During flow recording (see Recording a flow in the host editor) and also during screen operations recording (see Recording a screen operations file) the host editor automatically creates AID key actions and Input actions as you navigate through the screens of the host application, and also allows you to create Extract actions and Insert actions:
AID key action:
When you press an AID key for the currently displayed application screen, the host editor creates a new AID key action and stores the key value (such as F3) and the current cursor position (such as 445) into the new AID key action.
Input action:
When you type text into an unprotected field in the current application screen, the host editor creates a new Input action and stores the field name (such as "FIELD84") and the text that you typed into the new Input action.
Extract action and Insert action:

Data Into Screen

and specify the required information, the host editor creates a new Extract
action or Insert action and stores the required information into it. See the
following links:
You can also work with actions in the host editor in the following ways:
Whenever the host editor is in flow mode (including during flow recording) you can view or remove the mappings for the Invoke screen operation nodes in the currently loaded flow (see Flow mode: Outline view and Properties view ).
Whenever the host editor is in screen operations mode (including during screen operations recording) you can modify actions in the currently loaded screen operations file using the Outline view and the Properties view, in much the same way that you can modify actions in the screen operations editor (see Screen operations mode: Outline view and Properties view).
