To open the Screen Recognition Settings page:
In the left pane, select .
The Screen Recognition Settings page opens in the right pane.
Whenever a new screen message is created, a default screen description is included in it (see Default screen description).
The Screen Recognition Settings page allows you to specify the contents of the default screen description, that is, to specify the descriptors that you want to be included in the default screen description that is added to every new screen message.
The following types of descriptors are available to be included in the default screen description:
Text-matching descriptors:
| Text-matching descriptor: | Actual descriptor used to perform the action stated in the text-matching descriptor: | |
|---|---|---|
| If the new screen message does not contain BMS information:1 | If the new screen message does contain BMS information:2 | |
| Match text in named field: | Field Pattern | Field Pattern |
| Match text at screen position: | String | String |
| Match text in row: | String | String |
| Match all text in screen: | String | String |
Note 1: See Creating a screen message.
Note 2: See Importing a BMS map.
To add a text-matching descriptor:
Click OK to add the text-matching descriptor.
After a default screen description containing a text-matching descriptor has been added to a new screen message, you can edit the actual descriptor (String descriptor or Field Pattern descriptor) in the screen message editor in the usual way.
If the second level (the level for a particular terminal applications subproject) is enabled, then the default screen description from the second level is used in new screen messages for that terminal applications subproject, instead of the default screen description from the first level (for all service flow projects in your workspace).
To specify the default screen description for a particular terminal applications subproject do the following:
In the Choose Project window, in the Terminal Project list, select a terminal applications subproject and click OK. A Screen Recognition Settings window for that terminal applications subproject opens.
This feature is extremely useful when you want to create screen messages for a group of application screens that share some common text feature (such as a heading at the top of the application screen).
You could proceed as follows:
Create a new screen message for each application screen by capturing each application screen in the host editor.
The result is that, without any additional work on your part, each of the six new screen messages now contains a screen description that distinguishes this group of six application screens from all other application screens (by the descriptor that matches the common string in Row 2), and that also distinguishes each screen from the others in the group (by the descriptor that matches the unique string in Row 3).
