No.Field NameDescription
1Step NameName of the step. This name has to be unique in a single workflow.The data type is String and the field is mandatory.
2Web Browser NameSelect any one Web Browser Name from the given list.
Note: Select the same Web Browser Name which was selected in Start Browser Step.
3Selection OptionsThere are two options to iterate through entire table or specific row with specific columns.
- Entire Table With Specific Columns.
-One Row With Specific Column.
4Criteria‘Criteria’ is the criterion to locate elements on Web GUI. GUI Spy can capture it in the Generate Step dialog. Upon Step Generation, it is populated in the step configuration. You may change criteria by choosing from the list in the ‘Step Generation’ window or step configuration.
5Criteria ValueRelevant criteria value to be specified.
6Element Index(Starts with 0)Specify the index of the element you want to locate.
Note: One can also specify First or Last. First, if you want the first element from the located element or specify Last if you want the last element. Default Value: ‘0’
7Iframe 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.
8Iframe 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'].
9Frame IDProvide the current Iframe Id to target a specific iframe to perform the action.
Default Value: frameID
