  2. Select whether to analyze files or a folder. Locate the files/folder.

  3. To automatically identify screens, select the Automatically identify screens check box.

  4. To automatically identify steps, select the Capture screen navigation map steps check box.

  5. Click Finish.

The Console displays the outcome of the process.

Note:
When identifying a new screen, the screen name is taken from the area you defined in the Screen Creation Definitions. If a screen with this name already exits, the newly identified screen's name will be the name as of the existing screen followed by an incremental number. If the area you defined in the Screen Creation Definitions is empty, the screen will be named: "Screen" and then an incremental number.

Refer to Screens and Application Maps for in depth documentation on each of these subjects.
