What are "Ordinal Identifiers" and where it is used in QTP. AS FAR AS i KNOW, its is use..

Answer / moreshwar deshmukh

Ordinal Identifiers have Index, Location and Creation Time
( for only web browser).

QTP is unable to identify an object with recorded
properties(Mandatory & Assistive properties), then it uses
recorded properties and Ordinal Identifier to identify the
object.

Index: Indicates the order in which the object appears in
the application code relative to other objects with an
otherwise identical description.

Location: Indicates the order in which the object appears
within the parent window, frame, or dialog box relative to
other objects with an otherwise identical description.
Values are assigned from top to bottom, and then left to
right.

The Web Browser object has a third ordinal identifier type:

Creation Time:
Indicates the order in which the browser was opened
relative to other open browsers with an otherwise identical
description.

Answer / nalini

Ordinal Identifiers are Location, Index for both windows,
web applications. For Web only, Creationtime has been added
apart from these two.

If QTP is unable to identify an object with recorded
properties(Mandatory & Assistive properties), then it uses
recorded properties and Ordinal Identifier to identify the
object.
