Object Detection

A action's detected object is the object that was clicked on during wizard recording. By default, this is the object that the robot will act on when the wizard is run. However, there are numerous methods by which a step's detected object can be moved, customized, or changed in order enhance robot performance and to ensure position accuracy. Additionally, in certain circumstances, detected objects can be used for purposes other than determining a step's core action position.

This chapter describes the basics of object detection. Detailed information about optimizing and customizing detected objects can be found in the Core Actions chapter of this guide.
