Map to Controls tab (Test Object Class designer)
This tab enables you to define rules that indicate the types of controls this test object class supports. It also enables you to test the rules that you create.
You can create browser-specific tabs with different rules to support different types and versions of browsers. Each browser-specific tab contains three rule creation panels, in which you can create a set of rules that UFT One uses in different ways.
Each Rule Creation panel contains options you can use to create, edit, and test the set of rules in that panel.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):
UI Elements | Description |
|---|---|
| <browser-specific tabs> | A strip of tabs, each containing the mapping rules for UFT One to use when running on a specific browser type and version. To add a new tab, click the Add Browser-Specific Rules The rules in the Default Rules tab are used for all supported browsers that do not have a specific set of rules defined. The rules in other tabs are used for the browser specified on the tab. If a browser version is specified, the rules are used when running on browsers of the specified type, whose version is the same or later. |
| <rule creation panels> | A set of panels in which you can create sets of mapping rules. For details on creating and testing the rules, see Rule Creation panel. Stored in: Conditions elements in the toolkit configuration XML file. The type attribute of the element is determined by the panel in which you create the rules:
For details on how UFT One uses the different types of rules, see the section on teaching UFT One to identify the test object class to use for a custom Web control in the UFT One Web Add-in Extensibility Developer Guide. |
| Identification file name | The file that contains the identification function (optional). You cannot modify this value directly. Use the Import File Use the Clear The corresponding XML attribute in the toolkit configuration XML file is cleared, but the JavaScript file is not removed from the project.

| Identification function name | The function that you implement to help identify the controls for which to use this test object class. This function is necessary only if you cannot create a set of rules that identifies the controls specifically enough. Use the Implementation Code Note: In this edit box, you can enter only English letters, numeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. The first character must be a letter. Stored in: Identification element in the toolkit configuration XML file |
| Test All Rules | Highlights all of the controls that match the mapping rules in all open Web applications. The rules from each tab are applied to the corresponding open browsers, using the same logic that UFT One uses to identify the test object class to use for a custom Web control. In addition, when the defined rules warrant it, the identification function that you implemented is also called to assist in identification of the relevant controls. For details, see the step Test and update your mapping rules in Map a test object class to application controls. |

button to open the relevant JavaScript file to the specified JavaScript function. If the function does not exist, a JavaScript function stub is added to the file.
