Locate an object from your application in the object repository

   OpenText Functional Testing is hidden, and the pointer changes into a pointing hand. In some environments, as you move the pointing hand over your application, the test objects are highlighted.

   If the location you clicked is associated with more than one object, the Object Selection Dialog Box opens. The selected object is highlighted in the object repository.
