Once you have the Recorder, you will need to open the UiRecorder.Executable.exe. The system will ask you for admin privileges, which are neccesary for the Recorder to recognize all the elements on the screen.

Selecting a Project

This is the Recorder start window, here you will be able to select between creating a new project or loading a previous one.

New Project

If you want to create a new project fill the Project Name and Project Directory with the name and folder path that the Recorder will use to save the Project.

By default, the Project's Name is Project1 and it's Directory is the users Documents folder with the new folder RecorderProjects.

Loading Project

If you already have a Project, then click on Open Project button, in here you need to provide the .rp file. Go to the saved location and select the .rp file.

Before Recording

These are some recomendations that you can follow:

  • Open the application that you want to record. Avoid unnecessary intereactions and keep the recording cleaner.

  • In case of follow a script, keep it on a side or another monitor. Again this will prevent undesired interactions. Or you can use the pause/continue button to interact with other applications during the recording.

Make sure that the Scale and Layout in the Windows display settings is set to 100%. Follow this if you want to know how to change the Scale and Layout on Windows.
