About the Selectors Overview for Business Analysts course

UI Automation refers to the capability of the UiPath platform to interact with graphical user interface (GUI) elements of desktop, web, and virtual environments. This includes automating tasks such as clicking buttons, entering text into fields, selecting dropdown options, and navigating between different windows or tabs.

Next, we cover what selectors are in the context of automation development and finally, we provide an overview of different selectors/targeting methods along with the circumstances under which they can be used.
