* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow.

Use Case

The following use case demonstrates how the WebAutomation feature works. The
Excel file contains a list of cities that will serve as an input to find the distance between
each pair of cities in kilometers and miles using the https://www.distancecalculator.net/
website. The resulting values for kilometers and miles will be updated in the same input
file under their respective columns.

Here, we have utilized the following activities to construct the workflow. Now, let's dive
into the steps.

Steps to build a workflow

1.    Create a new solution named "DC."

2.    Drag and drop an "Open Browser" activity, and then double-click on the activity
       to enter the URL as "https://www.distancecalculator.net/."

3.    Place a "GetExcelObject" activity next to the "Open Browser" activity and select
       the input file path containing the list of inputs.
       a)    Now, add a "ReadRanges" activity within the scope to read the data within
       specific cell ranges.
       b)    Specify the Range. I have designated the range as "A2:B5," as the input
       data begins from column "A2" and extends to row "B5." Mention the sheet name
       as “Sheet1” where the data is available.
       c)    Create a DataTable variable to store the read data. In this case, the DataTable
       property variable is named "RR." 

Click here to know how to declare a variable.

4.    Next to the excel object drag and drop the “ForEach” activity to iterate and write
       each value which has been extracted from the website as we need to update the
       two values against each pair which is “Km” and “Miles”.

5.    Enter the value as “RR.AsEnumerable()” as the input here will be “RR” in which
       we stored the read variable over there and “. Asenumerable()” is used to convert
       the datatable into sequence of rows for the input in For Each activity.
        a)    The RR.AsEnumerable() values has been assigned to the “Item.”
        b)    Select the “TypeArgument” as “System.Data.Datarow” as we are going to
        read & write the values from row wise.

6.    Drag and drop the “SetText” activity to the workflow where we need to set the
       values that will be read and assigned to the “Item.”

       a.    Double-click on the SetText activity and then click on “Select Element.”
       b.    It will navigate to the page where we want to inspect the element. Here,
              I have detected the “City distance from” text box, where we need to enter the
             “From City.”
       c.    Once we have detected the element, the spy window will be automatically
              populated. You can proceed with the default selected attribute value, or you
              can adjust the attributes based on your preference. In this case, the attribute
              value has not been changed and used the default value of “Tag.” Afterwards,
              click on the “Save” button. Now, the identified element will be stored in the
              activity.
       d.    Enter the “InputString” parameter as “Item(0).ToString()”, as I am reading the
              input from “A2.” Therefore, the value starts from index “0”.
       e.    Place the "Delay 1S" activity right after the SetText activity. Alternatively, you
              can manage the "WaitTime" within the SetText activity itself by adjusting the
              values in the "DelayAfter" and "DelayBefore" fields. The default value will be
              set in milliseconds.
        g.    Drag and drop the SetText activity after the Delay activity.
             i.   Double-click on the SetText activity and then click on “Select Element.”
             ii.  It will navigate to the page where we want to inspect the element. Here, I have
             located the “City distance to” text box, where we need to enter the “ToCity.”
             iii. Once we have located the element, the spy window will be automatically
             populated.You can proceed with the default selected attribute value, or you can
             adjust the attributes based on your preference. In this case, I have not changed the
             attributes and using the default value of “Tag.” Afterward, click on the “Save” button.
             Now, the identified element will be stored in the activity.
             iv.  Enter the “InputString” parameter as “Item(1).ToString()”, as I am reading
             the input from “B2.” Therefore, the value starts from index “1.”

7.    Drag and drop the "Delay 1S" activity next to the SetText activity.

8.    Place the "Click" activity after the Delay activity. This activity is used to click on
       the "Find" button in order to retrieve the distance between the cities.
       a.    Double click on the activity and click on “SelectElement.”
       b.    Go to the browser where you need to click on the element. Perform a spy
       on the "Find" button. In this case,we have not made any changes to the attribute
       values and proceeding with the default selected value.

9.    Drag and drop the "Delay 1S" activity next to the “Click” activity.

10.  Place the "GetText" activity after the "Delay" activity. Then, double-click on the
       activity and select "SelectElement." Navigate to the browser where you need to
       retrieve the value.
       a.    During this process, I have spied the Kilometer value and stored it in the
       "GetText" activity as "Km" by declaring the variable under the "Text" property. 

Click here to know how to declare a variable.

       b.    Include a "WriteLine" activity to view the stored value from the "GetText"
       activity. Double-click on the activity and pass the value as "Km."
       c.    Drag and drop an additional "GetText" activity and position it next to the
        "WriteLine" activity. Spy on the miles value and store it in the "GetText" activity as
        "Miles" by declaring the variable under the "Text" property.
       d.    Add a "WriteLine" activity to display the stored value from the "GetText" activity.
       Double-click on the activity and pass the value as "Miles."

11.  Add “Delay1S” next to the “GetText” activity.

12.  Position the "GetExcelObject" next to the "GetText" activity and select the input file
       path that contains the list of inputs.

       a.    Drag and drop the "WriteCell" activity into the scope. Specify the cell value as
       "C" +Counter.ToString, as the Kilometer header is located in the "C" column.
       b.    Transfer the stored value from "GetText" to the "WriteCell" activity and enter the
       "InputString" value as "Km."
       c.    Indicate the sheet name as "Sheet1," where the data is available.
       d.    The purpose of utilizing a counter is to increment the values for the "WriteCell"
       activity. To achieve this, include an "Assign" activity. Before that, declare a variable
       named "Counter" and select the data type as "Int32." The reason for choosing the
       integer data type is that we are incrementing the value, and specify the default value
       as "2," considering the header as 1. Refer 13th point how to assign the counter increment 
       value in the assign activity. 
       e.    Drag and drop the "WriteCell" activity into the scope. Specify the cell value as "D" +
       Counter.ToString,as the miles header is located in the "D" column.
       f.    Transfer the stored value from "GetText" to the "WriteCell" activity and enter the
       "InputString" value as "Miles"

13.  Place the Assign activity next to the GetExcelObject scope and input the declared
       variable, in this case,"Counter." Specify the "To" value as "Counter," and set the "Value"
       as "Counter + 1". 

14.  Finally, drag and drop a close tab activity below this complete sequence. Double click on
       it and enter the URL of the distance calculator webpage to be closed.
