15 Element Selector Settings

Opens a menu that allows you to adjust element selection preferences for this guide. Element selector options include:

  1. Element Text
  2. Element Title
  3. Id Attribute

Do not use Element Text or Element Title if capturing elements for multi-language deployment.

Some HTML elements have an id attribute. If they do, they are good for capturing the element because they tend to be constant and are unique in a page. Unfortunately, some applications either do not conform to the uniqueness on a page or may dynamically change the id.

For such applications, of which Oracle Fusion Applications is an example, do not use Id Attribute.
