Creating projects
•
Change editable content or translate localizable terminology by editing terms defined within <trans-unit> tags.
When you insert the <BREAK> and </BREAK tags in the script file, the re-recording script automatically stops
running when it encounters these tags and skips all operations between these tags. However, Captivate records all
manual operations that you perform in the running client while the script waits. You need to press a predefined
key to switch back to the automatic re-recording mode. When you insert the <SKIP> and </SKIP> tags, the script
automatically skips the operations between these tags and continues re-recording. For more information about
defining the key to switch between automatic and manual re-recording, see Step 4 in the “To set recording
options:” procedure.
If you have translated the script file into the required languages, you can create a new project for every language
simply by using the re-recording script. You can then save the project in the relevant language directories.
During re-recording, Captivate enforces breakpoints after waiting for a predefined duration and then displays a
message with the following information:
Reason for the break.
The message can include any of the following reasons for breaking:
•
The layout of the recorded page is different from layout of the page that you are re-recording.
•
The order of the elements in the recorded page is different from the order in the page that you are re-recording.
•
The wait time for opening a new window has been exceeded.
•
The wait time for opening a dialog box has been exceeded.
•
The wait time for downloading a document or web page from the Internet has been exceeded.
•
Script index.
Captivate assigns an automatically generated number for every action and includes it in this
message.
•
Corrective actions to choose to perform.
You can choose to perform one of the following corrective actions:
•
Retry Current Action.
Click this button if a new window or dialog box failed to open or if a web page failed to
download. This button is disabled when the error pertains to page mismatch.
•
Continue From Next Element.
Click this button if the window or dialog box opened or if the web page
downloaded after this message displayed. This button is disabled when the error pertains to page mismatch.
•
Switch To Manual Mode.
If a manual action is required to open the window or download or refresh the web
page, click Switch To Manual Mode. Ensure that the new window is open, or that the web page is downloaded,
and then press the predefined key to resume automatic re-recording starting with the next action in the re-
recording script.
