Click on object item fail when find changes in menu items of left tree menu items

Question

Hi,Due to role definition we have different(less or more)&nbsp;menu items in our left tree view . For an example --&gt; my first user have 4 items(A , B, C, D) in left tree and record a script to click (B) for this user and now with data loop try to execute same script with another user which have (G, H,B, D,E) items in his left tree.So this script failed on second user. It might be because of mapped object have (("ContentPanel_searchExplore_trvExploret2")) but on second user it is (("ContentPanel_searchExplore_trvExploret3")).Please guide us how to overcome with this situation.Are test complete using Xpath part definition for object mapping?Can we use different locator to map objects?&nbsp;Thanks,Shailesh&nbsp;&nbsp;

Your issue is that you are dealing with dynamic objects...The object identification in Name mapping must take those change (order or visibilty) into account...Personnaly, I don't use Name mapping because many of the components are just changing too often....&nbsp;There are 2 aproaches you can use... here are two functions that I use when having to deal with dynamic content...First one uses Xpath search...&nbsp;function TimedSearchXPath(msdelay,source,ElementType,StrValue) {
  var ellapse = HISUtils["StopWatch"];
  ellapse["Start"]();
  var UIObject = null;
  while ((UIObject == null) &amp; (ellapse["Split"]() &lt; msdelay)) {
    var UIObject = source["FindChildByXPath"]("//"+ElementType+"[contains(@data-ui-test,'"+StrValue+"')]",true);
  }
  if (UIObject == null) {
    Log["Message"]("Search delay has expired");
    return null;
  }else
    return UIObject;
}

&nbsp;Second one just explores the childs of a root object with given array of peroperties and values, down to a specified depth and for a certain delay...&nbsp;function WaitFindMyObject(myRoot,myProperties,myValues,Depth,timout)
{

var myTimer = HISUtils["StopWatch"]; // Initialisation d'un chrono
  var myObject = null;
  
  myTimer["Start"](); // Démarrage du chrono
  var myObject = myRoot["FindChild"](myProperties, myValues, Depth,true); // Initialisation de l'object (Dummy)
  // Find an object that corresponds to the specified criteria

while ((! myObject["Exists"]) &amp; (myTimer["Split"]() &lt; timout)) { // Si l'object n'existe pas ou que le temps n'est pas écoulé
    var myObject = myRoot["FindChild"](myProperties, myValues, Depth,true);
    Delay(200); // Pour ne pas accaparer les ressources machine
  }
  var elapsed = myTimer["Stop"]();
  if (elapsed &lt; timout) // On log le chrono peu importe le résultat, un warning si le délais a expiré.
    Log["Message"]("Temps de recherche : "+myTimer["ToString"]());
  else
    Log["Message"]("Le délais de "+timout+" ms. est écoulé."); // On log un message car le warning sera créé au retour si requis
  
  if (myObject["Exists"]) // On retourne l'object s'il existe, sinon un null
    return myObject;
  else
   return null;
}&nbsp;You'll excuse the french 'comment' as that's my natural language :)Hope this helps...

Please attach a screenshot of the Object Browser showing the object and also showing the properties for that object when it is selected.

In the namemapping, edit the identification properties to use:&nbsp;1) ObjectType as Link2) ContentText as Case Collections&nbsp;Remove all other identification parameters.
