If you add a new Screen or ScreenGroup element directly (rather than importing by clipboard from the Workflow Recording Viewer), you will need to add a Reference element to the Screen element.
Without a screen Reference element, your ability to utilize the productivity features of the Mapper are extremely limited since there will be no screen image available for the management of Recognize and Field elements.
You may also want to import additional screen Reference elements in the case where a Screen or ScreenGroup represents a relatively dynamic screen. For example, a screen that displays error messages in a particular portion of the screen is a good candidate for having multiple Reference elements (one with error messages and one without).
Performing the Screen Reference Import
1. | With a ScreenGroup or Screen element form selected in the Treeview, click on the Import buttom |
2. | A File Open dialog will be displayed for the first Import operation, for the second or more Import, skip to step 5 |
3. | Select a Recording file (.rec) or Trace (.log) - the File Open dialog starts on the configured Flynet Viewer Recordings Folder, but you can Browse to any folder available |
4. | On selecting a file to Open, the Screen Recorder Files Import Form is displayed with all of the screens contained in the selected file |
5. | If the displayed file is not the one you wish to import from, use the File - Open another File pull-down menu to select a different file |
6. | You may scroll to the desired screen -- note that you can change the width of the Import Form to re-tile screens to the most convenient configuration |
7. | Note that recognized screens have a blue title bar while unrecognized screens have a red title bar. |
8. | Click on the screen you wish to Import |
9. | The Screen Recorder Files Import Form is hidden, and your Reference Element has been added as a child of the currently selected ScreenGroup or Screen element. |
10. | The selected screen is also made the active screen in the Screenview Pane, ready for mapping of Recognize or Field elements |
