Naming robotic process automation activities according to automatically detected target labels

Abstract:

Some embodiments describe improvements to an interface for designing robotic process automation (RPA) software. In response to receiving user input that selects a target UI element for an RPA activity (e.g., mouse click, text input), some embodiments automatically identify a label element co-displayed with the respective target element. An activity configuration interface displays an activity name and/or description using the label element as a descriptor and/or substitute for the target element, making the interface more intuitive and accessible to developers without a programming background.
