    The object map displays a hierarchy of the object map items and the locator associated with each item.
  3. Look for any item name or locator text displayed in red.
  4. If necessary, modify the item name or locator text to meet your needs. If you use an invalid character or locator, the item name or locator text displays in red and a tooltip explains the error.
