Identify Salesforce-specific controls

When you scan your Salesforce application with XScan, by default, all Salesforce controls are uniquely identified by the ApiKey property.

The Container property is available in the Identify by Properties window of XScan Advanced View for all Salesforce controls with the default value of Main.

The Container property has special values for specific controls. In these cases, the Container property is used for uniqueness identification:

• Controls located in related lists have the name of the related list as the Container property value.

• Controls located in panels have the following Container property value based on the panel type:

  • Controls in Highlight panels: Highlight

    Controls in Key Fields: KeyField

    Controls in Cards: the name of the card

• The links in the App Launcher All Items drop-down menu have the App Launcher Container property value.
