Understanding Certify LiveTouch

With Certify LiveTouch™, you can learn objects while adding steps to your process and save the objects to a specific application version. These learned objects are saved to your Certify database, and you can use these objects in other processes.

When LiveTouch is open, any click you make with the mouse is captured. As a result, if you click outside of the application, you may need to pause LiveTouch. To pause LiveTouch, click the Pause button on the LiveTouch tool. To restart LiveTouch, click the Start button in LiveTouch .
