  • On screenshot (left), you can select the element for which you want to retrieve information and find it on the right:

  • In this case, the tab “Actu” have the field ‘text’ set with ‘Actu’. So in GDSL we can search the text Actu to find this tab (if there is no other element with the same text in the screen).

    • clickById,exampleid : click on an element which have exampleid in resource-id field

    • waitUntilText,Actu : Wait an element which have ‘Actu’ in text field
