Adding a new Screen Element

A screen element should be defined for each screen that is involved in a controlled transaction or which is being redesigned for HTML presentation.

As with Creating a New Screen Definitions file, you can either import your Screen definition from the WorkFlow Recording viewer, or create it directly.

Creating a Screen Element Directly

1.	Before working with a screen, you should have a Workflow Recording (.rec file) or Trace (.log) file which contains at least one image of the screen you will be adding

2.	Add the new Screen element by right-clicking on the FlyConnector element or a ScreenGroup element and choosing New - Screen

3.	Click on the Import button in the new Screen Element Form to import the first Screen Reference from the Recording file or Log created in Step 1

4.	Now that you see the screen you are working with, you can name it

5.	You need to define the screen recognition by swiping unique text that identifies this screen and creating one or more Recognize elements

6.	If your screen has fields that should be read or written by your application, you should add one or more FieldMap elements so that the field locations and sizes can be maintained in your definitions file rather than in your application(s)

7.	See the section Organizing with ScreenGroup Elements to learn how to organize your screens that you add...

Importing a Screen Element from the WorkFlow Recording Viewer

1.	Switch your view to the Text (XML Editor) view

2.	Change focus to the Workflow Recording Viewer (launch it if not open already)

3.	In the WorkFlow Recording Viewer, open the source workflow recording if not already open

4.	In the Recording Viewer, scroll to the source screen and generate the individual screen's XML

5.	Change focus back to the Mapper application window

6.	Move the cursor in the XML editor view to the location you wish the new screen to reside

7.	Use the Control-V key to perform a clipboard PASTE of the XML generated by the Viewer

8.	Switch back to the Graphical mode, and you will be able to see your screen in the location it was pasted (you might have to open some ScreenGroup elements to find it if it was pasted inside a group)
