Editing Mobile Interface Objects During Process Creation and Execution

You can edit learned Mobile objects when creating a process or during a manual execution. When an attribute string no longer describes a window or object, you can fix the failed object with the Edit Object tool. With this tool, you can see which attribute names and values are not matching and fix them.

After you edit an object in the Edit Object tool, the updated Mobile object persists through all processes that use this object.

System objects can not be edited.

Edit Object Utility Toolbar

The Edit Object toolbar provides the following functionality:

Button	Description
	Touch Live Object This button utilizes a Touch Live functionality that allows you to select and edit an object in the application. On the device, drag your cursor around the object that you want to learn. A red box appears as you drag the cursor around the object. Right-click on the object and select Update Object.
	Highlight Live Object Click this button to highlight the object in the application. This button is only enabled if the window or object is connected to the live object.
	Rebuild Attributes From Live Object When you click the button, a dialog opens with a list of devices. Select a device and click Connect.

To edit a Mobile object in the Process Editor:

In the Processes window, right-click on an existing process and select Edit.

The Process Editor opens.
In the Process Editor, click the Steps tab.

The Steps tab opens.

In the Step grid, right-click on an existing step in which you want to edit the object and select Edit Object.

Click the Rebuild Attributes From Live Object button.

A dialog opens with a list of devices.
Select a device and click Connect.

When the device is connected, the icons on the Mobile Window and Mobile Object tabs display a Connected icon indicating that the device has been found.

If the device cannot be found because it was not saved into the map, the Mobile Window and Mobile Object tabs display a Not Connected icon.
To match the attribute strings with the object in the application, click the Touch Live Object button.

Right-click on the object and select Update Object.

In the Mobile Object tab, the logicalname and physicalname properties both display Untitled in the Value column.
