Modifying a recorded simulation:

May 15, 2015

I am testing the recording simulation mode feature. I went to a company application and put in my personal name and password. For a trainee, I would need to customize this so the trainee would put in a generic name and password. I changed the User ID to JDoe and the password to PW. But even though I changed this for the Hint Caption and Base layer text, when I submit, it still looks for the original ID User and Password. I would need to be able to change that. Is it possible to do that? If so, how? Also, can I photoshop the video that plays afterward so when it begins to play again it actually sees the new User ID as JDoe instead of my actual name?

Hi William,

There is a method described here on how to hide sensitive information in a screen recording that could help get you started.  

In regards to the user ID/password - does it need to be a valid ID? It would likely involve a lot of variables and Javascript to check the IDs against an external database, so if that's what you need - I'll defer to our awesome community. If you just want to confirm the user has enter something, you could change the trigger to check that the text entry is not equal to (blank) - meaning the user entered at least something there.
