difference between Focus and Verify

[CarlosGomez1]

Hi ,i am having some issues When I use Focus in a spied field before the action, i change it to 'Verify" and works fine. But i am not sure when use Focus or use Verify.

I use BP 7.1 with JDEdwards.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey Carlos, I hope you are doing well. I will do my best to try and explain the difference between verify and focus below. 

Focus - This will interact with the target application, and move the focus to the specified element. A comparison would be like clicking inside of a textbox to "focus" it and type inside of it.

Verify - This will not interact with the target application like focus does, but it will instead verify that Blue Prism can identify the target element with the supplied parameters. There is also an additional option with verify that allows you to highlight as well. 

I hope that helps!
