Automate

Good morning,

In the attached word document I have listed with screen captures of the issues I am running into using standard/batch entry vs GUI scripting. To summarize using Standard and Batch entry I'm unable to navigate through a confirmation dialogue box at the end of the process I am trying to automate. Using GUI scripting I am unable to designate the row to select before selecting Trigger Point overview. It selects the same row each time and I'm not sure how to run through each available row. I'm also able to select all, but I'm not sure if that is the way to go given there are different amounts of operations under each material. I feel like I'm on the right track and any help would be appreciated. 

Thank you,

Hello Jason from your neighbor to the west (MN)!

I have a bucketload of experience with updating task lists / routings with Winshuttle.

You can pin the value for the Profile to 1 in the script if you just touch the field while recording and re-enter the number 1. I recommend this over setting 1 as a PID since that can mess up the ability for others to use the script.

I like to use key commands on the keyboard versus buttons whenever i can. So Ctrl+F for find. Enter the number of the operation and hit enter. Then hit F2 which is for Choose under the Edit menu. That gets you into the details screen where you can use the Goto menu to open the Trigger point overview. When you get to the screen after asking if you want to copy data Copy standard trigger points? does it automatically highlight the 00004 for you? We don't have those in our system so i can't quite duplicate that portion of the issue. If it does highlight it for you can you click enter on the keyboard to get it to move past that screen?

If it doesn't highlight for you are you able to try some of the keyboard commands like F2 for choose on that dialog box?

I try to avoid loops with routings whenever i can since they don't really buy me much in terms of time savings.

I know routings can get somewhat tricky. But that's the joy of Winshuttle and SAP!

Good luck,

Derek

Hello Derek,

This is exactly what I was looking for. Using the F2 hotkey I was able to get into searched for record and then navigate to the trigger point overview from there. Looks like I need to familiarize myself with more hotkeys when building with GUI Scripting in the future. 

Thank you,
