QuestionQ135

VerifiedUI Automation

Ravi, a support analyst, uses a UiPath automation that signs in to a customer management system and performs data-validation tasks. He often needs to continue handling incoming tickets while the automation is running. His organization has enabled Picture-in-Picture (PiP), and the automation was developed to support it. However, when he launches the process in PiP, he notices that certain UI elements behave differently, particularly those relying on desktop-specific selectors. He is considering whether to run in Child Session or explore other PiP options.

Based on this scenario, which choice would best enable Ravi to run the automation without interrupting his work while providing greater UI compatibility?

Explanation

UiPath PiP Child Session runs the automation in a separate Windows session, so the primary desktop remains available for attended work. It is the PiP technology with broader UI automation compatibility, including hardware-event and image-based automation, whereas Virtual Desktop does not support those interaction types. This makes Child Session the appropriate option for automations that depend on desktop-specific UI behavior and selectors.
