System Dialog Functions for Scenario Editor Scripts

Last

reviewed:
September 24, 2026

System dialog functions help Scenario Editor scripts respond to browser or operating-system prompts that appear during a test.

What changed in this article

  • Use these functions only for dialogs that are expected and repeatable in the target workflow.
  • Prefer application-level controls when possible; system dialogs can vary by browser, operating system, and permissions.
  • Add screenshots or output evidence when troubleshooting inconsistent dialog behavior.

Validation workflow

  1. Identify the exact dialog text and when it appears during playback.
  2. Use the appropriate dialog function in the Scenario Editor script.
  3. Replay the scenario on the target browser and node to confirm the dialog is handled consistently.

Review note: Updated terminology from older designer wording to Scenario Editor and clarified that system dialogs can be environment-dependent.
