Web Replay ( http://www.deskperience.com/webreplay/ ) can automate all your repetitive web actions (for example, maybe you need to reach directly to your Inbox to check your new messages. Start the Web Replay recorder from the toolbar and enter your username and password then click on Inbox button. Stop recording and save the macro. Next time when you run the macro Web Replay enters your username and password and then click on Inbox button and you’re there! Check your new messages! And all with one click!).

You can also use it for quick and easy web application testing.

With the Web Replay recorder there are two more buttons: select variable field and select username.

Select variable field

When you record some repetitive action with Web Replay you may need to select the fields that change their value every time you reach a specific web page (browse field for example when you search the file you want to attach to your email).
For example, if you want to create an upload macro with Web Replay (in order to make automatic uploads) you need to select the browse field because it changes its value almost every time.

Select username

It is ideal to use this Web Replay function for multi-page logins, when you’re redirected to another page to enter your password.
How it’s done?
1. Start the Web Replay recorder while you’re on the page for username.
2. Click the button select username from Web Replay floating toolbar.
3. Then select with the hand cursor that appears the field for username.
4. Type your username
5. Click OK. Now you’re redirected to another page to enter your password. Type your password. Click OK.
6. Click Stop rec button from the Web Replay toolbar button.
7. Save macro.
Next time it is all about a click and you’re logged in.
I will start with the second button: select username.
Use this button when you deal with a multi-webpage login. For instance, if you have an account with the Bank of America (https://www.bankofamerica.com/) you know there is a two steps login: first you have to enter your username, then you’re redirected to another web page to enter your password.

How can you log into Bank of America web site with one click?

While on the username page,
1. Start Web Replay recorder from the toolbar
2. Click select username button in the WR recorder. You’ll notice a hand cursor instead of the usual one
3. Click the field for Online ID
4. Then enter your username
5. Click Sign In. You’ll be redirected to enter your password
6. Enter your password
7. Click Sign In
8. Stop recording and save macro.
Now you can log into the Bank of America website with a one single click!
