Registration Loop

[Boomerang]

Folks:


Each week I have to register for a bunch of online classes. The registration page consists of 2 columns of data. The first column shows the NAME of the class. The other column has a "REGISTER" hyperlink for me to click if I choose to register for that particular class. Each row of the table has CLASS NAME and the REGISTER hyperlink. The table has about 10 rows.

It is easy to record the registration process for one class. But how do I tell the AA software to go to the next row and click on REGISTER ?

-------------- --------------
NAME REGISTRATION
-------------- --------------
Course # 1 REGISTER
Course # 2 REGISTER
Course # 3 REGISTER
Course # 4 REGISTER
.................................................. ...
Course # 9 REGISTER
Course # 10 REGISTER



Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Boomerang.

Hello,

What you can do is, using 'Extract Table' command, extract table having CLASS NAME and the REGISTER hyperlink into a CSV file. After 'Extract table command, insert 'Loop For Each row in an Internet Explorer Table' command and inside loop insert command to click on REGISTER hyperlink. Double click on command that clicks on REGISTER hyperlink and replace the link name in 'Name:' textbox with System Variable $Table Column(2)$ (use F2 to insert variable).
Whenever you extract table using Automation Anywhere Web Recorder->Export Table command, the rows and columns of the table are stored in the System Variable $Table Column$. Let's say you imported table that has 2 columns. You can access the two columns of the table by calling $Table Column(1)$ and $Table Column(2)$.
Then insert command to go back to main page that have list of Register hyperlink.

Text format of commands would appear as follows.

1) Extract table from 'http://www....' website's '3' table
2) Start Loop " Each row in an Internet Explorer Table"
3) If $Table Column(2)$ Not Equal To "" Then
4) Click on '$Table Column(2)$' link in the webpage 'Window title of webpage'
5) Go Back From details page.
6) End If
7) End Loop
