Web Loop Table

Description

Web Loop Table iterates through rows of an HTML table on a web page, processing one row per loop iteration and extracting values from specified columns in a Web GUI [Classic] workflow. Use this step when your workflow needs to read and act on tabular data — such as processing order lines, validating list entries, or extracting records — directly from a web application. It works within a loop structure: when you add the step to the canvas, a Continue step is also created automatically. You can configure it to process all rows, a specific number of first or last rows, or only rows that meet a defined condition. A Swift Mode option (enabled by default) speeds up table reading. After all specified rows are processed, execution continues along the false path with the input row and any additional fields you defined.

Configurations

Field Name	Description
Web Browser Name	You can select any one Web Browser Name from the given list. Basically, you must select the same Web Browser Name which was selected in Start Browser Step.

Web Table Tab:

Field Name	Description

Criteria*	Choose the element locator from the list.
Criteria value	Provide the value of the element locator to search with.
Multiple elements with same criteria	Check this option if there are multiple web elements in the web page having same criteria value you have specified. By default, it will be unchecked.

*Criteria The table below contains the description of criteria.

Field Name	Description
Xpath	Xpath defines the hierarchy of the tags through which you can reach to a particular element. For example /html/body/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/span/span
Id	Id attribute of a web element can be best way to identify an element if it is present and is going to constant and unique. There are cases however when it is either absent or its value changes every time you access the application in the browser
Name	Name is another attribute of a web element which can be used to identify an element.
Link Text	If a HTML page contains a hyperlink element <a href=www.google.com>Search On Google</a>, you can identify this href element by providing complete text ‘Search On Google’ as the Link value.
Partial Link text	This criterion is same as Link, just that, in this case, you can give partial string for finding a match
Tag Name	Every HTML element has a tag associated with it. The element can be located using that tag name. For example, textbox has a tag <input>.
Class Name	Class name is the css class associated with an HTML element. If there is a div element <div class=’someclass’>MyDiv</div>, you can locate it by giving class name ‘someclass’.
Css Selector	This criterion is useful when an HTML element has multiple associated css classes. Consider an HTML element <div class="btn primary-btn submit"></div>. To identify this div element you can use Css selector as “.btn.primary-btn.submit”
