Step 1

Recording Web Macro

To begin extracting data, the program needs to navigate to the webpage with the data. That requires a special web macro. The simplest web macro is the navigator to a webpage. Such macros are used when the data is located on static pages like the one in our example. Just type the starting URL in WebNavigation view - http://www.sundewsoft.com/testdata/books.php

When the page is loaded, click on the Play Web Macro button to start and then click on the Stop Web Macro to end recording macro. That will open the window with the navigation start page.

Click Finish, and the new macro will appear in the Project view. You can test out the macro and make sure the macro navigates to the right page by clicking Play Web Macro.
