About Activities

Use the button to identify iterations, optional fields that can define an enumeration of or loop condition for this step. The button appears with a gray background if there is no loop condition defined. Click the button to open a pop-up dialog in which you define the condition.

Loops repeat a step or a contiguous sequence of steps a number of times, or until a condition is met. You can iterate over the elements in an aggregate property — a Value List, Value Group, Page List, or Page Group.

This feature provides a limited form of enumeration or looping, similar to the "repeat until" or "do while" or "repeat from X to Y" structures of programming languages.

TipIn a child step within a multistep loop, right-click to access a context menu. You can copy, cut, or paste child steps within the same iteration.
