Use Case of Image Recognition Command with Explanation

First Use Case of Image Recognition Command

The Inventory manager needs to create a new vendor on their inflow application,
which is rich with visual elements, every time the company recruits a new vendor.

Solution

Use Image Recognition command to automate the actions performed on the inflow application.

Process Step Flow

->Open inflow application-> Click on vendor icon on the application.

Benefits Of Using The Command:

Image Recognition command allows you to locate an image after the image might be moved.
For example, from one location on a web page to another.
It also allows you to use Image based automation when application UI elements may not be available for automation.
For example, when application is exposed over Citrix or when application accessed from RDP, or
when object detection is not as reliable such as legacy applications, you can use the Image Recognition command.

Note:

Remember to: Specify options such as Match Percentage and Comparison Mode to locate the image at run time.
Use the 'Quick Test' button to quickly ascertain the output is as required. This eliminates the need to run the entire test.

Explanation Of Image Recognition Command from Workbench Command Library

How do you automate processes of applications that uses visual elements?

To automate such applications, Automation Anywhere command provides Image Recognition command that search and captures various images of
different sizes using the HiDPI display within the application window.

It also allows you to compare images to ensure the right image has been captured.

You can use this command to:

-> Locate an image that has been moved.
-> Automate applications where UI elements may not be available.
-> Check whether an image exists within another image.
-> Compare current application screen to an expected application screen, as well as ensure that all user interface elements are valid.
-> Perform a click on an image if it is found within the source image.
Note: In order to locate the image at run time, it is important to specify match percentage,
tolerance comparison mode and quick test in the image recognition command.

$$$ A 100 percent match percentage means none of the pixels should mismatch between the two images.

Comparison Mode:

It provides four options to select from.

Advanced is the default and recommended mode of comparison.
It provides accurate results especially if the screen resolution, zooming or application scaling is subject to change.

Normal Mode compares the RGB components of the pixels with the source image.

Gray Scaled mode converts pixels to an appropriate level of gravy scale prior to comparing.

Monochrome mode with threshold converts pixels to either black or white prior to comparing.

Once you have chosen your option and set the variables,
use the Quick Test button to quickly ensure the correct image is captured.
This is similar to an actual test and eliminates the need to run the entire test.

Explanation Of Loop Command

✒ When Automating a business process, you may need to process data repeatedly
until certain condition is met.This is repeatedly processing a data until a certain condition is met is called loop.

✒ This command creates loop structures in your automation task to automate repetitive tasks by:

⚔️ Using start and end loop commands
⚔️ Including series of commands within the start and end loop commands,
which are executed repeatedly until a specific condition is met.
⚔️ Executing multiple records one at a time.


✒ Automation Anywhere's Loop Command provides four different loop structures to automate repetitive tasks.

These includes:

⚔️ Start Loop
⚔️ End Loop
⚔️ Exit Loop
⚔️ Continue Loop

✒ Start Loop Command enables you to start the loop.
You can define a series of actions to automate repetitive tasks within this structure.
These actions will be repetitively executed until the condition is met.
✒ End Loop Command enables you to end the loop after the actions defined between the start and end loops are completed.
This command is inserted automatically within the start loop command.

If the End loop is mistakenly deleted, you can insert a new one.

✒ The Exit Loop structure enables you to break out from a loop when an action or condition occurs.
The Exit loop command can exist only between start and End loop commands.

✒ The Continue structure enables you to continue the next iteration of a loop when an action or condition occurs.
When the structure is executed,the commands up to end loop are skipped and next iteration of the loop is run.

✒ Start Loop: It provides a list of sub-commands to create a series of action to automate a repetitive task.

✒ The Times sub-command enables you to specify the number of times to loop through a specific task.

✒ The List sub-command enables you to select an existing variable from the drop down list,
which will determine how many times the tasks are repeated before ending the loop.

✒ The Conditions sub command allows you to run actions based on conditions that already exist.

E✒ ach row in excel datasheet sub command is used in conjunction with the Get multiple Cells sub-command of the Excel command.

✒ Each row in an internet explorer table is used in conjunction with the extract table sub command of the web recorder command.

✒ Each row in S-Q-L Query data set is used in conjunction with various database commands.
It iterates the loop until the selected data is populated'in S-Q-L data set.

✒ Each File in a Folder is used to perform an action on all files in a folder.
The number of files in a folder can vary.

✒ Each folder in a Folder is used to perform an action on one or more of the folders.
It iterates the loop until the last sub folder of the selected folder.

✒ Each row in a CSV or Text file is used to perform an action on every row in a CSV or Text file.

✒ Each node in an XML data set is used to perform an action XML data set.
It iterates the loop until the last row of the data in the XML data set.


Each email message on server is used to perform an action on email messages in an email server.
It iterates the loop until the last email message on the server depending on the various conditions.

Explanation Of Variables in Automation Anywhere

✔️ Variables are one of the most important aspect of programming as they help to
store information that are subject to change during program execution.

✔️ Similarly, during process automation, you may need to store information
which may need to be manipulated,fetched or transferred to another application.

✔️ Due to this reason, Automation Anywhere provides variables to store values
that can change depending on conditions or on information passed during task execution.

★ Note: Information in the variables may change, but the variable name will not change.
✔️ Based on the declaration of the variables, Automation Anywhere defines two types of variables.

✔️ These include Local or User defined variables and Default or system variables.

✔️ The System or Default variables are pre-defined by Automation Anywhere.
As the name suggests,they are by default available when you install
the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Client application and available in all tasks.

✔️ On the other hand, Local or User defined variables are declared by the user
who record the task.These variables are available only within the task it is created.

Note:

★ For all Automation Anywhere commands,variables are supported in fields that have the light bulb symbol present.
★ Use "F2" function key to select and insert the required variable from the list of variables available.

✔️ Based on the values that local variables hold, there are four types of local variables.

Ⅰ. List
Ⅱ. Array
Ⅲ. Value
Ⅳ. Random

Ⅰ.List: It holds multiple values in single dimension. It is used for retrieving multiple values,
one by one, such as sending email to multiple recipients, passing different values inside of a loop,
and searching multiple web addresses.

Ⅱ.Array: It is a multi-dimensional variable that holds multiple values in rows and columns.
These are used for:

💎 Extracting data from web pages.
💎 Extracting many rows of data from an excel spreadsheet or a database.
💎 Reading or writing data from/to a legacy system, an ERP system, or another application.
💎 Filling out order form with different fields from excel to database.

Ⅲ.Value: It is created when a user needs to hold a single value and use it in multiple places.

Ⅳ.Random: These are useful when you need to generate a random string or random number.

✔️ These are commonly used in Strings which generates test data as input for fields or forms;
or Numerical which generates ID numbers in batch.

💻 Variable Manager Tab:


✔️ You can use the variable Manager tab to create new user variables.
These variable manager tab also allows you to modify,delete,copy and paste the variables within the automation tasks.

✔️ By default variable manager displays two pre-defined user variables, which include my-list variable and prompt assignment.

✔️ Use the my-list-variable if you need to store list of values and use the prompt assignment variable to store a single value.

✔️ You can also use the variable manager tab to view the list of variables that Automation Anywhere provides.
Just click on show system variables link to check the available System variable to be used to automate a task.


💻 Variable Operation Command:

✔️ This Command allows you to assign or reset Local variables.

✔️ Sometimes, when recording a task, you may need to reinitialize the value of a local variable
to reuse it in another instance within the same task. In such cases,
you can use Automation Anywhere variable operation command that allows you to assign or reset a local variable.

✔️ This command can also be used to reset the value of, not all, but for few system variables.
