Robot uses a variety of object recognition methods to uniquely identify objects in
the application-under-test that are acted on during recording sessions.
For example,
Robot can identify a check box in the application-under-test by its object name,
associated label or text string, index value, or ID value.
These recognition methods are saved as arguments in script commands so that
Robot can correctly identify the same objects during playback.
Robot has two predefined preferences for the recognition method order for each
standard object type. While recording an action on an object, Robot tries each
method within the selected preference in sequence until it finds a method that
uniquely identifies the object.
To change the object order preference:
Open the GUI Record Options dialog box.
Click the Object Recognition Order tab.
Select a preference in the Object order preference list.
