REC documentation

The REC watches you run a procedure and writes the step-by-step guide on its own: every action becomes a described step, with a screenshot of the screen as it was when the action happened. The result is a Word document ready for review and distribution and, in the SAP and web modes, an automation script as well.

This manual covers version 1.1.0 and follows the order of use: choose the source, record, review and generate.
