What is the Zoom Workbook Action?

The Zoom Workbook Action changes the zoom setting of an Excel workbook.

Creating a Zoom Workbook Action

Drag and drop the Selector onto the Targets list in the target workbook to display the available target options. Continue to drag the Selector to the Workbook option. As an alternative, you may also target the Select All button.

Note: The Select All button in an Excel workbook is located in the top-left corner (just left of Column A's column header, and just above Row 1's row header).

If this is the first time the workbook was targeted, Nintex RPA will attempt to create a workbook connection automatically. (For more information about Microsoft Excel workbook connections, read the Excel Connections article.)

A preview of the target is displayed. Select the Zoom Workbook Action from the Actions list

Select the Rules to change the Connection for this Action. Both the Timing  and Error settings for this action may be configured to fine tune the how the Action will run.

Note: For more information about Timing and Error settings, read the Action Builder article.

  • 200
  • 100
  • 75
  • 50

  • Custom

When selecting the Custom option, you will be required to supply a Custom Zoom .

Optionally add Notes to the Action to document any special instructions or functionality. When the Run Switchis set to Run, the action will be executed after clicking OK.
