I'm new to Load Complete and running my first scenarios, and not sure if my test is recording steps

Question

I'm new to load complete and load testing. I've recorded some actions on a website which has authentication. I can verify the scenario but when I look at the scenario in scenario editor I'm not sure all my steps have been recorded. The url pages for my site are not being displayed in the Scenario Explorer. I just see Page 0001 (403 - Forbidden), Request 0001 (/), Request 0002 (/).

I was expecting the pages I had visited to be displayed in brackets after the Page and Request.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

The host name can be blank, only if the testing server is on the computer where LoadComplete is running. 
&nbsp;
However probably the problem exists in another field.&nbsp;Please check, did you go through all preparation procedures -&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/loadcomplete/docs/testing-with/preparing/index.html

Error 403 means that access with the given request is forbidden for some reason related to authentication&nbsp;.
What authentication method is used?

We are using .NET MVC form to send authentication credentials.

First read this topic:&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/loadcomplete/docs/testing-with/authentication/about.html#fba
&nbsp;
And try to setup credentials in Authentication Editor.

I have read the authentication help&nbsp;topic:&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/loadcomplete/docs/testing-with/authentication/about.html#fba&nbsp;And setup credentials in Authentication Editor. I have added the Login and Password details to the Authentication Editor. I have left Host name as blank.&nbsp;I still can't record my load complete scenarios. Is the host name mandatory? I now also see other warnings 'The page does not contain enabled requests. No requests will be simulated on it.' Are there other authentication settings that require setting?
