Element List Actions

Testsigma provides Element List Actions to manage and work with lists of elements in your test automation. This documentation will guide you through the actions you can perform on element lists, making your test automation tasks easier.

Search Elements

Click inside the Search bar in the top right corner of the Element List page and type the name of the Element you want to find. As you type, Testsigma will show you the matching element. View the element you want by clicking on it in the search results.

Affected List

Click View in the affected list for the element allows you to see how changes to an element affect your test cases, step groups, test suites, and test plans. It helps you understand the impact of any modifications on your tests.

Sort Elements

Click the Sort by option in the menu bar on the Elements List page and arrange your elements based on criteria such as Title, Created Date, or Updated Date. Sorting will help you prioritise and manage your elements easily.

Filter Elements

1. Click on Show Filters in the menu bar on the Elements List page.
2. Select Add Filter from the drop-down list. Choose from the following filtering options: Element Value, Name, Linked to Test Case, Labels, Screen Name, Element Type, Created By, Created Date and Updated Date.

You can use user-defined custom fields and the default fields to filter elements. You can modify the filtering options by selecting Add Filter from the drop-down list and using multiple filters to obtain granular results.

Save Element Filter

1. Click Show Filters in the menu bar on the Elements List page.
2. Click Add Filter to open the drop-down list and select the desired filters.
3. Click Save Filter will make the drop-down list appear for saving the current filter, and select As New will open a pop-up window named Save filter config as. Click Reset to discard the current filter.
4. Enter a name for the configuration in the Config Name field and mark the checkbox to make it Public (Visible for all users with access to the project). Then, click Save to save the filter.
5. Click Saved Filters in the menu bar on the Elements List page to open the drop-down list. In Custom Filters, locate the saved filter, select the filter and mouse over to the filter, and click the Edit button next to the filter name to edit it. To delete the saved filter, click the Delete button.

Update Saved Element Filter

4. In the Update filter config pop-up window, you can enter a new name for the updated filter if necessary. Additionally, you can continue configuring by marking the checkbox to make it Public (visible for all users with access to the project). Finally, click Update to save the changes to the filter.

Reusing Saved Elements

Once you create and add elements to a test case, they are saved in the corresponding project in Testsigma. You can reuse these elements in new test steps in the same project.
