Secure recording

You can enable or disable image captures of business applications by setting up secure recording in the Control Room.

Overview

When secure recording is enabled, Bot Creators or Bot Runners cannot capture the application images, values, or texts. As a result, no sensitive data is (intentionally or unintentionally) stored in the bots in the form of images. The remaining automation data, for example, UI object details are captured, and they continue to be captured so that the automation can work seamlessly.
Note: Secure recording is disabled by default and must be manually enabled.

As an administrator, you can apply this setting from the Control Room for all Bot Creators and Bot Runners (for all users or for specific user roles).

Secure recording feature is available for the following packages:
  • Recorder (Universal Recorder and AISense Recorder)
  • Image Recognition
  • Mouse
  • App Integration
  • Wait
  • If
  • OCR
