Continue On Error: Continues the execution of the workflow even if an error occurs during the execution of the activity.
-
Delay Before: Delay time in milliseconds before the activity is executed. The default value is 250 milliseconds.
-
Delay After: Delay time in milliseconds after executing of the activity. The default value is 250 milliseconds.
-
Disable Log: Disables the logging functionality for this activity.
-

Timeout: Duration in milliseconds in which the activity tries to execute.
Input [Expert]
- Show Mouse Movement: Show mouse movement (true/false).
Target
- Accuracy: Describes how much an image on the screen has to match the originally snipped image to be considered a match. Usually, 0.99 works well.
- AutoInvert: If checked, both the template and the image are inverted for certain matching methods to ensure reliability. Usually checked state works well.
- ImageRepresentation: Defines on which image representation the search should be carried out. Usually GrayScale works well.
- Scale: Set the scale factor to scale both the template and the image in which you're searching for the template by the specified value. This can be used to speed up the template matching process by down-sampling both images (scale factor < 1). This will, of course, reduce the accuracy, and thus should be used with caution - usually, it's best to leave it at 1. Providing a value greater than 1 reduces accuracy and performance and thus shouldn't be used.
- Search Region: The display region in pixels where the image is searched in. When empty the whole virtual screen including all monitors is used.
- TemplateMatchingMethod: Gets or sets the similarity measure. Usually, CcoeffNormed works fine. For more information, see "Template Matching Methods" in the Hyland RPA Designer Help.
Output
- Found Image: Found Image (true/false).
