  Use the Review Oracle Systems option to display a list of systems that can be recorded.
  This option does not support Oracle Cloud screens.
  Oracle EBS systems that appear behind the Review Oracle System(s) button, will not be captured.
  Select this option if capturing Oracle Cloud screens.
  
  
• Web Browser (Chrome, Edge)
  Select this option to record business processes that can be performed on a web browser.

  This option supports Internet Explorer and Google Chrome browsers only. Capturing Google Chrome requires the installation of 2 Chrome extensions.
  
  
• Other Applications
  Use this option to capture other applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, Windows Folders or any other screen activity not performed in your web browser or Oracle Applications. Use this option if you need to capture Adobe Flash applications or screens.
