Setting Object Map Preferences

Specify whether object maps are recorded, which project to record them in, and how to handle locked object maps.

  1. Click Tools > Options.
  2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Record in the Options menu tree.
    The Record options display in the right side panel.
  3. Click General.
  4. To record object maps, select Yes from the Record object maps list box.
  5. To record locators for locked object maps, select Yes from the Record locators for locked object maps list box. If you select Yes, when an object map is locked, any previously identified object map items are used where applicable and locators are used for any new objects that you record. If you select No, you must wait for an object map to be unlocked before you can record.
  6. To specify the project in which Silk Test Workbench searches for object map items and creates items if no matching items are found, select an option from the Object map location list box. By default, Silk Test Workbench searches the current project to find matching object map items to use when recording. If no matching items are found, Silk Test Workbench searches the Common project. If matching items are found in the Common project, those items are used. If no matching items are found in the Common project, Silk Test Workbench creates the new items in the current project. If you select Current Project, object map items use the project in which the visual test or script resides.
  7. Click OK.
