Capturing Processes with Worksoft Business Capture for Mac

After Worksoft Business Capture for Mac starts, all interactions within the SAP GUI for Java application are captured. These processes can be imported into other Worksoft products for document generation, automated business process discovery, and testing acceleration.

Be careful when entering confidential information because all interactions are retained while Business Capture is in Capture mode. Remove the image from a selected step using the Shred Step Image button in the Step Details pane to reduce the chance of revealing confidential information.
