• You can view images at the time of recording the task in the Task Editor View

• Snap Point allows on-demand capture while creating task
• Visualize Technology 'Image Recognition' gives Automation Anywhere power to "See the screen". Compare static or dynamic images as task runs and perform actions based on it like a human being would do.
  

Workflow Designer is a tool to create high level business and IT processes and manage it. Workflow shows a intuitive graphical representation of conditional logic, task initiation, etc.

• Deploy single task to multiple computers on a network or manage deployment of multiple tasks through the deployment manager.
• Deployment Manager allows you to create groups, initiate, maintain and monitor old and new tasks to a particular group or individual computer on the network, schedule the remote tasks, get the status of the remote tasks run, get email notifications and clean up tasks from the remote machine.

A new feature is 'System Logs' capability that provides you with a single database of all events in your automation environment. Any changes made to the task, errors, deployment events, workflow creations or any other actions can be viewed in the System Log. It can help you identify and diagnose the source of a problem, track changes to your automation system and even help you predict potential problems. System Logs can be exported to a .csv file and can be filtered by Date and Type of the event..

• One of the most powerful features: Actions are recorded using windows objects and just not their positions on a screen. For example: users can record a task to click a ‘reply’ button in an email program. Independent of its subsequent position in the application, this button will be clicked when replaying the task.
• This object-based capture and replay also allows automated tasks to run in the background, allowing users to continue using a machine even while a task is being replayed.
  

Web recorder understands all web controls. When you perform any action in a browser, for example click a link or a button or a check box, Automation Anywhere knows the exact web control. If websites change & links or buttons move, Automation Anywhere will still accurately replay the task. Enhanced Web Recorder with pattern based data extraction, allows you to extract web data with the same pattern spanning across multiple pages with ease.
