    You should look at the list of properties used to find Logout button in Name Mapping window. If these properties with their values does not uniquely identify the Logout button in all test cases then you should modify this list after finding such a properties.

I do not completely understand the solution that you are proposing, since I couldn't get it to work, so some elaboration would be appreciated.



To elaborate on the problem I am facing, I am using Data Loop to loop the data, and users with different statuses would have a slightly different layout in the page. When the Logout button is found on a different location, the system wasn't able to detect it, from what I did with it. I attached two pictures to show what I meant.



In the Click_OK picture, everything worked fine. However, in the Click_Not_OK picture, because the Logout button is found on a different spot, the system didn't find the Logout button and will not move on.



Another thing: when I attempted to use Data Loop to search for the Logout link, there will be an error found in the Click_Error picture.



So I ask again: what should I do to be able to click on the Logout button if it is found in different locations for each user?



Thanks for reading.
