Send Function Keys as Inputs

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured element. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to perform the send function key action specified in the input value on the captured element. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

Syntax

Input Value: <FunctionKey>;<Number(Optional)>

Argument	Description
<FunctionKey> (Required)	Provide the function key you want to perform on the element.
<Number> (Optional)	Provide the number of counts you want to apply the function key. Note: If no number is provided, the action automatically uses 1 as the default value.

Output Value: <Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)

Argument	Description
<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable> (Optional)	Both dynamic variable stores the status as True or False.

Example: Simulating a Function Key Press on a Captured Element

In this example, we are explaining how to simulate pressing a function key (e.g., Enter) on a captured UI element within the application.

• Action: Send Function Keys as Inputs

• Input Value: Enter

  • The first argument (Enter) specifies the function key to simulate on the captured element.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The result of the function key action is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable with the following possible values:

    • True: If the function key is executed successfully.

    • False: If the function key is not executed successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Send Function Keys as Inputs action reads the value from the Input Value column (Enter). It identifies the captured UI element, and simulates the corresponding function keypress. The execution result (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
