Tutorial: Setting values to an application with recorder

Learn how to use the Set Value and Set Execution Throttling commands to set values in a sample application.

Before you proceed with the procedure, make sure you comply with the following requirements:

  • Product requirements
    IBM RPA Studio license

  • User requirements
    You must have permission to use the IBM RPA Studio application.

    For more information about how to manage user's roles and permissions, see Managing user's roles.

  • Computer requirements
    Use screen scale at 100% when mapping controls.
