Pagination Commands
Pagination refers to the process of navigating through links or buttons on a website to access various pages of content. In Sequentum Cloud, you have two primary options for implementing pagination: the Action Repeater and the Link Repeater. Each option is tailored to specific scenarios, allowing you to choose the most suitable method for your needs. Here’s an overview of both commands and their implementation:
Action Repeater Command
In Sequentum Cloud agents, the Action Repeater command can be employed for pagination on web pages where the pagination buttons rely on JavaScript events to navigate between multiple pages. This command is particularly useful for handling dynamic web applications that use client-side scripting for page transitions, ensuring smooth automation of the pagination process. By setting up the Action Repeater, you can efficiently extract data from each page as you navigate through the content.
To implement pagination using Action Repeater:
Click on the pagination button or icon present on the web page to navigate between pages as shown in the screenshot below:
After selecting the pagination icon on the webpage, an action repeater button will appear in the New Section, as shown in the screenshot below:
Clicking the Action Repeater icon in the New section adds an Action Repeater command to your agent. The screenshot below shows the added pagination command:
In Sequentum Cloud agents, you can effectively implement pagination by utilizing the Link Repeater command on web pages that use pagination buttons linked to URLs for navigating across multiple pages. Using the Link Repeater, you can automate the process of accessing multiple pages as well as enhancing the efficiency of data extraction tasks.
To implement pagination using Link Repeater:
Click on the pagination button or icon which uses urls in backend to navigate between pages as shown in the screenshot below:
After selecting the pagination icon on the webpage, a Link repeater button will appear in the New Section, as shown in the screenshot below:
Clicking the Link Repeater icon in the New section adds a Link Repeater command to your agent. The screenshot below shows the added pagination command:
By following the steps outlined above, you can easily implement pagination using either the Link Repeater or Action Repeater, depending on the requirements of the web pages.
