QTP has Smart Identification, which is more flexible process for identifying objects provided it is enabled in Object Identification settings.

Smart Identification properties are:

• Base Filter

Base Filter Properties: It contains the fundamental properties of a specific test object class, whose values unable to change, without changing the essence of the original object.

Optional Filter Properties: The other properties that can help identify objects.

Step 2: Click Configure button and choose the Base Filter and Optional Filter Properties

Step 3: Add Properties in Base Properties apart and also we can add/remove Optional Filter Properties. Click "OK".
