Host Screen Fields window

All host screens are made up of protected and unprotected fields. When you open a screen in Interaction Host Recorder, all the screen fields are listed in this window. You can use screen fields to define validation rules and user defined fields.

  • Protected screen fields
    These are read-only fields in which data is displayed. Handlers cannot change the value in a protected screen field. Examples of a protected field include a screen label, a screen ID number, or account information in tabular form.

  • Unprotected screen fields
    These are read/write fields into which handlers can write data. An example of an unprotected field is a Choice where you type a menu entry to change screens.

Creating validation rules from screen fields

Right-click on a screen field and choose Add as Validation Rule... to add the selected field as a validation rule. Interaction Host Recorder creates a Match Text type validation rule. Right-click on the new validation rule if you want to make changes.

Creating user defined fields from screen fields

Right-click on a screen field and choose Add as User Defined Field to add the selected field. You can define the field as absolute or ordinal.
