The ordinal identifier
assigns the object a numerical value that indicates its order relative to other
objects with an otherwise identical description (objects that have the same
values for all properties specified in the mandatory and assistive property
lists). This ordered value enables QTP to create a unique description when the
mandatory and assistive properties are not sufficient to do so.
In addition, even if QTP learns an ordinal
identifier, it will use the identifier during the run session only if the
learned description and the Smart Identification mechanism are not sufficient
to identify the object in your application. If QTP can use other identification
properties to identify the object during a run session, the ordinal identifier
is ignored.
