Hi  
If I click the Record Web button on the toolbar,  
Error message pops up and I can’t use this function.

hello @sunny.ro  
The reason for this error is that you are using an improper character in the file name or Test Case name in the Test Case folder.  
Please check the file and Test Case names. And try again.
