Syntax -

TypeValue <Value> <App Name> <Element Identifier>

       Where:

               <Value> is a literal string or a variable that contains a string value.

               <App Name> The name that represents an opened application.

               <Element Identifier> is a valid element identifier as described in Element Strings and References.

Description:

This command is used to enter the value specified by <Value> into the element defined by <Element Identifier>. Values are entered one character at a time, as if typing. There are some cases where a button or another element is not activated on the page until there is a click or keystrokes detected in another element. For example, on a search screen, some search criteria may need to be entered before the Search button will be enabled.

Note: If you are typing in masked fields (Date, SSN, Phone Number, etc.), it is recommended to strip out any masks in your data before using them in this command.

Sample 1:

       The following statement enters the name "Steve" into the first name field in the Revenue Cycle Application.

Sample 2:

       The following statement enters the value of the variable, FirstName, into the first name field in the Revenue Cycle Application.
