How to enable TagUI running on MOE SSOE machine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J76fAWwcahs
It is possible to run TagUI on SSOE already but there are some usability issues or path blockers you need to overcome.
Thanks to Ken for exploring the solution.

Requirement

  1.  download to D: TagUI v6.46 for Windows
  2. unzip is needed but to D:
  3. Java for computer vision is already installed so can ignore Install OpenJDK for Windows
  4. Chrome is already installed so can ignore Install Chrome web browser
  5. new method to run every time to new d:\rpa\tagui to path Add c:\tagui\src to start of path cannot be done as SSOE does not support permanent path change
  6. open command prompt via new method listed below Open Command Prompt
  7. Navigate to the flow folder 📁 in order to save output csv files (best practice)
  8. Set path every time the SSOE boot up (recommended every boot up time run it on cmd)

    • set path=d:\rpa\tagui\src;%path%
  9. Copy, paste and run this command while in the folder of flows
    • tagui 1_google.tag
    • Not recommended to do below line as it fails to save output.csv while in scr folder
    • tagui D:\rpa\tagui\flows\samples\1_google.tag

SSOE steps below not recommended as Everytime ssoe reboot all shortcut is deleted I think.



  1. Read this https://tagui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup.html
  2. Go to https://tagui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup.html and download the TagUI v6.46 for Windows which is a zip file, PS dont use the installer as it will lead to a pop up asking for admin rights
  3. Unzip the contents to d:\rpa the reason is SSOE allow only unzipping to D drive, C drive cannot allow unzipping
  4. Right click on the window desktop and create a new shortcut and click ok and copy paste the following line into the item 
    • C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k set path=d:\rpa\tagui\src;%path%
  5. Give a meaningful name like 
    • tagui command prompt rpa
  6. Create cmd shortcut 
    • C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k set path=d:\rpa\tagui\src;%path% 
  7. An icon will appear on the desktop

  8. These steps will include a path shortcut /k set path=d:\rpa\tagui\src;%path% so the point is the path cannot be added by normal users so everytime SSOE users can double click on this to run the command prompt.
  9. type in to check if TagUI is path setup correctly

    • tagui
  10. the samples are saved here D:\rpa\tagui\flows\samples 


  11. To run samples type in

    • tagui D:\rpa\tagui\flows\samples\1_google.tag

  12. Occasionally, type in the command to fetch the latest version of TagUI
    • tagui update
  13. Enjoy!

Alternatives


Set path every time the SSOE boot up recommended

  • set path=d:\rpa\tagui\src;%path%

Run the tagui in the scr folder with the full path of the tagui files, not recommended as it will fail to save output csv.

For example
  • D:\rpa\tagui\src>tagui D:\rpa\tagui\flows\samples\1_google.tag

If you use personal 💻, try this way to edit the environment.

HTML5 Unity Game Export Guide for SLS by www.redharestudios.sg

HTML5 Unity Game Export Guide by www.redharestudios.sg

Step 1 :

In Unity Scene - Toolbar, select Build Settings

















Step 2:

Select all Scenes need to build and choose WebGL platform

Step 3: (This is an important step, the web browser won’t support default Gzip compression

format from Unity anymore. We have to disable it!)

Select “Player Settings” , we will receive another popup. In “Publishing Settings” tab,

take a look on Compression Format and make sure it is Disabled

Step 4:

Also in that popup, in “Resolution and Presentation” tab, choose webGL Template is

Minimal

Step 5:

Start building the project and wait to see the result

Step 6:

We will receive a folder after completing the build in step 5, then start to compress the

project as zip format. Make sure all components will not be put in any folder.

20210909 OLive Fiesta SPICE Carnival - Talent Showcase MOE - Robotic Magic TagUI a free tool for Robotics Process Automation (RPA).






Background: The annual SPICE Carnival was organised as part of OLive Fiesta to provide a platform for divisions to raise funds for President’s Challenge (PC). As shared during the OLive Session with SWB Champs on 27 April this year, the SWB Team would be taking a different approach for this year’s Divisional fundraising activity with a MOE Talent Showcase. This Talent Showcase is a spin-off from last year’s Directors’ Showcase whereby our DM members performed musical instruments or shared their knowledge to raise funds for PC. This year, we hope to showcase more of our fellow colleagues’ talents. However, should your Divisional Director volunteer to contribute to this meaningful event with his or her talent, we would most welcome it too!
Event: OLive Fiesta SPICE Carnival - Talent Showcase
Goal: proposed performance/mini workshop for the Talent Showcase
Propose: 30 minutes educational showcase called Robotic Magic, Educational Technology Officer Suhaimi and his mentor, Senior Specialist Lawrence Wee, will be sharing about the use of TagUI a free tool for Robotics Process Automation (RPA).
Synopsis: Ever felt that some parts of your work were menial and repetitive? Or you just find it troublesome to extract information from websites to documents or vice versa? Join us for a showcase of Robotic Magic where we share with you how to automate your work through flows with a few lines of text.
Date: 9 Sep 2021
Time: 1130-1150
Platform: Zoom Discover the “Magic”
Suhaimi blog post.
in 2021, we managed to these much with TagUI, the robotic magic.

Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary) 
Chemical Bonding Simulation for all Singapore Schools Teaching & Learning 
Chemistry teachers face these challenges when teaching the topic of Covalent Bonding:
  1. Use of cumbersome models that require tedious preparation.
  2. Frontal teaching with models is teacher-centred rather than student-centred.
  3. Having students to practise on static pen-&-paper diagrams is uninspiring and often lead to learning difficulties and conceptual errors.

To address the issues, we have developed an interactive web-based computer simulation using JavaScript.

The benefits:
  1. The simulation is an effective teaching tool that replaces cumbersome physical models.
  2. Enables student-centred activities, so every student can have hands-on practice on its many examples.
  3. It has an e-pedagogical self-assessment feature that promotes independent learning through automatic feedback and scaffolds.
  4. It has game-based elements incorporated into its design to promote joy of learning and enhance students’ engagement.
  5. Can be embedded into learning portals such as SLS for Blended/e-Learning.
