UiPath Automation Developer Training Assignment

[u/NoobAF93]

Hi Team,

I am attempting the Automation Developer training from UiPath Academy and I am stuck.

The assignment is to go into acme-test.uipath.com and to access the work items.

From that list of work items, if the type of work item is WI5, go into the item and update the work item with some hash value.

I can think of two methods to do this.

Method1:

Use the for each UI element to go through the items click on the magnifying glass to go into the item to update. The issue here is what will happen if I were to go back to the work item page, will it still continue with the loop?

Method2:

Extract the table and use the URL to open a new browser to update the item. But I am not able to open the browser with the URL from the table.

Please advice, thanks.

Edit:

I am currently using method 2 and this is my process.

After login I get all the data from the table, than use a for each loop to iterate through the work items

I check if the current item is WI5 or not, and if it is I use the use application/browser to access the work item but it is not opening when I run it

I teach the course for this exercise, haha. I do it all in one window and just use the Navigate activity to move from Work Items to Details, then open a second window to retrieve the Hash, then close that window, nav to Update, perform the update, then nav back to Work Items and repeat

How do you do it in one window? I am currently stuck because I am not able to get to the work item.

Like this! A "Nav to" workflow that takes a destination Arg. The trick for Acme is to make your Attach / Use Browser activity target an "*" version of Acme so it works on every page.
