Description
This script step uses an object name to identify an object, so you must assign a unique object name
to each object on a layout that you want to go to.
Notes
• If this script step specifies an object on a tab panel or a slide panel that is not the front-most
panel, the specified object is selected and the panel it is on moves to the front of the panel
control.
• If the script step specifies a field on a popover, the popover opens.
Example 1
Navigates to a text field named "First Name".
Go to Object [Object Name: "First Name"]
