• Allows us to perform search for a provided value in a specified data
table and return value which is required such as Cell Value or Row
Index.
• Pre Requisites:

• The value found in cell that has Row co-ordinates specified in
row index property and column co-ordinates specified in
Target Column property.
2. Row Index:
• The row index of the found cell, stored in an Integer variable.
• Only Integer variables are supported in this field.

7. Lookup DataTable
• Properties:
• Lookup Column
1. Column- The variable containing column you want to search for.
2. Column Index- The index of column you want to search for.

20. Breakpoint Settings

21. Breakpoint Settings
•Condition- The condition for the breakpoint.
•If the condition is met during debugging, the
execution breaks and the activity is highlighted​
•Hit Count- if the bot is working in a loop, and we
want to stop it at a certain iteration, we can apply
the number of iteration in hit count field.
•Log message-Enter a message which will be
logged when breakpoint occurs.
•

22. Conditional Breakpoint
•Conditional breakpoints
are breakpoints that depend on
a set condition and/or a hit count.
•We need to populate the following
2 fields in the Breakpoint settings:​
1.Condition​
2.Hit Count​

23. Conditional Breakpoint
•Conditional
Breakpoints have
2 states:
1.Enabled
2.Disabled
•

24. Tracepoints and Conditional Tracepoints
•Tracepoints are breakpoints
with set logged messages.
•When the tracepoint is
reached during debugging, the
message is logged at trace
level.
•If we insert any condition in
the condition field, it becomes
a Conditional Tracepoint.​
