Customize settings

This topic describes how to fine-tune automatic scrolling, text recognition, and visual scope settings for a codeless script or a selected step. This helps enable unique object identification.

Overview

You can customize settings at the script level or at the level of a specific step. Script settings affect the whole script. Step settings override the script settings, and apply only when running the specific step.

Keep the following details in mind:

  • Scroll settings take effect only when running the script, while text recognition settings and visual scope settings affect inspection as well.

  • Script settings do not affect automatic scrolling in Verify and If steps. By default, Verify and If steps do not scroll the application to locate the object. This ensures that the application remains in the same state at the end of the step.

    If necessary, you can override this behavior using the step settings.

General notes about configuring settings: 

  • To open the script settings, click the Script settings button .

  • To open a step's settings, select a step in the Editor, and, in the step editing pane, click the Override script settings button .

  • To remove step customizations and use script settings for that step, click Revert to script settings .

  • If the values you configure in step settings are the same as the script settings, the customization is not saved. Therefore, these values will not override future changes in script settings.

Customize scroll settings

  1. Open the script or step settings.

  2. Set the scrolling direction and the maximum number of scrolls.
  3. To deactivate automatic scrolling, clear Automatic scrolling.

Customize text recognition settings

You can configure the recognition method and the languages to recognize.

  1. Open the script or step settings.

  2. Select whether to use only OCR to recognize text, or also application info.

    For details, see Combine OCR with application info.

  3. To add OCR languages, click the + Add Language button.

    You can delete OCR languages or drag and drop the language text boxes to change the recognition priority of different languages.

    If you change the language settings after inspecting your application, consider the following:

    • Re-inspect the application or mockup images to use the new language settings.
    • If you use different language settings for different steps added to the script using inspection, adjust the settings of each step to identify the relevant languages.

Customize visual scope settings

Visual scope settings control whether object identification is performed in the application page area or in the whole browser area.

You can configure the visual scope used for object identification and inspection.

  1. Open the script or step settings.

  2. Select whether to detect objects within the area of the application, on in the full browser area.

    In both cases, any objects within the specified area are identified. This includes objects that are part of the application page as well as objects displayed on top of it, such as pop ups or dialog boxes.

    Tip: The Additional options> Page scope option, is available only to support backward compatibility. For details, see Visual scope.
