Run Utility Commands Action: RUN

The Run Utility Commands action is used to execute functions within a Case when no return value needs to be stored in a variable. This action enables the execution of various utility functions, such as interacting with PDFs, performing calculations, executing SQL queries, and working with Excel files.

Example: Suppose you want to extract a table of itemized charges from an invoice PDF located on the system.

Steps to configure:

1. Select Run Utility Commands from the Action drop-down.
2. Specify the values in Screen Name and Element Key fields, if required.
3. Go to the Parameters section, click Form, and select Functions from the dropdown.
4. Choose the function you want to execute (e.g., LoadCSVFile, ExecuteEXE, etc.)
5. Provide the required inputs based on the selected function (e.g., file path, values, or parameters).
6. Click Save.

Note: While the steps for adding an Action are identical in both views, the display of the steps changes:

Expected Outcome on Execution:

• The selected function is executed as part of the automation process.
• Since RUN does not return a value, it does not store any output in a variable.
