Pega RPA - How to click on the link within a HTML table
In a web application, we have a HTML table with 4 columns.
The first column is a link which will open up that particular record
Our requirement is, when the value in Column 1 and Column 2 matches certain values, then the link in the first column of the corresponding row has to be clicked and the record opened.
We have been able to interrogate the table using the HTML Table Designer, but this appears to give access only to the data in the table.
It is unclear how the link can be clicked.
Please help.

Here is an example of using Query:

Interrogate the link with the bulls-eye by using Select Element. Once interrogated, it should show up under the table control in the object explorer. Anything under the table control uses clones so based on the current row that you're analyzing, the PerformClick will activate that link.

Tried that, but it is not working. I have interrogated the table in the attached screen-shot. In the header of the table, there is a search icon. I am trying to interrogate that using Select Element. But when the element is created, it is getting created outside the table and not within the table

Use SelectElement and select the first link in your table. That'll add it as part of your table row. Once thats done, you can use Query for that field to select the conditions under which you need to click the link.
Pls post a picture of how your interrogated the table - go back to interrogation mode, right-click the table and go to design table and grab a screenshot. Also after you interrogate the first link, grab a screenshot of your interrogated controls in your object explorer.

Please find attached the screen-shots from the table design and the interrogation mode.
I am now able to get the link within the table as seen in the screen-shot. But can you please provide more information on how to query the link, not sure how to do this. If there is a sample, it will be very helpful

You can interrogate field With SelectElement & it will get created within Datacell section .It looks like link In the screenshot is glyphicon ,if Performclick fails u can go for RaiseEvent

Can you please clarify what is glyphicon?
Also, I am trying to interrogate using the SelectElement, but as you can see the element is created within the table, but not the Data Cell
