Discover the ORQA Operations
“Manipulate different operations to customise your workflows”
Overview
Input Parameters
Operations in ORQA may require one or several input parameters.
As default, ORQA expects strings as input parameters. A string is a type of data representing text.
Other types of Input Parameters
Boolean
Type of data that can only have one of two possible outcomes, true or false. This data type is especially useful in control flow operations.
XPath
Expression to identify a UI element on the screen or XML element of an XML document. All the elements in the UI have Xpaths associated with them. You can decide to write the XPath directly or select it with ORQA.
File Path
A unique location to a document in the local system.
Folder Path
A unique location to a folder in the local system.
Constant or Variables?
You can supply as an input parameter a string or a variable. The variable can be defined in a previous step or it can be the output of a previous step. In order to pass a variable as an input just prefix it with a “=”.
=Name will be interpreted as the value of the variable Name
Name will be interpreted as the string (text) Name
Rules of variables
- Variable names cannot be keywords or reserved words (the name of data types). E.g: A variable can’t be name “Date” because date is a data type.
- Variables names cannot include blank spaces or symbols.
- Variables names should always start with a letter of the alphabet.
- Variables names are case sensitive - ie Name and name are two different variables.
- Two different strings of data cannot have the same variable name.
- When using a variable as an input parameter it should include an equal sign before the variable name.
E.g: Input Paramenter: =myVariable
