automation is a breeze with autoit
AutoIt is a free scripting language for Microsoft Windows that simulates Windows commands, mouse movements, and mouse-clicks; sends keystrokes to applications; and works with the clipboard to cut and paste text, among other tasks. Unlike many other scripting languages, AutoIt is able to interact with programs the same way that your users do - by actually using the mouse and keyboard shortcuts. The Solution Center has created several automated programs using AutoIt that perform many of the tasks repeated each day. Saving time, reducing error, and adding ease to report options are just some of the ways the Solution Center at Iowa State University has exploited AutoIt's features. AutoIt has allowed us to better serve our students and faculty members by reducing the amount of time it takes to complete a scripted task, removing human error, and eliminating some repetitive tasks for staff. This session is intended for all levels of user support staff.
