EveryStep Scripting Tool Privacy Mode supports the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the video recordings that were captured during EveryStep script execution.

Privacy Mode gives you access to Mask Region and Video Capture options, which help protect potentially sensitive information in the recorded video. Privacy Mode options can be applied both during script recording and to an already recorded script.

For best practices and to learn how to apply the Privacy Mode while recording the script in the EveryStep Recorder, please visit the Securing PII: EveryStep Video Recording Management to Protect PII article of our Knowledge Base.

After recording, you can access these options from the script editor’s context menu or by clicking the gear icon at the bottom of the left-side toolbar.

The Video Capture option represents the VideoCapture method and provides support for the video capture mode. The option can be used at any step of the script. To pause or resume video recording while executing the script in a browser window, select the corresponding Video Capture parameter.

The Mask Region option represents the Exclude method and allows you to mask a region on the video captured while the script execution on video playback. You can select to mask a specific HTML element, a region linked to screen coordinates or to an RIA picture.

If you want to mask a region linked to an RIA picture, please record an RIA image validation step in advance. For more details, see Using RIA image capture.
