Work with the Action Recorder
With the Action Recorder, you can create action macros that can be used to
automate repetitive tasks.
While recording actions, commands and input values are captured and
displayed in the Action tree. After recording is stopped, you can save the
captured commands and input to an action macro file which can later be
played back. Once an action macro is saved, you can specify base points, insert
user messages, or change the behavior of the recorded input values to pause
for a new input value during playback. You can also manage the recorded
action files with Manage Action Macros.
Use the Action Recorder to record commands
and input values.

The Action Recorder can record most of the commands that can be used from
the command line and from the user interface elements that you are already
familiar with.
