Hi Judy,
Yes, I found this, and I'm also practicing this, which is everything start from Default Dashboard. However the part that I'm questioning is after that and in the middle of the process. Which is in some cases, like I've described. When a newly open form open, sometime it will pop up a windows like a system notifications, which is only happened one time, so it is not a regular pop up. When the 2nd that same person follow the step, this kind of window will not appeared.
This is what usually makes the Task recorder failed on test machine because it is using different user (usually service user account) because like this scenario :
1. Person that creates the Task recorder, normally already going through all the step over and over the process they about to record.
2. So when he/she doing recording, this pop window that I'm saying will not appeared.
3. And right away, this person will be doing some action which is captured in Task recording, like enter value or click button, in this form.
4. When this recorded is bring to RSAT, than it will start to run, using different user login.
5. When it run, since this is different login, then the pop up will appear, since system will notice this is the 1st time this "user" open.
6. This is make the step in Task recorder not valid and failed.
Sometime, there is also pop up that has an option like this "don't show me this message again", the person may simply says Yes to that pop up question before doing any task recorder (which maybe long time ago). So when they're doing recording, there is no pop up. But during RSAT run, since it will be with different user, it will pop up and makes the test failed.
I believe at this point, start the Task recorder from Default Dashboard is not going to resolve. .
Thanks,
