**Example 1**

**Scrolls left within a scrollable element by a specified number of steps**

The **Scroll Left IRIS** action takes the value from the Input Value column **(e.g., 3)**, where **3** represents the number of scroll steps. It scrolls the captured scrollable element to the left by the specified count.

**Example 2**

The **Scroll Left** **IRIS** action takes the value from the Input Value column **(e.g., 3;1)**, where **3** represents the number of scroll steps and **1** (optional type) sets the scroll thumb to the middle of the scroll bar, then scrolls left the specified number of times from that position. It scrolls the captured scrollable element accordingly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/desktop/iris/scroll/scroll-left-iris-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
