Abstract: A system and method for screen connector design, configuration, and runtime access. Embodiments modify a rudimentary host application screen recording prior to runtime to better identify host screens of a host application during runtime use. Embodiments of a screen connector runtime engine allow communication and access to a host application. Embodiments screen connector recordings are designed by embodiments of a screen connector designer, which allows for customization of the rudimentary application screen recordings based upon user input. Issues are addressed related to navigation between and identification of tables. Embodiments for screen task design allow for authoring of executable tasks.
