Recording Methods for Recording Profiles

You can set one of the following recording methods for each of your recording profiles. To view your recording profiles, click Settings > System > Recorder.

record new instances	When this method is set, the Recorder records all instances of an application that are started with the Recorder or afterwards. Instances that are already running at the time the Recorder is launched will not be recorded. To set this method, select a recording profile, click Edit, and make sure that Record new and running instances (Secure Boot mode) is disabled. This option is automatically enabled on machines that have the UEFI feature `secure boot` enabled.
record new and running instances	When this method is set, the Recorder records all instances of an application that are already running at the time the Recorder is launched, as well as all instances that are started with the Recorder or afterwards. To set this method, select a recording profile, click Edit, and enable Record new and running instances (Secure Boot mode).
record through system proxy	When this method is set, the Recorder records through the Windows system proxy. Note: In this case, the Recorder captures the traffic of all applications that use the system proxy. You can exclude unwanted traffic from your script by using the filters and script generation settings on the Capture File page. To set this method, select a recording profile, click Edit, click Web Settings, select Proxy, and select Automatic browser configuration.
record through application proxy	Some applications (including Firefox) allow you to use an application-specific proxy and therefore ignore the system proxy settings. When this method is set, the Recorder records through the custom proxy of the respective application. To set this method, select a recording profile, click Edit, click Web Settings, select Proxy, and select Manual browser configuration. In the application you want to record, set the proxy to `localhost` and the HTTP proxy port configured in the Recorder (the default is `8080`).

The Recording Profiles page lists all recording profiles you have specified manually alongside a number of default recording profiles. When a recording profile is checked in this list, it is marked as active. All active recording profiles can be selected from the Recording Profiles list on the Model Script dialog.

You can select which of your recording profiles the Recorder uses for recording:

Profiles started from the Model Script dialog or recorder: When this option is selected, only the recording profile that is selected on the Model Script dialog is used, once you start the recording. However, when you select a recording profile directly within the Recorder and click the Start Application icon, this recording profile is used as well, since it is initiated explicitly.
All active profiles: When this option is selected, the Recorder uses all recording profiles that are active (checked), once you start the recording.
Note: When you have selected this option and start your recording from the Model Script dialog, you still have to select a single Recording profile. However, the Recorder will use all active recording profiles during recording.

Tip: The Recorder shows you which recording profiles are in use by displaying the icons of the recorded applications on the bottom right.
