Creating an Insert action

This topic describes how to create an Insert action during a screen operations recording.

You can create Insert actions during flow recording or during screen operations recording, with somewhat different results (see Comparison of results: Flow recording and screen operations recording).

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 create an Insert action during screen operations recording:

  1. Navigate to the application screen for which you want to create an Insert action.
  2. On the toolbar of the host editor click Insert Data into Screen Insert.

  3. Selecting a field:
    In the session area of the host editor, move the mouse pointer icon to the field in which you want the Insert action to insert text.
    Note: Whenever the mouse pointer icon passes over a field that allows text input, the host editor highlights the field with a red underline that is turned up at the ends (see Figure 1).

  4. Click the field to select it as the field to be used with the Insert action.
