Performs different actions with a web element, such as clicking, setting the text, and retrieving the specified element property.
Locating the Element Identifier
Use the Legacy | Perfecto IDE object locator to generate a unique element identifier, assigned as the Element Identifier.
The Xpath is automatically generated as the element identifier. If the object has an ID, the Xpath will be based on the ID; otherwise, the full path in the tree is used.
Other identification methods (HTML id, HTML name, HTML class, HTML tag, text, or partial text) may be used. These values must be entered.
