2. Features At A Glance

 

Visual Job Designer

With WinAutomation you can automate any task in minutes, no matter how simple or complex.

Our powerful and intuitive Visual Job Designer lets you combine predefined actions that act as building blocks for your tasks.

Select the actions you need from the vast build-in collection and add, move, combine and configure them in the editor with simple Drag & Drop.

View your complete task in plain English – no technical gibberish

 

120+ Predefined Actions

There are more than 120 predefined actions that act as building blocks for your tasks.

You can utilize actions like mouse clicks, keystrokes or file operations, all the way to more complex ones that perform operations between variables, automate Excel, download files from FTP sites, take screen shots, send email, communicate with databases, etc.

 

Macro Recorder

Among numerous other automation features, WinAutomation also includes a full-featured intelligent Macro Recorder that lets you record and replay all mouse and keyboard actions.

With WinAutomation Macro Recorder you have the ability to record a task based on the currently active window, always sending the recorded mouse events and keystrokes to the correct window.

Macro Recorder generates a set of comprehensive, human readable actions that you can later edit and modify in the Visual Job Designer without having to re-record the whole job again. This gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your macro, even by adding different actions between the recorded mouse and keyboard actions.

After recording a Macro, WinAutomation lets you set the playback speed of the macro.

      

Variables

WinAutomation includes full support for variables that are used to pass data from an action to another. 
Apart from simple variables that can hold text, numerical, date & time or boolean (true/false) values, WinAutomation can also handle lists (arrays) and DataTables (two-dimensional arrays) for implementing more complex logic and tasks.

  
Flow Control, Conditionals, Loops

Full support for flow control structures is included, ranging from the simple GoTo action to IF/ELSE constructs. 
And of course loops that can iterate a list, repeat a block of actions a number of times or until a condition changes.

 

Integrated Debugger

Sometimes an automated job may not perform as intended and in this case you need a full-featured tool to help you identify the error. 
The debugger lets you enable and disable actions, watch each action as it executes, set breakpoints to pause execution, execute the job action by action and at the same time inspect the variables’ values and system changes.

 

Exception Handling

Imagine that you have built a job to copy a file and it suddenly fails because the destination disk becomes full.

Or a job that uploads a file to an FTP server and one day the network is down.

All these "exceptional" conditions are called exceptions. With WinAutomation you have the choice to catch those exceptions and implement additional logic into your jobs to handle them.

You can now build truly reliable jobs that you can depend on.

 

Image Recognition

When you implement GUI automation (i.e., when you send mouse clicks and keystrokes to automate an application) often basing your actions on mouse pointer coordinates is not enough.

Sometimes you have to wait for a particular visual clue to display or change, or you have to click on a certain point of the screen or window that can only be described by its appearance.

To handle these scenarios, WinAutomation implements Image Recognition technology that "sees" what’s on the screen and can either wait for a specific image to appear.

This unique approach can handle tasks that are extremely difficult to automate and virtually removes any limit on what you can automate using WinAutomation.

 

Task Scheduler

It also includes a powerful Job Scheduler that permits you to schedule when these tasks will execute in the most flexible manner.

You can easily set a job to run daily, multiple times a day, on specific days of the week or month, or you can simply specify the exact dates and times when you want your job to run..

 

Triggers
WinAutomation includes a complete set of triggers that you may set to constantly monitor you system and execute jobs at specific events. 
You may, for example, have a trigger to monitor a folder and execute jobs whenever a file is created or modified, or you may monitor any Windows Service, the Windows Event Log, the running processes, the keyboard and many other aspects of your system.

 

Event Log

Every event related to WinAutomation is registered into its own event log. By examining the log you will be able to see which jobs were triggered and what was the result of the execution at any time.

 

Compile to Exe

WinAutomation Professional Edition includes a job compiler that lets you compile jobs into Windows Exe files.

Compiled Jobs are autonomous windows applications that can run without having WinAutomation installed on the machine. This way you can distribute and run your jobs to an unlimited number of computers within your organization.

To run compiled jobs on a pre-Vista machine (i.e. Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003) you must have the .Net Framework installed.

The .Net Framework is a free Microsoft download and can be downloaded from here. In Windows Vista the .Net Framework is a part of the operating system.
