User Actions Configuration Overview
To view and modify the action taken by a specific scenario step:
- Double-click the scenario step whose actions you want to configure.
- In the configuration panel that opens in the right side of the GUI, open the User Actions tab.
- Review the existing actions (initially, the ones captured during recording) and modify the settings as needed to specify the actions you want performed. You can choose from the available pre-set actions, or define a custom one.
Using Data Sources to Parameterize User Actions
You can use data sources to parameterize user actions—for instance, to have a type action iterate through a set of different values stored in an Excel spreadsheet.

The element that is the source of a user action will be highlighted with a solid blue border in the scenario step’s Pre-Action Browser Contents tab.
Changing the Target of a User Action
To quickly change the target of a user action, right-click the related element in the Pre-Action Browser Contents tab, then choose the appropriate Modify command.

If the user action that you want to change is not associated with a specific element (for instance, a "close" or "navigate" action), click the User Actions tab and choose a new action from the Action drop-down menu to modify the target.
