namemapping - mapping child
It is possible to map an object and all its child? Thanks PS: If more people are working in a same project suite (on the same software), what is recommended: - to use a different name...

Hi Carl-Hartwig
We work in a similar environment whereby there are three base applications, so the process name is different, but thereafter, all the windows, controls, etc. are the same. In order to avoid having to re-map each of these separately, I created three name mapping configurations, i.e. all of the controls have to be mapped once anyway, so when that is complete, use the name mapping editor/configuration manager to copy it to a new configuration. So, at this stage I have 3 different configurations, each with their own name which corresponds to the version of the application that they are for. So, when I have to test any one of them, the first thing my tests do is to call a shared method, which determines what application is being used and applies the desired name mapping file. Is this something that might work for you?
You can find out further details in the on-line help, under Name Mapping >> Configurations.
