    WebUI.takeElementScreenshot(RunConfiguration.getReportFolder() + '/logo.png', findTestObject('UI/logo'))
  2. You want to take a screenshot of a Test Object stored in a variable named 'header' for TestOps Vision. Use the default fileName:
    import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject

    // where ignoredElements is a user-defined List-typed variable.
    WebUI.takeElementScreenshot(header)
