# Send function keys Securely

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured table element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to accept encrypted text and send individual keystrokes to the textbox within the specified table cell. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## **Syntax**

**Input Value**: `<Row>;<Col>;<Object Type>;<Index>;<Encrypted Text>`

| Argument                                  | Description                                                               |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<Row><br>(Required)</p>               | Provide the row number of the specified table cell.                       |
| <p>\<Col><br>(Required)</p>               | Provide the column number of the specified table cell.                    |
| <p>\<Object Type><br>(Required)</p>       | Provide the type of object within the input value field.                  |
| <p>\<Index><br>(Required)</p>             | Provide the element index of the object within the input value field.     |
| <p>\<Encrypted Text></p><p>(Required)</p> | Provide the encrypted keystroke value you want to enter into the textbox. |

**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: Sending Encrypted Function Keys to a Textbox in a Table Cell**

In this example, we explain how to securely send encrypted keystrokes (such as function keys) to a textbox located within a specific cell of a captured table.

* **Action**: Send function keys Securely
* **Input Value**: 2;5;input;1;u6llVGDU88P6XZcLQ0n9Q==
  * The first argument (**2**) specifies the row number.
  * The second argument (**5**) specifies the column number.
  * The third argument (**input**) specifies the type of object present inside the cell.
  * The fourth argument (**1**) specifies the object index if multiple objects exist.
  * The fifth argument (**u6llVGDU88P6XZcLQ0n9Q==**) is the AES-encrypted keystroke value that will be decrypted and sent to the textbox.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of sending the keystrokes is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable, with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the keystrokes are sent successfully.
    * **False**: If the keystrokes are not sent successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Send function keys Securely** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**2;5;input;1;u6llVGDU88P6XZcLQ0n9Q==**). It identifies the table cell located at row 2 and column 5, detects the textbox object present inside the cell, decrypts the encrypted keystroke value, and sends the resulting keystrokes to the textbox. The outcome of the operation (**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/table-1/send-function-keys-securely.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.
