Manual Step Organization ​

Inside the AI Recorder, you can manually organize test steps to fine-tune the sequence, simplify complex flows, or update test logic. BlinqIO provides intuitive controls to insert, move, or rearrange steps directly within the scenario editor.

Merge Steps ​

You can merge two steps to combine all their actions into a single, streamlined step.Merging helps simplify the scenario and keeps related actions under one clear, descriptive step.

  1. Hover over the step you want to merge into another.

  2. Click and drag the entire step and drop it into the target step.

    merge-steps

  3. A Confirm Merge Step popup appears, listing all actions from both steps.

  4. Review the combined actions and click Merge Steps to confirm.

After merging, the target step becomes a combined step that includes all actions from both the original and dragged steps. The source step is removed.

Move Actions Between Steps ​

Use the drag-and-drop handle to move recorded actions within a step or between different steps. This helps in regrouping or reordering actions for better clarity.

  1. Hover over the action inside any step in the AI Recorder.

  2. A six-dot drag handle appears on the left side of the action.

    drag-cursor

  3. Drag the action to:

    • A different position within the same step, or

    • A different step entirely.

      move-step

  4. Release to drop the action in the new location.

WARNING

While moving actions helps in improving clarity, it can also impact how the scenario executes. For example, separating a login flow incorrectly could cause failures. Always verify the logic after rearranging actions.

Add a Step Above or Below ​

Insert a new step anywhere in the scenario to add missing actions or modify the test flow.

  1. In the AI Recorder, hover over a step in the scenario panel.

    manual-step-org

  2. Click the three-dot menu on that step.

  3. Select Add step above or Add step below.

    above-below

  4. A new empty step appears at the selected position.

    add-step-above

NOTE

The newly added step becomes the active recording step, marked by the red record icon. New interactions will be recorded into this step. You can also reorganize your scenario by moving existing actions into this step.
