I have 3 different accounts in a website that I want to login and print a report every single day.

I've done a Selenium IDE recording that allows me to login and print the report, however, every day I have to change the variable 3 times (for the 3 different usernames and passwords).

How can I pass a variable to the "value" field of the "type" command?

Thank you.

Best,

You can go with parameterization

For parameterization you need to create js file

For eg. Js file contains

var username = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]");
var password = ["parameterization1", "parameterization2"];

You can upload this JS file to Options > Options... > General tab > Selenium IDE extension.

Sample script for parameterization
