Hi,  
Im a newbie,

I used the zoom out using the script below and changed the web page zoom level as 80%.

WebUI.executeJavaScript(‘document.body.style.zoom= '80%'’, null)

After that, whatever i recorded earlier are throwing error as “unable to click on object”.  
I tried saving object selector by Xpath and Attributes .But it didnt work

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint  
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase

import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI  
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

WebUI.openBrowser(‘’)

WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject(‘Page\_datahub/div\_GO SMART GO MOBILITY (1) (1)’), 20)

WebUI.executeJavaScript(‘document.body.style.zoom= '80%'’, null)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page\_datahub/a\_Sign In (10) (1)’))

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page\_datahub Sign In/button\_Sign In (1)’))

WebUI.delay(3, FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE)

Kindly help me out to proceed with zoom out level

Seems like the page is going to mobile mode(RWD) when you zoom out and hence the Xpaths are changing. Infact, what you are doing is effectively equal to changing screensize.  
try setting the resolution using  
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1530,818))

OR you can use the following link to zoom in and zoomout
