When secure recording mode is enabled, the bots do not capture values of certain properties or store application images. This ensures that sensitive data is not stored in the bots. This setting only applies to bots that are created or edited after the mode is enabled.

A user with admin privileges must enable secure recording mode. See Configure Settings.

To capture objects in secure recording mode, ensure that the Recorder package is set to 2.0.0-20200318-020414 or higher. See Manage Control Room packages.

When you record a task in secure recording mode, the Preview window temporarily shows the captured area. This image is deleted after you close the bot.

When you record a task in secure recording mode, you can choose whether or not the captured images are available for preview and stored in the Control Room. See Secure recording
Note: Ensure that you use the latest version of the Recorder package. If you are using the 2.7.3-20220527-004608 or an older version of the Recorder package, a preview of the images will be shown in the Bot editor when the objects are captured. The images will be discarded when you refresh the Bot editor.
The following object properties are not automatically captured by default as they might contain sensitive data. If required, you can manually update the values of these properties to uniquely search the object. In addition, you can also review and ensure that any of these object properties do not contain any potentially sensitive data.
