# Documents

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

RPA Recorder creates three document types at the end of a recording session:

- BPMN

- PDF

- XES

RPA Recorder stores all created documents in the directory you specify in the
[settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-recorder/latest/user-interface#settings). RPA Recorder groups recordings by date and tags them with the
timestamp of the recording session.

## BPMN

The BPMN is a graphical representation of a business process model. It is a crucial element of an
automation project in the Mulesoft RPA platform. It also includes the recorded documentation, which
can be viewed in RPA Manager.

You can open BPMN with any workflow and decision automation platform that supports the BPMN v2.0
standard, specified by the Object Management Group.

## PDF

The created PDF is an additional documentation of a recording and contains the following
information:

- Recording time

- Process name (if opened from a web client, otherwise default name **New Process** is assigned)

- BPMN graphic

- A table with the following information:

  - Element name: Start Event, Activity (Service Task), End Event

  - Application window title

  - Action type: System, mouse, keyboard, clipboard, window state, variable, comment, screenshot

  - Screenshots: Either screenshots taken on mouse clicks or manual screenshots

  - Info: Detailed information based upon the action type

The table in the PDF displays a gray background row whenever a new activity is created. Subsequent
rows have a white background to indicate that the sub-elements are part of this activity.

## XES

XES is the standard format for process mining. You can open the created XES file with any process
mining tool that supports the XES 1.0 format. XES is used for further process mining purposes.

## Logs

RPA Recorder creates and stores multiple log files in the **Logs** subdirectory, within the
directory you define in the [settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-recorder/latest/user-interface#settings). If the RPA Recorder directory does
not exist, it is automatically created together with a log file.

The log file contains valuable information about the recording, but also warnings and errors that
may have happened.

If any unexpected behavior arises, you can provide feedback to MuleSoft by sending the log file. ==
