Good to Know

  • In most text fields, you can use process data variables as an alternative to literal data values.
  • When you configure a Next Loop activity immediately after a Condition activity, the variables defined in the Initialize Loop activity are populated in the Next Loop activity. If you try to use the variables in any activity between the Condition and the Next Loop, the variables will not have the correct data.
  • You can configure whether this activity waits for other activities before it runs.
