Scope
- Simulation content object > Imported Page macro
Purpose
An Imported Page macro is used to provide an additional 'page' image (a screenshot or other image) in a Simulation project. Typically you would do this when you need to include another Screen macro but recording the application is not possible, or you already have a screenshot file available to you and want to use this.
Use
To insert an Imported Page macro, carry out the following steps:
- Select menu option Insert > Insert Special Macro > Import Image.
- The Select Images dialog box is displayed. Navigate to and select the image you want to use, and click Open. (You can select multiple files at the same time; each file will be inserted in its own Step.)
- The Import Images dialog box is displayed. Complete the input fields as follows:
- If necessary, set the image dimensions in the Width and Height. If you are importing the image to use as a Screen macro, you should use the same dimensions as the other screens in the Simulation.
- Specify the number of seconds for which the image file should be displayed in Demo mode in the Display Duration field.
- If you want the image file to be inserted as a Screen then select the Import as Screen Macro property. In this case, you will get a Screen macro and not an Imported Page macro.
- If you want the image to be resampled (typically, if you specified dimensions different to the original image dimensions) then select the Resample Images option.
- If you chose Import as Screen Macro and you also want to insert a Mouse Action in the same step then select the Insert Mouse Action option.
- Click OK
A new Step will be inserted into the Simulation for each image selected. Each Step will contain either an Imported Page macro and a Mouse Action macro or a Screen macro and (optionally) a Mouse Action macro.
