Fields

FieldRequiredWhat it does
ControlNoThe UI control to target - resolved by its learned name (App Model, self-healing) or its recorded selector. Shows the ranked selector candidates and the model name/screen. Falls back to X/Y when not found and Fallback is on.
XNoThe horizontal position (in pixels) used only when falling back to coordinates. Default: 0.
YNoThe vertical position (in pixels) used only when falling back to coordinates. Default: 0.
ButtonNoMouse button (left/right/middle). Defaults to left. Choices: Left, Middle, Right. Default: left.
IterationsNoNumber of times to repeat the click. Default: 1.
IntervalNoDelay between clicks in seconds. Default: 0.
VisualNoDescribe the control by what can be SEEN, for an application with no accessibility tree (Citrix, VDI, canvas) or as a fallback when the selector stops resolving. Keys: text, match (exact, contains, starts, regex, fuzzy), anchor plus relation (right, left, above, below, inside, nearest) to target by a nearby label, template (an image file), ordinal, offset, region, min_confidence. Tried after the selectors and before any coordinate fallback.
Fall back to coordinatesNoWhen the control can't be found, click the X/Y coordinates instead.
