Tip #3: There is a new indicator on the Palette for applications -- we affectionately call it the black eye. This important indicator tells you that the match rules for a control are currently matching more than one target in the application.

Why is this important? Reliable automation only happens if each control matches a single target at runtime. Therefore, when the black eye is shown you will know that you need to perform an extra step for this control. Add one or more additional match rules to the control in order create a unique match to the target you want to automate. This will then turn the black eye to a green eye.
