    1. Open the child window, and open its associated Object Spy to add the child window objects to a new child window object repository.

    2. Open the child window. Click the Select Mode button of the Object Spy associated with the parent window to add the child window objects to the parent window object repository. You can switch between parent and child windows to add their objects using the Select Mode button.  

      Note: It is recommended to use Web Object Spy in left dock mode or right dock mode. If you want to use it in any other dock mode, re-enable the Hover/Image button to start using it.

      You can also detach Object Spy UI with the application under the test page and also add the child window objects as shown in the above-mentioned step. However, if you are adding objects for multiple application pages in the detach mode, the Web Object Spy adds the objects of all the pages in the same object repository.
