Abstract
A method for recording user/application interaction is provided. The method may include intercepting, by a user/application monitoring agent, an application window running on a computer and currently being visited by a user, and generating a unique window identifier for said application window based on one or more structural elements of said application window Structural elements may include, for example, label(s), drop-down list(s), drop-down menu(s), text(s), option box(es), and/or checkbox(es). The unique window identifier may be a hash value that is obtained by hashing structural elements of the related application window. Unique window identifier(s) may be utilized in visual audit trail, troubleshooting, guidance, help or assistance associated with a running application, which may be rendered to a user based on the current user'"'"'s relative location within the application visited by him/her. Screenshots may be played to a user, upon the user'"'"'s demand, as video clip(s) or screenshots slides, by using window identifiers to respectively retrieve stored screenshots A monitoring agent is also provided, which utilizes the method.
