The name of the test containing the action you want to use. You can also enter an ALM folder or a relative path.

If you enter a relative path, OpenText Functional Testing searches for the test in the folders listed in the Folders pane of the Options dialog box (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Folders node).

If you are working with the Resources and Dependencies model with Quality Center or ALM, specify an absolute Quality Center / ALM path.

All local actions (actions that are stored with the test you selected).

When you select an action, its type (Non-reusable Action or Reusable Action) and description, if one exists, are displayed. This helps you identify the action you want to copy.

When selected, the Action Properties Dialog Box is displayed when you click OK. You can then modify the action properties.

The location to insert the action.

If the currently selected step is a reusable action from another test, the call to the copy of the action is added automatically to the end of the test, and the After the current step option is unavailable.
