When your webpage is slow or takes time to respond and load all the elements, there is an option in the activities called “Wait for Ready.” By default, this is set to "None." Apart from "None," there are two other options: "Interactive" and "Complete."
Interactive – This option identifies the element as soon as it appears on the page, even if the webpage is still loading.
Complete – This option identifies the element only when the webpage is fully loaded and all the elements have appeared.

The recommended option is “Complete,” even if your webpage is interactively responsive. This ensures you wait for the element and also accounts for dynamically loaded webpages based on Ajax calls, allowing actions to be performed promptly.

Is there any time limit for the activity to wait until the element appears if I select "Complete" for "Wait for Ready"?@abiduai

Yes, there is a “Wait Time” property that specifies the time limit for the browser to completely load and for the elements to appear.
