Depending on how complex the app you want to monitor is, recording a test as mentioned above might not be sufficient and running the test might fail after some time.

The "xpath" available will be displayed in the list. Just select the most convenient one. If you don't know which one to use, the one with the shortest and clearest description is usually the best one - for instance, in this case:

//*[contains(@text,"1")]

You may also browse the xml tree to manually find other xpath on the app.

Once you spotted the "xpath" you want to use, click on the three dots icon to the right and select the action you want to perform:
