Working with interrogated controls: the More menu

Updated on August 20, 2020

When working with controls on the Interrogation Form, additional functionality (such as highlighting a control or refreshing match rules) is available under the More menu, next to the Control Name field.

Highlighting a control

Perform the following steps to highlight a control so you can identify it. To use the Highlight feature, the control must be currently matched.

  1. From the Control name drop-down list, select a currently matched control.
  2. Click the More menu and then click Highlight.

A box briefly flashes around the selected control.

Refreshing matching

If you change match rules or other properties, or a control is not currently matching, you can refresh the matching to make Robot Studio rematch the control.

  1. From the Control name drop-down list, select a control.
  2. Click the More menu and then click Refresh Matching.

The matching status of the control is updated (if it changes).

Deleting a control

To delete a control, select it as the current control. If the control is used in an automation, you receive a warning that automations can get broken, giving you an opportunity to cancel the deletion.

  1. From the Control name drop-down list, select a control.
  2. Click the More menu and then click Delete.
  • If the control or any of its children are not used in any automation, you are prompted with a simple confirmation message. Click Yes to delete the control.
  • If an automation does use the control or any of its children, you receive the following message. Clicking Yes can break the listed automations.
Confirm delete

Collapse All/Expand All

Use the Collapse All or Expand All options to open or close the four main groups on the Interrogation Form: 

  • Properties
  • Target Properties
  • Match Rules
  • Testing
  1. On the Interrogation Form, click the More icon.
  2. In the More menu, click either Expand All or Collapse All.
Expand All/Collapse All

Adding Context Menu/Menu items

Container controls often have menus or context menus associated with them. When a control has a menu, the Add Menu Items or the Add Context Menu Items option is available.

To add menu items to the list of interrogated objects, perform the following steps:

  1. From the Control name drop-down list, select a container control.
  2. From the More menu, select either Add Menu Items or Add Context Menu Items.
Add items menu
  1. In the Add Menu Items or Add Context Menu Items window, select the options that you want to add to the list of interrogated controls. Uncheck options to remove them from the list of controls.
Add menu items
  1. Based on your selections, Robot Studio updates the menu options in the list of controls for the automation (in the Interrogation Form and Object Explorer).
