Web applications can generate dynamic identifiers for objects, for example, id5286, id4731 and so on. The Add Dynamic Identifier Pattern wizard helps you create patterns for detecting dynamic web identifiers. TestComplete can either ignore these identifiers or extract and use their non-dynamic portion. For more information, see Handling Dynamic Identifiers in Web Applications and Handling Dynamic Identifiers in Hybrid Mobile Applications topics.

The wizard is opened when you click the Add button in the Object Identification or Hybrid mobile option in project properties or in default project properties.

The wizard includes the following pages:
