When a locator is constructed, the attribute type is automatically assigned based on the technology domain that your application
uses. The attribute type and value determines how the locator identifies objects within your tests. Supported attributes include:
- caption
- The text that the control displays.
- priorlabel
- Since input fields on a form normally have a label explaining the purpose of the input, the intention of
priorlabel is to identify the text input field,
RumbaTextField, by the text of its adjacent label field,
RumbaLabel. If no preceding label is found in the same line of the text field, or if the label at the right side is closer to the text
field than the left one, a label on the right side of the text field is used.
- StartRow
- This attribute is not recorded, but you can manually add it to the locator. Use
StartRow to identify the text input field,
RumbaTextField, that starts at this row.
- StartColumn
- This attribute is not recorded, but you can manually add it to the locator. Use
StartColumn to identify the text input field,
RumbaTextField, that starts at this column.
- All dynamic locator attributes.

For additional information on dynamic locator attributes, see
Dynamic Locator Attributes.
Note: Attribute names are case sensitive, except for mobile applications, where the attribute names are case insensitive. Attribute values are by default case insensitive, but you can change the default setting like any other option. The locator
attributes support the wildcards
? and
*.
