Hi Jennifer,
Automatic name mapping uses the default recognition criteria which may not be reliable for your particular application in some cases. Creating a name mapping scheme manually is more reliable because you can specify recognition criteria for each item manually and use the properties which are known to remain persistent in further versions of the tested application (for example, if there are multiple similar panels on the same level of objects hierarchy and you know that only one of them will remain visible, you can map the object by using the Visible property). Also, you can use the Extended Find feature to make TestComplete find an item regardless of its position in the objects hierarchy when you create a name mapping scheme manually. Please see the "Name Mapping - Overview" ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=3827 ) and "Using Extended Search Criteria for Mapped Object Identification" ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=2884 ) help topics for more information.
