Setting up activity steps

To configure your activity, you need to create loops and substeps. To create a loop, click Loop for a step and select a repetition type (in our example, For each element in value list) and a list of values. Click Submit.

To create a substep, create a new step and drag it into the step for which the substep is being created.
When setting up the activity, you will also need to set up the following:
  • The When condition – This condition is checked before a step is carried out. Depending on the result, the step is either carried out or skipped.
  • The Jump condition – This condition is checked after a step. Depending on the result, the activity can either advance to the next step or finish.
  • Label specifies a step to which you can go from another step.
