Click
This action emulates a mouse click on the found tag.
This is the most common action to use for navigation such as following links, submitting forms, etc. It can be used when the robot should perform the same action as the browser when clicking on something. Depending on the found tag, the Click action will perform the necessary page loading, form submissions, JavaScript execution, and so on.
To emulate a mouse movement instead of a click, use the Move Mouse To and Move Mouse From actions.

You can have several met wait criteria such as if you are waiting for two HTML elements that appear on the same load, or if you are waiting for an element on the main frame, and Initial Page Load Completes is set. For more information, see Use Wait Criteria.
- Options
