First, fill in the Application path. 2:17 Close Application Use the Terminate process action to close all instances of an application. 5:25 Click UI element in window To click a button in an application the Click UI element in window action is used. Find the button in your application and press Ctrl + the left mouse button. It's best practice to rename the UI elements to make the process easier to maintain and update. 6:26 Create a Dynamic Selector Dynamic selectors are very powerful, as they allow us to move away from a static solution. We use a variable in the selector. 10:58 Extract data from window The Extract data from a window is used to extract data from a window. Create a UI element, and the result will be stored in a variable. 12:48 Get subtext Use the Get subtext action to manipulate text and get a part of the text. Remember that the character position is zero-indexed. #office365 #powerautomate #microsoft
