Verify that Replay is Working
Replay Testing Steps
To test ForeSee Replay, you must simulate a survey, as Replay movies are only processed when accompanied by a completed survey. To simulate a survey, follow the steps in the Verify Invitation Display article. After accepting the invitation, navigate around the site and collect some events by clicking on a few pages and objects. Visit pages where masking rules are in place (e.g. Checkout, My Account, etc.), so that you can confirm that masking rules are applied correctly. And don’t forget to submit the survey!
Watch the Replays in the ForeSee Portal on the following day. If Replay seems to be recording and transmitting correctly, then replays should begin showing up in the portal the day after a survey submission.
To begin testing, force a survey invitation using the browser’s JavaScript console.
- Press (F12).
- Go to the Network tab. (1)
- Clear the contents of the history. (2)


- Then, open the Console tab. (3)
- Type FSR.showInvite(); into the console prompt and press enter. (4)
- Accept the invitation that is shown for a survey. (5)


Once the survey invitation has been accepted, return to the Network tab of the console. You should see 'corsservice' requests being sent to https://rec.replay.answerscloud.com
. If you can see these transmissions, Replay’s recording is running successfully.
You can also verify the data capture by typing window.name
in the console and clicking Enter. The data returned starts with FSR_ followed by other data collected.
