Set Area | Leapwork Docs

The Set area block is used to define an area value, typically a region of the screen, using a position and size. This area value is then reused in other blocks such as Find text or Click image to limit their operation to a specific part of the screen.

The Set area block has only one property:

Note: The screenshot on this page uses the Elegance Design, introduced in 2025.3. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

Quick-start

1. Drag Set area onto the canvas.
2. Specify the Area value and connect it to the blocks that should use this area.
3. Run the flow when it’s ready.

Building block parameters

Parameters

• Block header: Shows the name of the Set area block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header and typing a new title. This block has no green execution connectors in the header because it is not executed on its own; it only provides an area value to other blocks.
• Area value: Defines the area as X, Y, Width, Height coordinates, starting from the upper-left pixel of the screen. The top-left corner of the screen is position 0, 0.

You can expand this parameter to work with the position ( X, Y) and size ( Width, Height) separately, and you can pass the value to other blocks that accept an area input.
