Page Element Positioning

The positioning here can generally use Click Classes, Click ID, Click URL And Click Text and other unique attributes to locate, this is more convenient, for example, you can also use Click URL to locate, it can be Click URL equals https://www.bbccss.com/contact-me

If you don’t have these variables in your triggers, please think of built-in variables to uncheck these variables.

2、Set Tag
