You don't say which part changes, but I'm going to go with the URL being stable.  I would define a variable with a short name to be equal to your URL string and then use the variable in the page name.

    Hi Marsha, 

     

    The part that keeps changing is highlighted in blue: 

    Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("https://uat.testenviroment-test.com/customers/").Panel("portal").Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(2).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).Button(0) 

     

    Please provide with illustrative example in here. 

    I would like to achieve 2 things if possible: 

    1. To shorten this object id. 

    2. To use a wild card on the these panels as they keep changing. 

     

    Many Thanks, 

    Az.

        Hi, 

        Do i need to declare the use of * anywhere in TestComplete because it tells me Unexpected Token *.

         

         

        Thanks,

        Az.
