# Capturing Non-ERP Applications

> [!NOTE]
> This article explains how to capture SAP screens using the Panaya legacy recorder.
> 
> We recommend that all users switch to [our new and improved Video Recorder](/v1/docs/video-recording) to capture SAP screens and web applications.

You can capture **Non-ERP screens**, using the Panaya Recorder, when [running tests](/v1/docs/how-to-run-document-tests) or [recording Quick Test scripts](/v1/docs/how-to-record-a-quick-test-script). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1638817882970.png)

## Recording Options

From within the Panaya Recorder, select **Recording Options** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1638817891887.png), to determine what applications should be captured -

- **Browser (Chrome, Edge)** Select this option to record business processes that are performed on a web browser such as Fiori, SAP Portal, WebDynPro, 3rd party web application, etc. This option supports **Google Chrome** and **Microsoft Edge** browsers and requires the installation of [browser extensions](https://success.panaya.com/docs/setting-up-google-chrome-to-work-with-the-panaya-recorder-player). You can initiate the recorder from the browser.
- **Other Applications** Use this option to capture other applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, Windows Folders, or any other screen activity that is not performed in your web browser or SAP ECC6. Use this option if you need to capture Adobe Flash applications or screens.

**Can't see this option?**

Contact your Panaya account manager to enable Other Applications recording

**Can I select more than one option simultaneously?**

Yes. If you select **SAP ERP** & **Browser (Chrome, Edge),** your Test Evidence will include activities performed on SAP and your browser. Activities will be grouped by application/transaction.

  

At any point during the recording, you can add the [Other Application](/v1/docs/can-i-capture-non-erp-applications) option.

The recording options selected during capturing will be used on playback, and the user playing back the recording will require the installation of the relevant browser extension(s).
