Enabling the Displaying of an Icon When Recording is in Progress

The Display icon when recording is in progress option is used to inform users who are logged in to the Client computer that their actions are being recorded.

It can be enabled either while editing the Windows Client / Client Group configuration, while defining the Client settings during remote installation, or while generating the Client installation package for local installation.

When this option is enabled, the Recording is in progress icon (

) is displayed towards the top-left of the screen by default (and always in front of any applications that are open on the Client computer's desktop).

A user can move the icon to any location on the screen by dragging by dropping it, and the icon will remain in the same position where each user last dragged & dropped it to when they next log in.

To enable the displaying of the "Recording is in progress" icon while editing a Windows Client (or Client group), do the following:

1. Log in to the Management Tool as a user with the Client Configuration Management permission for Clients.

2. Click the Clients navigation link on the left.

3. On the Clients page that opens, find the Client which you want to enable the displaying of the Recording is in progress icon for, and click its name in the Client Name column (or select the Client Groups tab and find the required Client group, and then click on its name in the Client Group Name column).

NOTE: To find specific Clients, the Search box and filters at the top of the Clients tab can be used (or to find specific Client groups, the Search box at the top of the Client Groups tab can be used).

4. On the Editing Client (or Editing Client Group) page that opens, on the Properties tab, scroll down to the Client Mode section, and select the Display icon when recording is in progress checkbox.

5. Click the Finish button in the bottom right of the page, and the Client on-screen recording icon will be displayed to any user when they next log in.
