When action element missing: This option lets the user select one of four actions from a dropdown menu to specify what should happen if the selected element is missing. The default value is set to "Warn".
Fail: If the element is missing, An error message is generated in the logs and the agent fails.
Warn: If the element is missing, A warning message is generated in the logs and the agent continues.
Ignore: If the element is missing, the agent skips child commands and moves to the next command.
Passthrough: If the element is missing, the agent ignores it and continues executing child commands.
Selected action element: In this section, the user can view the selected action element in HTML format, displayed within the box. Please note that this HTML content is non-modifiable, meaning the user cannot make changes to it. This feature is particularly intended to allow users to see the selected element.
Action → Action settings
The Action section determines the JavaScript actions to be performed while using this command. The users can also customize the actions after unchecking the ‘Use default action script’.
Action Script: This pane defines the JavaScript actions that will be performed. Based on the selection in the form field, the actions are automatically generated by the command. A user can also manually use JavaScript actions post unchecking the ‘Use default action script’
Use default action Script: This check box determines if the automatically generated action is appropriate for the command or not. If a user wants to input different actions, then the user must uncheck the box and then input the actions in the ‘Action script’ manually.
Break List: By default, it is set to "Default," meaning Sequentum Cloud will decide the most appropriate behavior. Users can manually set it to "Yes" or "No" depending on how the action affects page loads and the agent behavior.
