# Get Tree Node Count

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Tree Element** from the **SAP GUI Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to retrieve the number of nodes under a specific tree and save the result in the dynamic variable.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Path1>;<Path2>;…;<PathN>;<>;<ColumnData>(optional)>`

| Argument                                | Description                                                                                                    |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Path1>;\<Path2>;…;\<PathN> (Required) | Provide the hierarchical path of the tree node, with each level separated by a semicolon.                      |
| <> (Optional)                           | <p>Leave this as blank.<br><em><strong>Note:</strong> This is used when optional values are provided.</em></p> |
| \<ColumnData> (Optional)                | Enter the column data value.                                                                                   |

**Output Value**

| Argument                       | Description                                                                |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable> (Required) | This variable holds the count of nodes under the specified tree.           |
| \<Dynamic Variable> (Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the execution status as **True** or **False**  |

**Example 1**\
**Fetches the number of child nodes for the specified tree node path.**

The **GetTreeNodeCount** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls)** and retrieves the count of child nodes under that path. The result is stored in the **{TreeCount}** variable.

**Example 2**\
**Fetches the number of child nodes under a specified tree node in the SAP GUI**

The **Get Tree Node Count** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls;<>;Controls)** and retrieves the number of child nodes under the specified node.\
The count is stored in the **{TreeCount}** variable.

## 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/sap/tree-control-operations/get-tree-node-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.
