* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow
Here’s an example of how the “MoveTo” activity works –
In the following example, I am going to automate a simple example utilizing the
“PowerPoint” application to move the cursor using the “MoveTo” and then perform
the click action using the “Click” activity.
1. Create a solution for building a workflow.
2. Install the "Mouse Automation" feature from the "Manage Features" menu.
3. Drag and drop the "MoveTo" activity onto the designer pane and set it
as start node.
a. Double-click the activity.
b. Here, I am choosing the “Three dots” adjacent to the option to choose the
“X and Y” co-ordinates.
c. Navigating to the PowerPoint application, once the timer ends, snipping
over the specified area to choose the coordinates.
d. The “PointX and PointY” field will be auto- filled once the image has
been captured.
4. Now, you can execute the workflow and validate that the cursor is being moved.
5. To continue, refer the “Click” activity in “Mouse Automation”.
