Parameters for a Mouse-Click Action

click:
Robot can record these action parameters for the following types of multi-row
DataWindow and DropDownDataWindow presentation styles: FreeForm, Grid,

Value-Based Recording
By using value-based recording, Robot lets you record actions on a DataWindow and
lets you play back those actions regardless of the position of records in the database.
Value-based action parameters are written to a script as column/value pairs, using
either the column number or the column name.
