eValid -- Control Mode Transition Diagram

Control Mode Transitions
During a test recording eValid can be in a number of states, and the current state affects how user actions are recorded in the script. The diagram below indicates how to switch the different modes on and off. Here is a quick summary of the available control mode toggles:

With none of these options activated (but check your standard settings), eValid is in normal recording mode (DOM/HTML mode).

Recording Mode Changes Toggled via Function Keys

Recommended Practice
In practice when you are making a recording you may need to toggle into and out of these modes based on what you see eValid recording in the script window. It's a good bet that if you take an action and nothing happens in the script window that you will either (a) need to use one of the above-defined options or (b) mark that part of your script as needing manual modification.
