By default, the parameter is set to false. When left empty, it will not consider UIA3 functionality.

WaitTime: It enables the user to introduce a delay before initiating subsequent activities. The delay is specified in milliseconds.
By default, it is set to 10000 milliseconds. Leaving the option blank will result in no delay being applied.

None: If the option is left blank, the activity will, by default, behave as if “False” were chosen.

Version: It indicates the version of the feature being used.

MOVE

XPos: Provide an X coordinate for horizontal movement of the application. Decimal numbers are acceptable. Leaving the option blank will result in no action required.

YPos: Indicate a Y coordinate for vertical movement of the application. Decimal numbers are acceptable. Leaving the option blank will result in no action required.

OUTPUT

Result: It provides the ability to view the execution status of the activity. It returns values in “Boolean.”
True: Indicates that the activity has been executed successfully without any errors.
False: Indicates that the activity has been unsuccessful due to an unexpected error being thrown.

WindowHeight: Specify the desired window height for resizing the application. Decimal numbers are acceptable. Leaving the option blank will result in no action required.

WindowWidth: Specify the desired window width for resizing the application. Decimal numbers are acceptable. Leaving the option blank will result in no action required.

ROTATE

RotateDegrees: Specify the degree of rotation for the application. Decimal numbers are acceptable. Leaving the option blank will result in no action required.

* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow.

Tips:

1. Enable the “UIA3” functionality when you have employed “DesktopAutomationUIA3” activities in the workflow. 
2. If “UIA3” is enabled, and there are no “UIA3” activities used in the workflow, it will not execute properly.
