# Element Identifier Order

### **Element Identifier Order** 

Element identifier order feature maintains the stability of the element by changing the priority of element identifier 

For example: If any object’s identifier like class name attribute is stable which will be never changed so for this scenario will give priority as 1 for class name attribute

 **New Enhancements:** 

* *Two custom properties (custom 1 & custom 2) have been added to the Element Identifier window, allowing users to define attributes and set priorities.*
*  *Elements can also be drag-and-dropped to assign the highest priority for debugging and execution.*
* Name and value of the custom Attribute is editable
* When user don't provide any data for initial 8 attribute and only provide element locator in custom Attribute (only one/both), the element will get identified in debug mode, execution via client.
* Attribute name will be mentioned while identifying the element in console in debug mode and execution via client
* Attribute name will be reflected in web reports within R**ecovered by** column
* Self-heal can also be enabled to custom attributes
