Chapter 8: Exploring UiPath Selectors

Selectors are one of the major and most important topics when it comes to automation. Selectors are automatically created using standard XML code, which identifies the user interface elements. The XML code consists of several nodes, which is a combination of tags and attributes in a structured and hierarchical order.

In this chapter, you will learn what selectors are, how they work, and how to use the correct selector types and settings when automating. You will learn about the user interface, how to perform element exploration, and how to fine-tune selectors to improve the accuracy of element identification.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Tags and attributes of selectors
  • Selector Editor
  • UI Explorer
  • Full versus partial selectors
  • Dynamic selectors
  • An example implementation of dynamic selectors using Packtpub.com
