Recorded apps

View and manage the list of applications where tasks made by the users are captured. The Recorder Client logs only data for these applications.

The Recorded Apps feature enables you to make sure the recorder is only collecting important data from specific applications selected in the tool. By selecting only specific application the amount of nosiness in data is reduced and the recorded focuses on gathering only the data it needs.

This way you can make sure that only data permitted is captured, and information from websites, or application from the deny list is ignored.

In order to tell if the application is recording data from an application, a green light shown by the client is visible .

Under the Recorded Apps section, create the Recorded Applications list by adding applications or websites. This is a mandatory step to be able to record successfully. The recording application will only log data for these applications and websites.

Below is an overview of the available lists:

• Globally for all users - the list of applications that are implemented and recorded for all the users. Once you set the list of the Recorded Apps, users cannot change it.

  • Allow recording - the list of applications and websites that will be included in the recording.
  • Deny recording - the list of applications and websites that the Recorder will ignore when recording.

Allow an application or website to be recorded

To add an application or website to the Allow recording list, use the Search option to be sure the app is not already added and follow the applicable scenario as listed below.

Perform the search as in the illustration below:

You can also select applications and/or websites from the Deny recording list and move them to the Allow recording list.

Follow these steps to add an application or website that is not available in the Allow recording list tab.

1. Select Allow.

2. The Allow Application or Website pop-up is displayed.

3. Enter the name of the application or the domain of the website for which you want to allow recording and select Add. See the illustration below for an example.

   

For executables, make sure that the name you enter is the same as the file name of the executable, and that it is in the .exe format. For websites, make sure that you enter the correct domain name and the extension, for example, uipath.com. To find the correct executable name of an application, see How to Find the Executable File for a Program.

Note:

If a browser was set on the allow list, all websites/url are collected. To avoid collecting data from personal websites, use the deny list to prevent specific websites from being collected.

You can also just add the websites from where you want to record data in the allow list. This ensures that you collect data only from the allowed websites.

Note:

By adding a website to the Allow recording list, you are giving permission for that specific site to be recorded regardless of what browser is used to access it. Even if the browser itself is not explicitly added in the Allow recording list, the permitted website will still be recorded.

Note: Applications that require OS Administrator permissions to run won’t be captured unless the user runs the recording application as Administrator.

Deny recording an application or website

To add an application or website to the Deny recording list use the Search option to be sure the app is not already added and follow the applicable scenario as listed below.

You can also select applications and/or websites from the Allow recording list and move them to the Deny recording list.

Follow these steps to add an application or website that is not available in the Deny recording list tab.

1. Select Deny.

2. The Deny Application or Website pop-up is displayed.
3. Enter the name of the application or the domain of the website for which you want to deny recording and select Add.

For executables, make sure that the name you enter is the same as the file name of the executable, and that it is in the .exe format. For websites, make sure that you enter the correct domain name and the extension, for example, uipath.com.

To find the correct executable name of an application, see How to Find the Executable File for a Program.

Delete an application or website

Follow the steps below to Delete an application from the recording list.

1. Locate the application or website in the list and select the option button.
2. Click on Remove.

3. The application or website is removed from the list.

   Important: If the recorded apps list is empty, you will be prompted with a notification dialog that allows you to add apps or skip and proceed, but by skipping, you will not record any steps.
