Note: MS build tools must be installed before you use this activity. See, Installing vs_buildtools for Desktop Automation.

Inspect functionality

All the activities grouped in the Desktop category, except Open Application, includes the Inspect option. This option identifies the user interface element and registers a Selector. Selectors are utilized for process automation.

When you click on Inspect, the application displays a pop-up window that registers the Selector of the UI element. The pop-up window displays the 'XPath identified' message when an element is clicked. The XPath is automatically added to the activity when you click the Confirm option.
