# Verify count

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Dropdown Element** from the **Desktop Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to verify the user provided input count with the total number of options in the dropdown.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<value to be verified>`

| Argument                                        | Description                                                          |
| ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<value to be verified></p><p>(Required)</p> | Specify the value to be verified against the value from the dropdown |

**Output Value:**

| Argument                                                    | Description                                                             |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);\<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the action result as **True** or **False.** |

**Example**

**Verifies the count of items present in the dropdown list against the expected value**

The **Verify Count** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **4**) and compares it with the actual number of options present in the dropdown list. The result of the verification is stored in the **{Verify Count}** variable as **True** (if the provided count matches the actual item count) or **False** (if the count does not match)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/desktop/dropdown/verify-count.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
