Mouseover An Element: MOUSEOVER

The Mouseover An Element action is used to move the mouse pointer over an element such as a link, button, or any interactive element without clicking it. This action is helpful when triggering hover actions, such as displaying tooltips or activating dropdown menus.

Example: Let’s hover over a Profile Icon on a web page to display the dropdown menu.

Steps to configure:

  1. Select Mouseover An Element from the Action drop-down.
  2. In the Screen Name field, enter the screen where the element is located (e.g., Home Page).
  3. In the Element Key field, select the element to be hovered over (e.g., Profile Icon).
  4. Click Save.

Note: While the steps for adding an Action are identical in both views, the display of the steps changes:

scrn-mouse-over-an-element-tabular-view
Tabular View
scrn-mouse-over-an-element-card-view
Card View

Note: Ensure that the Screen Name and Element Key are pre-defined before using this action.

Expected Outcome on Execution: The mouse pointer will hover over the “Profile Icon,” and the dropdown menu associated with the hover action will be displayed without any clicks performed.
