Simplified recording experience

Professional and Citizen developers can use the Recorder to start a recording directly from a business application. You no longer need to identify the target business application from a list of applications opened. This enables a simpler and faster recording experience with real-time visibility and control of the automated actions.

Important:
  • The simplified Recorder feature is not available out of the box and can be enabled on an on-demand basis. Contact your Automation Anywhere account team for assistance.
  • This feature is supported with Recorder package (version 2.15.2-20231004-180246 and later).

Real-time feedback

  • Simplified Recorder provides real-time feedback on the objects captured.

    For example, if you accidentally have any false clicks, missing clicks, or additional clicks, these are shown in the capture area in the Recorder window. This real-time feedback enables you to review the recorded actions, preview the images that you captured, and take actions in the midst of the recording. The captured object is also highlighted for better visibility.

  • You can use the Delete icon to delete any captured object and recapture the object if required.
  • You can use the arrow above the captured area to traverse through the objects you captured earlier.
