Learning Objects While Adding Steps 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. You will be able to use these new learned objects in other processes because these objects are saved in your Certify database. After you have created your steps, you will notice in the Maps window that the new learned objects appear with the application version.

This feature is only available for the SAP, HTML, Silverlight, and Java interfaces.

Multiple Select Option

When you learn new objects and insert new steps, you can select multiple unlearned objects to create several steps at one time. In order to create steps in the correct order, you will need to select the objects accordingly.

To learn objects while adding process steps 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 appears.

3. In the Processes Summary pane, right-click a process and select Edit.

The Process Editor appears.

4. Click the Steps tab.

The Steps tab appears.

5. 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 appears.

6. In the LiveTouch utility, click Pause so that you are able to select options from the menu.
7. From the Learn menu, verify that the Learn Objects as Needed option is selected.
8. From the Learn menu, select Save Objects to Application Version and a specific application version from the drop-down list. If a version is not specified, you will be prompted after your object selection to specify a version.
9. If you want to view the object's fields, select View > Fields.

10. Click Start to begin creating steps.
11. 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.

12. Select multiple objects you want to add to your process by clicking on the highlighted objects.

If you selected to view the fields, the object information for each of the selected objects appears in the text fields of the Certify LiveTouch utility.

13. After you have completed your selection, click Save and Close in the Certify LiveTouch utility.

The Certify Process Editor appears. In the Step grid, multiple steps has been inserted for the selected objects, and the steps are pre-populated with the following information:

8. Application version
9. Window
10. Object
11. Action
12. Parameters

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

14. If needed, modify the action and add any needed parameter information.
15. Click the Save button to save the process.
