### 11.6.1. Start Recording a Journal Script

To start recording a journal:

1. In the Administration section, select Scripting > Record Journal. The Start Journal Recording dialog box appears:

   Figure 11.1: Setting Up a Journal Recording

2. Click Browse to specify the folder where the journal file will be saved. The default location is /Data/My Data.

3. Enter a name for the journal file.

4. Click OK. When you record a journal, two objects will be written to the location you specify:

   - An empty journal file of type `EKM Journal File` with extension .jou.py that does not contain any data because you have not recorded any actions yet.

   - A companion `_files` folder that is used as temporary storage for the recorded actions.

5. Invoke the actions that you want to record in the journal.

Note: If you start recording a journal on one browser tab, any journal-supported actions that you perform on other browser tabs will be recorded in the same journal file.
