Which step can be used as an alternative to web element condition?

In AutomationEdge Process Studio, the GUI: Web Element Condition step evaluates a web element’s state (Is displayed, Is enabled, or Is selected) and returns a Boolean (true/false) value in an output field.

Depending on your workflow logic, the following steps can be used as alternatives:

1. Web Wait Until (For Conditional Pausing)

  • When to use: If you need the workflow to pause and wait for an element state rather than immediately returning a Boolean value.
  • Supported Conditions: Waits for conditions like Element visible, Element present, Element to be clickable, Element Selected, Element checked, or Alert Present up to a specified timeout.
  • Difference: While Web Element Condition evaluates immediately and outputs a Boolean flag to be evaluated downstream (e.g., with a Filter Rows step), Web Wait Until halts execution until the condition becomes true or times out.

2. GUI: Element Property Actions / Get Property Values

  • When to use: When you need a direct property check that outputs a Boolean (True/False) value.
  • Supported Properties: Evaluates Is Exist, Is Visible, Is Enabled, Is Selected, Is Checked, or Application Exist.
  • Recommended Pattern: In workflows, it is often recommended to combine Wait Until – Is Exist followed by Get Property Values to ensure element stability before evaluating properties
