Step Navigator pane

The Step Navigator is a table view of the function calls in the script. The Step Navigator pane allows you to navigate to a specific step within your script.

Tip: If your script contains many steps, use the Search box to find the matching text in the steps.

Important information

  • The Step Navigator is not supported for DevWeb scripts.

  • You can search within an action or script but not across multiple scripts in a solution.
  • You can move this pane to different areas of the Main User Interface. For details, see How to modify the VuGen layout.

  • You can view the script in either action or script scope.

  • Every step that has a snapshot is marked with an icon. When hovering over a step that has an associated thumbnail it is presented as a tooltip.

  • Double clicking a step, takes you to the corresponding location in the script and synchronizes all other panes.

  • Step Navigation is synchronized based on the validity of the script. You can check the status of the pane during script editing.
