Record

Recording is the fastest way to turn a manual browser task into something reusable in XY.

What to record

Good recording candidates are:

  • repeatable portal tasks
  • predictable data-entry flows
  • upload or download steps
  • navigation paths your team performs often

How to get the best result

Record one task at a time

Keep the workflow focused on a single outcome.

Move deliberately

Clean recordings are easier to replay and easier to refine later.

Avoid extra clicks

Only capture the actions that are actually part of the task.

Save with a clear name

Use a name that explains both the action and the system involved.

After recording

Once the recording is saved, the next step is usually to:

  1. replay it
  2. review the steps
  3. add variables where needed
  4. make the workflow more reusable
