Set Resolution

The Set Resolution action sets the screen resolution. This action is helpful when you are working with an application and the targeting tool is missing the target. It is also useful when you are using Remote Desktop Protocol. You can also use the Maximize Window action to maximize the target window.

Note: The Actions Quick Reference provides a complete list of actions that you can print for easy reference.
