Locator Groups

Locator groups cluster related selectors and bind them to a module and route context.

Create a locator group

1. Go to Locator Groups -> Create.
2. Set Name (must be unique).
3. Select Module.
4. Optionally set Route (defaults to /).
5. Save.

How locator groups are used by the locator creator

When you create a locator from Locators -> Create, Appraise tries to match the picked page pathname to an existing locator group route.

• If a matching route exists, Appraise suggests that locator group automatically.
• If no match exists, Appraise can suggest a new locator group name and a best-fit module.
• You can still override the suggested group, route, or module before saving.

Why use groups

• Keeps selectors scoped and maintainable.
• Reduces collision between similarly named locators.
• Improves discoverability in test-case flow editors.
• Makes route-based locator suggestions possible during live capture.
