We're happy to help out MikeJP.

Users are often confused by the different navigation commands recorded by eValid.

It is essential to know the basic difference between each navigation command to aid in a better understanding of how the script command structure is developed during a recording session.

Understanding these navigational commands enables a user to hand edit the navigation parts of the script to produce desired results during script playback.

Below are the navigation commands recorded in eValid and a brief description on how these commands are recorded:

(1) GotoLink: This command is the same as typing the URL you want to visit in the address bar of the browser and pressing return where you actually "Go to" the page without clicking on any links from the previous page visited.

(2) FollowLink: A Follow Link command is recorded when the user clicks on the link from within a page.

(3) WaitRedirect: A WaitRedirect is recorded when eValid detects additional navigation away from the target page recorded from the previous navigation command.

(4) Redirect: A Redirect command, essentially the same as a WaitRedirect command is recorded instead of a Goto Link when an additional navigation is detected by eValid.
