uip rpa indicate-application
uip rpa indicate-application invokes Studio's on-screen application indicator and stores the result as a screen entry in the project's Object Repository. Once registered, the screen becomes a reusable target that activities and child elements can hang off of.
Studio drives the indicator UI, so the verb requires a Windows runner — the user (or a UI automation agent) needs to physically point at the application window when prompted.
