Learn about the properties of the Actions (UI) group components. All components under the Actions (UI) group have both unique and common properties.

Property	Description
Delay after execution	Option to specify a delay in seconds after the component executes. The automation will wait until the specified time elapses before executing the next component.
Delay before execution	Option to specify a delay in seconds before the component executes. The automation will wait until the specified time elapses before executing the component.
Name	Name of the component.
X	Location of the green plus icon ([Omitted image "green-plus-icon.png"] Alt text: Green plus icon.) on the component along the X-axis.
Y	Location of the green plus icon ([Omitted image "green-plus-icon.png"] Alt text: Green plus icon.) on the component along the Y-axis.
Enable Timeout	Option to set a timeout value.
Timeout	Number of seconds that the operation ends after if not completed. To apply this value, you must set the Enable Timeout property.
Scaled Search	Option to specify whether the component will scale the target image before trying to match the source image. The scaling is done in an increment of 10% each between 100% and 150%. The default option is False.
Search As Gray Scale Image	Option to define and search the captured area as a grayscale image. By default, the option is enabled.
Target Platform	Option to select the application platform.
Threshold	Specifies the accuracy in matching the image captured before the component performs an action. The value of 1 defines a 100% match while 0.5 defines 50% match. The default value is 0.9 or 90% match.
Max Wait Time in Seconds	Defines the number of seconds to wait for the image or application to appear on the screen.
Wait After Image Found	Specifies the wait time (in seconds) after the image or application appears on the screen.
