Capture a table from the Windows applications, and web pages on the Internet Explorer browser by using the Get Table component in RPA Desktop Design Studio.

## Before you begin

Capture an image of the target application window and create an anchor. For information about how to do this, see [Use the ActionSet component](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/wibpGKDGK7_KKrKJ81R~aQ "The ActionSet component lets an automation interact with Windows applications (such as web browsers) and with Citrix applications. Using this single component in RPA Desktop Design Studio, you can click, drag, read and set text, interact with tables, and more, combining several user actions into a single task.").

Role required: none

## About this task

The ActionSet Get Table action captures an entire table from a location that you specify in the ActionSet Settings window. You can choose to ignore the table header by setting the Ignore Header property in Step 4 of the
procedure.  
Important:  
For the action to successfully capture table data, the target data must already be in table form. The action cannot convert ordinary text to table data.

You can configure the properties for the Get Table action. For more information about
these properties, see [ActionSet- Get Table properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/D8KHPAi6Pv2rnwN15jo0kg#actionset-actions-properties__ActionSet-GetTable).

## Procedure

1. Right-click the anchor.  
   To learn about the anchor, see how to use the [Anchor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/aIVkN_YpZS9zVpQGAFOdlg "An anchor is a unique identifier which is identified on the screen. It helps specify the target area for a simulated user interaction by defining a static area from which actions can be defined at a relative distance. The position of actions is calculated based on the anchor and the actions are performed relative to it.").
2. Click Get Table.
3. Drag the green plus icon (![Green plus icon.]()) to the area in the target window that contains a table that you want to capture.
4. **Optional:** In the Properties pane of the ActionSet Settings window, configure the properties of the Get Table action.
5. Close the ACTIONSET SETTINGS window.
6. **Optional:** If you didn't hide the port for the Table action in Step 4, connect the port so the Table parameter can pass on the extracted table data.  
   The Table parameter is described in the following table.
   {#use-actionset-get-table__table_jnw_jn1_krb__entry__5}

   | Port type | Port name | Data type | Purpose of connection | Notes |
   |-|-|-|-|-|
   | Data Out | Table | DataTable | Returns the extracted table data. | The Data Out port is enabled by default. You can disable it in the PROPERTIES pane. |
