Enter Text

Purpose

The "Enter Text" action allows users to type text into a specific field on a webpage or application, such as a login box, search bar, or form field. To perform this action, you must provide an identifier for the input field, such as its ID, class, type, title, or value. The automation tool then locates the input field using the specified identifier and writes the provided text into it.
