Hi kiran,

Go to the “Tools > Object Identification”.

It's the place where you can define the mandatory & assistive properties.

Please let me know if you need more clarification.

Hi saini,

Thanks for ur reply.

I want to know how should we decide , that which properties to keep in mandatory, assistive, Base filter and optional filter.
When should we go for smart identification.

Thanks.

Hi Kiran,

The property which is the most suitable to indentify the object (For Example: ID in most of the cases) comes under mandatory property.

The property which is not able to find the object uniquely itself but is used with the mandatory property to recognize the object is known as assistive property (For Example: Name, Text etc).

Smart Identification is used when both mandatory & assistive property are not able to identify the object. To use it in our test we have to just enable it. QTP will do all the required processes itself (when/how to use it).
