Application Modeller is used to identify the elements based on the defined properties by the developer of the application.
Application Modeller will identify the elements of the application on which blue prism perform the operations.
Blue Prism supports 4 type of elements identifying modes:
1. HTML Mode
2.Win32 Mode
3.Region Mode
4.Accessibility Mode
Select the Business object that you have created. I have created "TestIObj" business object. Application Modeller option will be visible on only Business Object window.
When you select the business object then by default object contain three tabs:
1. Initialise
2.Clean Up
3.Action 1
We need to configure the Application Modeller.Select the Action1 from the TestObj window and Click on the Application Modeller option
1. Define the Application Model (Any Meaningful name) and click on the Next button
Select the application type which you are going to automate. I have selected 4 option because my application is web and i want to automate it on IE.After selecting it click on Next Button
Select the option 1st if you are going to work on already open application .Select the 2nd option if you want to launch it as a new application.After selecting it please click on Next button

1. Search Edit box
2. Google Search button
Click on Launch Button. After clicking on it Google page will launch.
Application Launched successfully and now we can identify the elements with the use of Identify button on Application Modeller window
Click on Identify then by default it will in HTML Mode. To change the mode Press the Alt Key to switch spy modes
Select the element in the application and press Ctrl and Left-Click to get the properties of the element.
I have identified the properties of the Search edit field:
Keep only those properties which are unique for it and it will not change in future.(Usually try to un-select Parent URL Property and Path also) and Provide the meaningful name to this element
Add another element for button and do the same process as above to get the properties for the Search button and then click on OK button.
