The recorder is the part of the development studio that developers use to configure the Robots. It is like the macro recorder in Excel, the bot recorder in any platform, records steps. It records mouse and keyboard movements on the UI and this recording can be replayed to do the same steps again and again. This enables rapid automation. This component has played a very big role in the popularity of RPA. We will see the application and usefulness of this component in chapter 2, Record and Play.
