve the attribute of the element “products and platforms” from the webpage https://www.sutherlandglobal.com/.
Example:
Here we are going to automate the process of getting attributes of a specified element. It presents activities such as Get attributes, Message log, date table viewer.
1. Open a project and create a workflow
2. Drag and drop the get attributes activity from the web automation feature.
3. Double click the activity and select the element “Products and platforms “from the webpage for which the attribute needs to be retrieved.
4. Select the element from the webpage and choose the attributes. Click on export.
5. Once exported you can choose the variable that you wish to see as output from the drop-down list in the select element screen. Here we choose the element “Class”.
6. Then we need to create variables for the attributes and attribute value to complete the workflow.
7. While creating the variable you can either choose a variable from the existing values or type a new variable and press” CTRL+Q” to save the variable.
