Loop

Loops can execute a segment a number of times. Loops are handy, if you want to run the same segment over and over again, each time.

Options

Options	Required
Which segment do you want to execute	Yes
How many times the segment has to be run	Yes
If field value is multiline	No
Character that splits field value into multiline	No
Store Loop Index	No
Delete store loop index data before execution of last index of loop	No

Which segment do you want to execute

The name of the segment which is to be executed in the loop comes in this option.

How many times the segment has to be run

The number of times the loop has to be executed is given in it. In this, value can be given in the following way.

• Value
• Element Length

Loop Starting and Ending Point

• From which number the loop has to be started? (Default Index: 0)
• What number should the loop end at?

NOTE

Starting number of the loop is 0. If you give 4 numbers in the starting number then the loop will start from number 5 because the loop will start from 0. Like - 0,1,2,3,4,5,...

How to run infinite loop?

To execute Infinite Loop, give -1 in Loop Ending Value.

How to stop a loop when using an infinite loop?

To stop the loop, you can do it through the field settings given below.

• Field Success Response Action
• Field Error Response Action

How to skip any loop index?

To skip any loop index (1,2,3,..), use the Field Success Response or Field Error Response options in the field settings. Choice Skip Segment action.

If field value is multiline

This option allows you to handle multiline field values. When enabled, the loop will process each line of a multiline field value separately.

Character that splits field value into multiline

This option specifies the character that will be used to split field values into multiple lines. By default, this is set to an string ,,, which typically means newline characters are used for splitting.

Note

If there are values in new line then use \r\n for split values.

Store Loop Index

If the page on which you are using the loop is refreshed after the loop's action and the Loop starts from again the first number then you can use this option.

Remove Store Loop Index Data

You can remove stored loop index data using the "Remove Store Loop Index Data" button. This clears any previously stored index information.

Delete store loop index data before execution of last index of loop

This option allows you to automatically delete the stored loop index data before executing the last index of the loop. When enabled, the stored index data will be cleared just before the final iteration runs.

Form Field has multiple elements

If the field is being used in Loop Field Type, then after turning on this field setting, if the element given in the field is multiple in the page, then we will get one element through the index of the loop.
