Properties Used to Match Web Applications

When interrogating a webpage, Pega Robotic Automation Studio reads the HTML for the page, identifies the HTML tags for the selected objects and associates the tags with the controls. The following table shows how HTML tags, web objects, and web controls are related.

Note: Because multiple HTML objects of the same type reside on a page. Studio uses multiple characteristics about the object, derived from the HTML tag, to uniquely identify an object. The match rules for Web applications are based on the combinations of object type and HTML code.

HTML tag	Web object	Web control
<a>	Anchor	Link
<button>	Button	Base Button
<form>	Form	Form
<img>	Image	Image
<input>	Input	Button (Submit, Reset) CheckBox ImageButton FileUploadField HiddenField RadioButton TextBox
