Adding Steps to Processes with Certify LiveTouch

With Certify LiveTouch™, you are able to learn objects while adding steps to your process and save the objects to a specific application version. These learned objects are saved to your Certify database, and these objects can be used in other processes.

Multiple Select Option

When inserting new steps, you can select multiple objects to create several steps at one time. In order to create steps in the correct order, select the objects accordingly.

To add steps to a process with Certify LiveTouch:

  1. Open the application and navigate to the screen that you will use for your Certify process.
  2. In the Certify Navigation pane, click Processes.

The Processes window opens.

  1. In the Processes Summary pane, right-click a process and select Edit or double-click on a process.

The Process Editor opens.

  1. Click the Steps tab.

The Steps tab opens.

  1. In the Step grid, right-click on the step you want to go before the step you are creating and select Insert Step Below Using LiveTouch. If this were a new process with no steps, then you would have to first add a step before you right-click on the step to invoke the Insert Step Below Using LiveTouch menu option.

Certify minimizes, and the Certify LiveTouch utility opens.

  1. In the LiveTouch utility, click Pause so that you are able to configure LiveTouch.
  2. From the LiveTouch menu, select how you want to learn objects. For descriptions about the LiveTouch menu options, see Understanding Certify LiveTouch.
  1. Click Start to begin creating steps.
  2. Place your mouse over the application window.

A red highlight appears around objects in the application.

If you want to change the highlight color, from the Certify LiveTouch menu select Settings > Highlight Color.

  1. Click on the highlighted object(s) that you want to add to your process.

LiveTouch validates the selected object to ensure that it is recognized by Certify for the current project.

If it is not recognized and you selected the Save Objects to Application Version option, then LiveTouch displays a message stating that you will not be able to select the object because it has not been learned or associated with the application version in the current project. This object may be present in another application version.

  1. After you have completed your selection, click the Save and Close button in LiveTouch.

The Certify Process Editor opens. In the Step grid, the step or multiple steps has been inserted for the selected object(s), and the steps are populated with the following information:

  • Application version
  • Window
  • Object
  • Action
  • Parameters

Parameters will only be captured if values were present in those fields when captured by LiveTouch.

  1. If needed, modify the action and add any needed parameter information.
  2. Repeat this process to add additional steps.
  3. Click the Save button to save the process.
  4.     Note:  If you are having trouble using LiveTouch for Java, the following log files are located on your C:\ drive: TimeTrackFRomLivetouch.txt and livetest.txt.
