Configure Tag Finders

There are multiple ways to define the tag path for a tag finder. Design Studio builds the path automatically when you interact with the browser\HTML\DOM path views to create an action or right-click and select "use this tag" or "use only this tag." Alternatively, you can manually define the tag path.

In the Page View, click Tag Finder Show Tags Found By Node Finder to see the tag found by the Tag Finder.

Configure Tag Finders using one of the following methods:

  • To configure Tag Finders manually, enter details in the Finder tab.

  • To configure Tag Finders automatically, select a tag in the Page View and click Set Selected Node in Finder Set Selected Node in Finder. This configures the Tag Finder to find the selected tag using a tag path in simple mode.

  • To configure Tag Finders from a context menu, in the Page View, right-click a tag. If you select Use Tag from the menu, the Tag Finder is configured to find the right-clicked tag using a tag path in simple mode. Similarly, if you choose another action from the menu, it selects a corresponding step action and configures the Tag Finder to find the right-clicked tag.

  • To configure Tag Finders for a step action, select a new step action. Some actions, when selected, configure the Tag Finders so that they find the tags typically used for that action. For example, the Submit Form action uses one Tag Finder and sets its tag path to "form" to locate the first <form>-tag in the page.

  1. In the Designer, right-click a node and select Insert Step > Action Step,
  2. Select an Action from the list.
  3. On the Actions tab, define attributes based on the Action selected.
