Web Table
Description
Web Table extracts data from an HTML table on a web page into workflow output fields in a Web GUI [Classic] workflow. Use this step when you need to retrieve specific column values from a table without looping — for example, pulling a single row's data or reading specific columns from the entire table in one pass. It supports a Swift Mode option for faster table reading. Unlike Web Loop Table, this step does not require a loop structure and is better suited for straightforward, one-time data extraction.
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. |

| 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” |
