1. If the locator is on a frame, you need to define the frame by clicking Yes under Located in a Frame? and using the frame XPath. If you have nested frames, you can include the XPath’s for all the frames separated by “;”
2. If the widget is on a popup window, you need to include a text or phrase that uniquely identifies that popup (only exists on that popup) and add it by clicking Yes under Located in a Popup?
3. If you have XPath specific to each type of browser, you can include that under Advanced Browser Specific section of locator and populate XPath in the IE XPath, Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari XPath, etc. These XPath’s XPaths have priority over the general XPath identified.
