Example: Selecting an Item from a Dropdown or List using an Absolute Value

In this example, we explain how to select an item from a dropdown or list based on the provided text value.

• Action: Select Based on Absolute Value

• Input Value: NARMAD CENTRAL LIBRARY

  • The argument (NARMAD CENTRAL LIBRARY) specifies the exact text value that should be matched and selected from the list or dropdown element.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The execution result of the selection action is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable with the following possible values:

    • True: If the item is selected successfully.
