   Alternatively, you can right-click an application tab title or a component in the Recorder View to create a Tree Modes definition.

2. If no definitions exist, select the green plus sign.

3. If definitions exist, use one of the following methods:

   • To add after existing entries, select the green plus sign.

   • To add between existing entries, select the preceding tree mode, then select Add Below to insert the new one.

4. From the list, complete the following Finders entries:

   1. From the Device drop-down list, select the device.

   2. Type the Application name.

   3. Type the Component name.

5. From the Tree Mode list, select one of the following:

   • ISA: Turns on user interface (UI) recognition that determines interface elements from a graphical representation of the program interface. Use this mode with programs that do not provide automation API.
   • Windows: Provides options for the widget tree generated using Windows automation API.
   • No Tree: Does not populate the application tree. Use this option for applications that become unstable if a robot tries to extract their trees.
