1. On the desktop window, Click Capture Element button to bring up Avo Assure Client pop up.

2. Enter "Window Name or Process ID" in the Enter Window Name/Process ID textbox and click Launch button to get directed to the window.

3. Choose a method from the available element identification method to capture element

Following are the methods available with us while capturing the window through Desktop:

Method	Description
Visible	This method captures visible elements in the Application Under Test (AUT) by selecting appropriate element capture types from the dropdown
All	This enables capturing all elements in the AUT, including hidden elements regardless of their capture type.
Manual	This method allows capturing elements manually by navigating to the AUT.
UIA	This method works well for modern applications and is useful for capturing elements that support Microsoft’s UI Automation. It helps Avo Assure identify elements in applications with standard UI structures.
Win32	This method works for older applications that do not fully support UIA. It helps capture elements using the Windows API, making it suitable for legacy applications or controls that are not easily identified by UIA.
IRIS	It is used to capture the elements based on coordinates and positions on the application under test.
Capture type	This type includes various element types, allowing users to choose the necessary element type and capture the elements accordingly.
Delay	This method works for elements that have longer loading time in the AUT, such as alert popups, hence this option specifies a certain amount of time for these elements to load before capturing them.

1. Select the elements shown in the elements list and move them to the element repository by clicking on the Add button.

2. After clicking the Add button, the selected elements get added to the Element repository
