When i select CurrentlyActiveWindow for Record:Capture, it tries to capture on A360 interface where we do our project

 

Also there is no window name that i want to capture, so i cant keep on.

    Hi @Semih Öztürk​ ,

     

    Currently Active means exactly that - the window which is kept active.

    Its not the best option to use, in fact I would recommend creating and using a Window Variable toggled to Application. Don't use Browser, as it will also include the URL of the webpage.

     

    Using Application, you can capture the Window Title and add wildcards to make it more dynamic.

     

    Here is an article I penned if you are interested to read more.

     

    Kind Regards,
