You can record activity steps with the Task recorder. You can add the recorded steps to the activity. On an activity, you cannot change or remove the steps as added by the Task recorder. You can only change the steps in the task recorder and save the changes to the activity in RapidValue.
If recording the steps is ready:
- Stop the task recorder.
- Click Save to RapidValue.
You can also save the task recording from the Task recorder to the Downloads folder on your PC in these ways:
- Click Save to this PC. As a result, the task recording is saved as an AXTR file.
- Click Save as developer recording. As a result, the task recording is saved as an XML file.
For an activity, you can upload an AXTR file or an XML file from you PC.
As a result, of saving a task recording to RapidValue or uploading a task recording to an activity, the recorded steps are saved as activity steps. Note that not only the step descriptions are saved, but also the step titles and notes, if defined.
If you added a sub task to the task recording, this is also saved as such to the activity steps.
Warning! If already steps are available for an activity and you save or upload a task recording, the existing steps are deleted, and the recorded steps are added.

Notes
- Only if you record a new task guide for an activity, the activity description is copied automatically to the task guide description. Therefore, you are advised to finish the activity description before you record a new task guide.
- As the texts in the Task recorder are plain texts, any formatting that you have in the activity description is lost when it is copied to the task guide description. Check the copied description and re-arrange if required. For example, you can 'fake' a bulleted list with '- ' prefixes.
- You can also edit activities from the:
- Activities page.
- Flow previews: click an activity on the flow.
- Flow design page: select an activity and click View details.
- From RapidValue you can record and play task guides, either directly within the current environment or in a remote D365 FO environment. Remote task recording can be set up general on solution level or business process-specific using categories.
