Adding a Set of Window Detection Data

For some windows, the window class, caption, or URL changes when the wizard is played in a different environment than recorded. Nintex Studio enables you to add multiple sets of window detection data, such as window class or URL information, to a step to ensure that the robot detects the recorded window in different environments.

When a step contains multiple sets of window detection data, the window will be detected if it matches all the active properties of any of the sets.

To add a set of window data to the selected step:

  1. Go to the Window tab of the Flow Pane

  2. Click the Insert button, and select Window data

    A new set of window data appears, containing the relevant properties (based on whether the recorded windows is a desktop application or web application)

  3. For each set of window data, add/remove the relevant details (see Editing Window Properties)

  4. Results:

    • The window data is updated

    • If this window data is being updated for the first time, Studio prompts you to add a rule

    • If the window in this step is shared by other steps in the current wizard, Studio prompts you to apply the change to all similar steps

To remove a set of window detection data, click on the Window data heading for that set, then click the button.

  • When there is only one set of window data for the step, the button will not be available.
