Attributes:

Match Index and Match Reverse

When identifying an application element using Application Modeller you will notice
that there are two attributes available called Match Index and Match Reverse. These
attributes are available for all application types.

Match Index and Match Reverse are not attributes of the identified element, but
instead are controllers of how Blue Prism will search for the element at run time.

When Match Index is set, Blue Prism will stop searching once an element has been
found, instead of continuing to search for potential duplicates. Using this attribute
may significantly increase the search speed (especially when using the Java and
Accessibility interfaces) but should only be used in circumstances where duplicate
elements are either unlikely or can be ignored.
When using Match Index, Match Reverse will make Blue Prism search in a bottom-up
order rather than the default top-down order. Again, this may improve the search
speed but only experimentation will tell.

The match index value can be changed to any numeric value. For example, if set to 2
it will ignore the first element found that matches all the other selected attributes
and find the second matching attribute instead if one exists.
This can be a very useful when identifying screen elements that are otherwise not
unique. For example, in the earlier Object Studio exercises the Ordinal attribute was
used to uniquely identify elements in the Order System application. If the Ordinal had
not worked and elements were still not unique (returning multiple matches), Match
Index could have been used instead.
