Configuring Recorder Settings

To configure the recorder settings, click the recorder settings icon on the PTF Recorder.

This list describes the recorder settings:

Field or Control	Description
Use Page Prompt	If you select the Use Page Prompt check box, the Test Recorder will replace menu navigation steps with a Page.Prompt step and Page.PromptOK step. The Test Recorder records menu navigation steps, but they are set to inactive. Note: When recording a search page with facets, PTF does not automatically insert Page.Prompt constructs because all user actions with facets must be recorded. When using Page Prompt mode, explicitly enter the values for the key fields. Do not perform a partial search and pick from the list. If you must click a drop-down list, search, or take any other action on a search page, do not use Page Prompt mode, use explicit menu navigation. See Page.
File Download Prompt	Select the File Download Prompt check box to prompt for the file path when recording a step that does a file download as well as a file upload. See Download
Message Recognition	Select the Message Recognition check box to automatically configure message recognition for any messages, such as error, warning, or information messages, that the application generates during recording. When the Test Recorder adds a new message it also sets Use Message Recognition to True. See Handling Application Messages.
Use Scroll Variables	If you select the Use Scroll Variables check box, when recording activity in scrolls and grids, the Test Recorder will replace the row number suffix $n by the selected PTF variable. For example if the field is FIELDNAME$0, and the scroll variable is &scr1, PTF will record FIELDNAME&scr1. See Scroll
Run Control Recognition	If you select the Run Control Recognition check box, the Test Recorder will replace all recorded actions on a PsRun Control (Process Scheduler page) with the Process.Run Step. Note: Similar to the Page Prompt with facet, this option is only applicable to a conventional Process Scheduler page. See Run
Use Page Expand	If you select the Use Page Expand check box, when you click an image to expand a page section or scroll area, instead of recording the image click, PTF will record the page.expand action. See Page
Ignore Login Steps	If you select the Ignore Login Steps check box, the Test Recorder will ignore all actions on the login page.
