Default fetch data on password protected page

I downloaded the software and i am trying to play around with it.
One thing i cannot succeed to do is to fetch some data on a web page that is password protected. Basically i can record the web actions, but when i try to tell the software to extract data it asks me for a URL which if opened by the software without logging in returns the login page, so no useful data is there.

Basically i have to login, then fetch some information and do some other stuff based on the data that i fetched. But selecting the "extract data" it won't work since it opens a new IE page which does not display the right page but rather the login page (while the other IE tab is actually already logged in and would display the right page).
Any ideas on how to solve this?

one more question: after adding the task of "fetch data" i want to keep recording other actions. is it possible to append some more recording after pressing the "STOP" button?

thanks!

Hello,

Is it possible for you to send URL of website so that we can try recreating the scenario at our end?

You can open recorded task in a Task Editor and can edit/append the commands provided by editor.

Hello,

A task created using Web Recorder is not restricted to only Web Recorder commands. You can edit your task and insert other actions to perform required action. For e.g. you can insert other commands like Keystrokes, Mouse Clicks and any other command from the list of commands provided in the Task Editor.

Hello,

You can insert a Pause command in the task if you want the task to pause after certain actions in the task.

To Insert a pause so that you have a chance to enter or modify some information during task replay,

. Open the Task Editor from Tools -> Task Editor.
. Double click on the 'Pause' command.

To continue, click on the 'Resume' button found at bottom right corner of your screen.
