Starting v5.6, Qualitia automatically enables this option while adding new objects using Qualitia Object Spy. You will see the SmartLocator option on the right-hand side corner in the Object Spy window. Qualitia highly recommends to keep this option enabled.

Info

If you wish to enable this option for this object later, you will have to perform either of the following steps for SmartLocator to work for this object:

  1. Add the object again using Qualitia Object Spy.
  2. Specify a valid xpath manually for the object, it will be identified by SmartLocator only after the first execution.
