RPA Blue Prism Read Data Activity | Become RPA Blue Prism Developer | NGI Technologies

The Read activity in Blue Prism is essential for capturing data from user interfaces, which can be used within your automation processes. Here's an overview of how the Read activity works and some common scenarios where it can be applied:
What is the Read Activity?
The Read activity is used to extract information from various UI elements, such as text boxes, labels, tables, and more. It captures the data and stores it in data items for further processing.
Key Features of the Read Activity
Flexible Data Extraction: Can read data from different types of UI elements.
Attribute-Based Identification: Uses attributes of the UI elements (e.g., ID, class) to accurately locate and read the data.
Integration with Application Modeller: Works seamlessly with the Application Modeller to define and spy the elements from which data needs to be read.
How to Use the Read Activity
Open Object Studio: Create or open an existing Visual Business Object (VBO) in Object Studio.
Spy the Element: Use the Application Modeller to spy the UI element you want to read from.
Add Read Stage: Drag and drop the Read stage onto the design canvas in Object Studio.
Configure the Read Stage:
Element: Select the element you spied using the Application Modeller.
Attributes: Define the attributes to be read (e.g., text, value).
Store Data: Specify the data item where the extracted information will be stored.
Example: Reading Text from a Text Box
Let's say you want to read the text from a username text box in a web application.
Spy the Username Text Box:
Open the Application Modeller and spy the text box element.
Save the element with a meaningful name (e.g., "UsernameTextBox").
Add a Read Stage:
In Object Studio, drag the Read stage onto the design canvas.
Select "UsernameTextBox" as the element to read from.
Set the data item (e.g., "UsernameData") to store the extracted text.
Configure the Read Stage:
Element: UsernameTextBox
Attribute: Value
Data Item: UsernameData
Execute the Read Stage:
Run the process to read the text from the username text box and store it in the "UsernameData" data item.
Common Scenarios for Using the Read Activity
Extracting User Input: Capturing user input from forms or text boxes.
Reading Data from Tables: Extracting information from tables or grids.
Gathering Status Information: Reading status messages or labels in applications.
Data Validation: Validating data by reading and comparing values.
The Read activity is a powerful tool in Blue Prism that enables you to interact with and extract data from various applications, enhancing the capabilities of your automation processes.
