What is the Clear Highlight Action?
The Clear Highlight Action clears the highlight in a web table that was created by a Start Highlight or Search Action. Reasons for using a Clear Highlight Action include:
-
Removing the highlight before using the Screenshot Action as including the highlight may not be desirable
-
Removing the highlight to avoid end-user confusion as they may not know what the highlight means or why it is on the screen
Creating a Clear Highlight Action
Before using a Clear Highlight Action, a highlight should first exist. For demonstration purposes, we will assume that a Start Highlight Action has already been used to highlight the cell in the first row and first column :
To clear the highlight, drag and drop the Selector onto the currently highlighted table cell to display the Target Preview . Choose the Clear Highlight Action to display the Action Builder.
Note: The Clear Highlight Action is only available when the Highlighted Target or Table is selected. To learn more about highlights, read the Understanding Web Tables section in the Understanding Targets article.
Select the Rules to change the Connection for this Action. Timing settings for this action may be configured to fine tune the how the Action will run.
