IBM Power Ideas Portal

Screen images from the Screen History Archive file

Please provide an option to exact the screen images from the Screen History Archive file to individual image files(type of image file should be selectable by the user).


Use Case:

The ability to provide user documentation of screens and work flow will be enhanced. While a screen capture function is provided, this is a capture and paste approach and is very slow and cumbersome. Having the extracted images in a folder makes them quickly available to import into MS documents, etc.

    ???Copy as Image" has been added to the screen history viewer and screen history archive viewer popup menu.
    A ???Save screens as images???" button has been added to the screen history archive viewer.

    This is planned for our April 2020 update.
