This action identifies the checkbox present in the specified cell and performs the selection. * **Output Value**: {Status} * The result of the checkbox selection is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable, with the following possible values: * **True**: If the checkbox is selected successfully. * **False**: If the checkbox is not selected successfully. * **Logical Explanation**: The **Select Checkbox** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**4;5**). It locates the grid cell positioned at row 4 and column 5, identifies the checkbox object present within that cell, and performs the selection action. The result of this operation (**True**) is stored in the **{Status}** variable.
### **Example 2: Selecting a Checkbox from a Specific Section of a Grid using Optional Parameters** In this example, we are explaining how to perform a checkbox selection within a specific cell of a captured grid. * **Action:** Select Checkbox * **Input Value:** 3;2;header;left * The first argument (**3**) specifies the row number. * The second argument (**2**) specifies the column number where the checkbox is located. * The third argument (**header**) directs the action to retrieve the cell from the header section of the grid instead of the default body section. * The fourth argument (**left**) specifies that the action focuses on the left section of the grid when identifying the checkbox. * **Output Value:** {Status} * The result of the checkbox selection is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable, with the following possible values: * **True:** If the checkbox is selected successfully. * **False:** If the checkbox is not selected successfully. * **Logical Explanation:** The **Select Checkbox** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**3;2;header;left**). It targets the grid cell positioned at row 3 and column 2, specifically within the header area and on the left side of the grid. After the appropriate cell is identified, the action locates the checkbox object within it and performs the selection. The result of this operation (**True**) is then stored in the **{Status}** variable.
