    Tip: Make sure the application is added and X-rayVision is enabled, as in the following screenshot. (Enabling X-ray Vision controls whether Automatic Step Creation or Targeted Step Creation is enabled.)
    Enable X-ray Vision
  2. Click the Record button.
  3. Perform the steps for the process in your automation.Result: As you move through the process, the Recording Assistant creates steps in your automation, using the logical controls, objects, and values that X-rayVision reads from your application.Note: In Automatic Step Creation, make sure you actually click buttons. The Recording assistant cannot capture pressing Enter on highlighted buttons.
  4. Optional: To pause the Recording, click Stop.Result: You can then test recorded steps, or use the options of the Actions menu.
  5. Optional: While Automatic Step Creation assigns the most common values to a control, you can click the More icon and edit the values.
