Secure recording
When secure recording mode is enabled, bots do not display the target
object images after capture. This ensures that sensitive data is not shown.
Note: Although the bots do not display the target
images after capture, the images are still stored in the Control Room because they are required to run the bots.
When you record a task in secure recording mode, the Preview window temporarily shows an image of the captured area. This image is hidden after you navigate away from the Bot editor window or refresh it.
A user with admin privileges must enable this setting. See Configure Settings.
