Is scrolling recorded during recording?

When recording SAP screens that contain tables, a common question is whether mouse scrolling is captured as part of the recording.

This is especially important when entering multiple rows of data where scrolling down the table seems necessary.

⚙️ How it works

Scrolling itself is not recorded in PerfecTwin.

However, the behavior depends on whether the scrolling action triggers a transaction in SAP:

• Vertical scrolling
  If scrolling down causes SAP to load additional table rows (a data-loading action), this is recognized and recorded as part of the transaction.

• Horizontal scrolling
  This does not trigger any SAP transaction and is therefore not recorded.

In most cases, the same navigation effect can be achieved simply by using the Tab key, without needing to scroll at all.

❓What if I need to scroll to enter multiple table rows?

When entering multiple rows into a table, users often believe they must scroll down to reach empty rows.

In practice, this is not necessary.

PerfecTwin automatically checks whether there is an available empty row in the table for input.
If needed, it will automatically scroll the table internally and place the value into the correct input row.

This means you do not need to control scrolling manually during recording or execution.
