Recording rules:

• 100%DPI.

• When using visual approach make sure to use commonly DPIs used (By users) resolution 

• If the screen sizes are not the same make note and plan accordingly 

• Don’t ever define a web browser as an application.

Windows rules: 

• Try to be as specific as possible regarding window deduction.

• Don’t put a long wait time for finding a window as this will keep the bot ideal until that period is over.

• If you use a visual action in your flow don’t add the visual command to your window tab.

Advanced commands:

• Always at the end of the step.

• There are ADC which you can’t use in a ADC step (Because they require a visual step)

Detectable Objects:

• It must be static.

• It must be unique 

• It must at least 3 letters long.

Offsets:

• Keep the distance from the detectable object to a minimum 

• Don’t overlap your offset with your detectable object 

• Make sure that the distance between your detectable object and your offset is static.

Sensors (Attended Automation)

• Use multistep sensors

• Don’t create 2 overlapping sensors, exact same launching mechanism

• Don’t create a process within a sensor launch a sensor instead.

• Try to minimize the sensors, if possible create one sensor for multiple wizards 

• Create one application that has multiple values and utilize it throw the sensor.
