Scroll Activity

The Scroll activity enables users to navigate web pages or applications by moving the viewable area up, down, left, or right. This activity facilitates content exploration beyond the initial viewport within a specified application.

Field Description Requirement
Application name Specifies the reference name of the target application or browser instance where the scroll action will be performed. This application must be pre-opened or attached. Required
X-coordinate Defines the horizontal distance, in pixels, by which the page view will shift along the X-axis. A positive value moves the view to the right, and a negative value moves it to the left. Optional
Y-coordinate Defines the vertical distance, in pixels, by which the page view will shift along the Y-axis. A positive value moves the view downwards, and a negative value moves it upwards. Optional
Scroll Direction Determines a predefined direction for page movement (e.g., "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right") within the opened browser or application. This parameter is mutually exclusive with X-coordinate and Y-coordinate. Optional

Action Types & Examples

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Application name: robustaWebpage - X-coordinate: 300 - Y-coordinate: 0 - Scroll Direction: Down

Execution Parameters - Scroll Down by Direction - Application name: myBrowserApp - Scroll Direction: Down - Scroll Right by X-coordinate - Application name: myBrowserApp - X-coordinate: 300 - Scroll Up by Y-coordinate - Application name: myBrowserApp - Y-coordinate: -200 - Scroll Left by X-coordinate - Application name: myBrowserApp - X-coordinate: -150

Technical Notes

The Scroll activity supports movement along a single axis (horizontal or vertical) or a predefined direction at a time. Simultaneous configuration of both X-coordinate and Y-coordinate is not supported. Additionally, if a Scroll Direction is specified, both X-coordinate and Y-coordinate fields must be left blank. For horizontal movement using X-coordinate, the Y-coordinate field must be left blank. For vertical movement using Y-coordinate, the X-coordinate field must be left blank.
