Getting Started with Recording  

Perform actions on the web application which get saved as test steps in the recorder.

Using Spy Mode of Recorder 

Spy, an advanced recorder feature, lets you inspect and retrieve the properties of a desired object. Useful if an object is missing during recording.  In Spy mode, hold the Alt key and hover the mouse over the object to fetch its details. 

Spied object properties are displayed in the recorder's bottom pane. In the images, the spied object, its image, and its properties are visible. Add the retrieved object directly to the step or Object Repository (OR). 

If you want to add it to the step then click on the Add Step icon by choosing action from the drop-down list. When you use the Add Step icon then this fetched object will be added within the current recording session only.
