# Set Focus on Object

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured element. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to set the focus on the specified captured object within the application. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The **Set Focus on Object** action highlights the captured element on the AUT (Application Under Test) when executed.
{% endhint %}

## **Syntax**

**Input Value**: `N/A`

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**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: Setting Focus on a Captured UI Element**

In this example, we are explaining how the action brings a specific application element into focus to make it active for further interaction.

* **Action**: Set Focus on Object
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * The action directly sets focus on the element captured from the application.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The execution result is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the focus is set successfully.
    * **False**: If the focus is not set successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Set Focus on Object** action does not require any input value. It identifies the target element based on the captured object in the application and brings the element into focus by highlighting it on the screen. The execution result (**True**) is stored in the **{Status}** 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/web/common-web-operations/set-focus-on-object.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.
