UI Automation Activities
AribaWeb-based interfaces contain a variety of specific controls with which you can interact, as exemplified on this page.

<webctrl aw-label='Project:/Full Project' aw-name='RadioButton' tag='DIV' /><webctrl aw-label='Project:/Full Project' aw-name='RadioButton' tag='DIV' />Use the Radio Button control with the Check/Uncheck activity.
Checkbox elements represent a list of multiple choices. One, more, or no options can be selected.

<webctrl aw-label='Exempt from Backup Withholding:' aw-name='Checkbox' tag='DIV' /><webctrl aw-label='Exempt from Backup Withholding:' aw-name='Checkbox' tag='DIV' />Use the Checkbox control with the Check/Uncheck activity.
Dropdown lists allow you to select single items from predefined lists.
Sample selector:
<webctrl aw-label='Approval Status:' aw-name='Dropdown' tag='DIV' /><webctrl aw-label='Approval Status:' aw-name='Dropdown' tag='DIV' />Use the Dropdown control with the Select Item activity.
