6Iframe IndicesSpecify Iframe Indices value. Specifying iframe indices ensures that the target element is identified correctly within the nested frame structure.
You can provide comma-separated values. For e.g. 0,1,2.
7Iframe XpathIframe Xpath is a uniquely generated path that represents the location of an <iframe> or <frame> relative to the top-level window.

Iframe Xpath identifies each frame using a unique attribute such as id, name, or title if available, for example, iframe[@id='mainFrame'].

If no such attributes exist, the frame is identified by its position among sibling frames, like iframe[2] for the second iframe.

For nested structures, each frame is joined in sequence to form a full path. For example, if an element is inside an iframe[@id='outer'], which contains a frameset with a frame[@name='middle'], and that frame contains iframe[@title='inner'], the generated path would be:
iframe[@id='outer'];frame[@name='middle'];iframe[@title='inner'].

Note: If an iframe or frame has no id, name, or title, its origin (i.e., the src URL) will be used as a fallback in the path for unique identification. For example: iframe[@origin='https://example.com'].
8Frame IDProvide the current Iframe Id to target a specific iframe to perform the action.
Default Value: frameID
