Consider the following scenarios when recording processes with RPA Recorder to ensure the captured events are as accurate and robust as possible.
-
Recording applications started as an administrator
-
To capture a process where you need to run an application as an administrator, you must run RPA Recorder as an administrator. Otherwise, RPA Recorder cannot capture the events from the application.
-
Because you cannot start RPA Recorder as an administrator from RPA Manager, this process works only when you start RPA Recorder in standalone mode by right-clicking the executable file or the shortcut and selecting Run as Administrator.
-
-
Record processes using a single screen
-
If your setup uses multiple monitors, use only the screen where RPA Recorder shows the Recording Toolbar to capture the entire process.
-
To prevent issues during the recording, avoid opening applications on a different screen or moving windows between screens.
-
-
Do not change system settings during a recording
-
To prevent inaccuracies in the captured events, do not change any system settings (specially display settings such as screen resolution or scaling) while recording a process.
