Capture & Record

Guided Recording

Follow templates step-by-step for consistent capture

Overview

Guided Recording provides a structured framework for capturing processes consistently across teams and locations. Select a recording template that matches your process type, and the system walks you through each expected step, prompting for the right data at the right time. This eliminates the variability that comes from free-form recording and ensures every map contains comparable, analysis-ready data.

Why Guided Recording?

Three reasons teams choose this tool

Consistent Every Time

Templates eliminate the variability of free-form capture. Every recording follows the same structure, every time.

Analysis-Ready Data

Mandatory fields and built-in prompts ensure complete data collection. No more incomplete or unusable recordings.

Compare Across Teams

Standardised capture means you can compare the same process across operators, shifts, and facilities.
