Getting started with loops

Loops are used to automate repetitive sections of a flow by executing a block of actions multiple times.

Useful applications and features:

• Use simple loops to perform a given number of repetitions and iterate through data.
• Deploy loop conditions in order to repeat actions until a condition is met.
• Iterate through the items of a list using for each loops.
• Explicitly end loops when required.

You can find more information on how to use the loop actions here

Loops actions

Exit loop

Terminates the loop and the flow resumes at the next action or statement following the loop

Input Parameters

• This action doesn't require any input

Variables Produced

• This action doesn't produce any variables

Exceptions

• This action doesn't include any exceptions

For each

Iterates over items in a list, data table or data row, allowing a block of actions to be executed repeatedly

Input Parameters

Argument	Optional	Accepts	Default Value	Description
Value to iterate	No	*		Enter a list, data row, or data table value to iterate through it.

Variables Produced

Argument	Type	Description
	*	The value name that will store the current item value in each iteration.

Exceptions

• This action doesn't include any exceptions

Loop

Iterates a block of actions for a specified number of times

Input Parameters

Argument	Optional	Accepts	Default Value	Description
Start from	No	Numeric value		Set the starting point of the loop counter.
Increment by	No	Numeric value		Set the increment that the loop counter variable is increased by.
End to	No	Numeric value		Set the ending point of the loop counter.

Variables Produced

Argument	Type	Description
	*	The value name that will store the current index, starting at the start from value. The value will change by the increment with each iteration.

Exceptions

• This action doesn't include any exceptions

Loop condition

Iterates a block of actions as long as a specified condition proves to be true

Input Parameters

Argument	Optional	Accepts	Default Value	Description
Operator	N/A	Equal to (=), Not equal to (<>), Greater than (>), Greater than or equal to (>=), Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=)	Equal to (=)	Choose the relationship of first operand to second operand.
First operand	No	*		Enter a value name defined by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the second operand.
Second operand	No	*		Enter a value name produced by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the first operand.

Variables Produced

• This action doesn't produce any variables

Exceptions

• This action doesn't include any exceptions

Next loop

Forces the next iteration of the block to take place, skipping any actions in between

Input Parameters

• This action doesn't require any input

Variables Produced

• This action doesn't produce any variables

Exceptions

• This action doesn't include any exceptions
