You can record Insert actions during flow recording or during screen operations recording, with somewhat different results (see Comparison of results: Flow recording and screen operations recording).
Deleting and re-recording an Insert action: If you select the wrong field when you are recording an Insert action you can quickly delete the Insert action and re-record it if you have not navigated away from the application screen (see I inserted data in the wrong field when I created an Insert action. How do I quickly fix this problem without having to start the flow record process over?).
You can have multiple Insert actions for the same application screen, and you can have Extract actions and Insert actions for the same application screen.
To record an Insert action:
On the toolbar of the host editor click Insert Data
into Screen
.
If you have not selected a variable message file and a variable message then the host editor opens the No Variable Message File window and prompts you to select or create a message file and a message for the flow (see Specifying a variable message later on during flow recording). Make your selections and click OK.
From the list of variables displayed in the window select the variable that you want to use with the Insert action.
You can create a new variable by clicking Add new variable and typing a variable name. The window creates a new String variable and adds it to the list of available variables.
Click the field to select it as the field to be used with the Insert action.
