1. Open your scenario in the Scenario editor. To do this, right-click the needed scenario in Project Explorer and then click Edit or double-click the scenario.

2. Switch to the Operation Repository panel and select the needed operation.

3. Switch to the Scenario Explorer panel.

4. Move the mouse cursor to the place in the scenario where you want to place it. While you are moving the mouse pointer, LoadComplete will change the pointer to reflect the position to which it will insert the operation.

   

5. Click in the panel to add the operation to the selected position.

Some operations can have child operations (for example, Loop, While, Group, Page, and so on). LoadComplete will simulate child operations within their parent operation body.

To add a new child operation to an operation in a scenario:

1. Select the needed operation in the Operation Repository panel and move the mouse cursor to the parent operation in the scenario.

   – or –

   In your scenario, select an existing operation that you want to make a child to another operation and then drag it to the parent operation.

2. The mouse pointer will indicate the insertion point for the operation:

   

To make an operation a parent for other operations:

1. Select the needed operation in the Operation Repository panel and move the mouse cursor to the operation you want to be a child of a new parent operation.

   – or –

   In your scenario, select an existing operation that you want to make a parent to another operation and then drag it to the child operation.

2. The mouse pointer will indicate the insertion point for the operation:

   

Request operations only can be children (direct or indirect) of a Connection operation. Connection operations only can be children of page operations.

You can also copy or cut operations to the clipboard and paste them from the clipboard.

To copy or cut operations:

1. Select an operation in the Scenario Explorer (use Ctrl+click and Shift+click for multi-selection).

2. Right-click the selected operations and then click Copy or Cut.

To paste operations from the clipboard:

1. In the scenario, select the operation that will be the parent for the operations you want to paste. (For information on the scenario hierarchy, see above.)

2. Right-click the parent operation and then click Paste.

   If the selected operation cannot be the parent of the operations you want to paste, the Paste command will not be available.

3. LoadComplete will insert operations from the clipboard to the scenario as the children of the selected operation.

You cannot add new HTTP requests, WebSocket messages, and connections to your scenario directly. However, you can copy and edit existing ones.

To copy or cut requests, messages, or connections:

1. Select the needed operation in the scenario (use Ctrl+click and Shift+click for multi-selection).

2. Right-click the selected operations and then click Copy or Cut.

To paste requests or WebSocket messages from the clipboard:

1. Important: Make sure that your scenario shows connections:

   

   You can only insert requests and WebSocket messages as child items of the Connection operation.

2. In the scenario, select a connection within which you want to simulate the requests or messages.

3. Right-click the connection and then click Paste:

   

   If the selected operation cannot be a parent of the operations you want to paste, the Paste command will not be available.

4. LoadComplete will insert requests or WebSocket messages from the clipboard to the scenario as children of the selected connection.

To paste connections from the clipboard:

1. Important: Make sure that your scenario shows pages:

   

   You can only insert connections as child items of the Page operation.

2. In the scenario, select a page within which you want the connection to be simulated.

3. Right-click the page and then click Paste:

   

   If the selected operation cannot be a parent of the operations you want to paste, the Paste command will not be available.

4. LoadComplete will insert the connection and all its child operations from the clipboard to the scenario as a child of the selected page.

To change the operation order in the scenario, drag the operation to the needed position in the scenario.

Right-click the operation in the scenario and then click Delete.

– or –

Select the operation and press Del.
