Synopsis:

This guide explains how to use key columns and row numbers when interacting with Tables.

Applicable to:

Interacting with data in a Table.

Prerequisite:

Need to have defined a Table in the Page File Builder.

How to:

 

Key Columns:

Key Columns (row constraints) are used to identify which particular row to interact with based on information that is already within the given row. The Key Column can be text, radio buttons, checkboxes, hyperlinks or select lists.

  1. Select what action step is needed. This example uses the 'click an element' action step.
  2. Identify which Table element needs to be clicked from the options that have been defined in the Page File.
  3. Select what will be the Key Column identifier. The Key Column can be left blank if the identifying cell is blank.

Row Numbers:

If it is known in what row the information is, elements can be interacted with directly by identifying the exact row number.

  1. Select what action step is needed. This example uses the 'click an element' action step.
  2. Identify which Table element needs to be clicked from the options that have been defined in the Page File. 
  3. Use the default row constraint of Row Number. Enter the Row Number that matches the element to be interacted with.
