Good Afternoon
I have read the posts about automating data entry on the Datatel screens. (they changed their name to ellucian) and I see that this may not be easy. I am attempting to setup some unattended data entry on Verion 4.3.2 of the webUI.
I have successfully gotten snippets of code to intermittently work to:
* copy the person ID from the context box to a variable (using smoooove)
* copy the contents of the quick access box to a variable (using smoooove)
* Update data and save the records.
My problem is that it is inconsistent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
If data entry is going to be unattended I would like to be able to tell what screen is active and what person record is in the context box. Then there are errors, and locked records to deal with. I have delays in place that are too long, and results are still inconsistent. I always start with a resize and position of the window and set the cursor position so I know where things start.
QUESTIONS:
Has anyone else done this?
Is the inconsistency I am seeing a feature of macro express?
Do the HOME, CONTROL-A, SHIFT HOME keystrokes not work in macro express or is this an ellucian silverlight thing?
Your advice would be most appreciated.
