Maintenance of UNTIL Loops
Use
You use an
UNTIL loop in a workflow definition if:In the workflow definition an UNTIL loop is represented with the symbol
.
Features
An UNTIL loop consists of a sequence of steps processed by the workflow system until a termination condition is recognized as true by the workflow system. All steps of the UNTIL loop are carried out at least once before the loop can be terminated.
Outcomes of an UNTIL loop
The evaluation of a condition can return the results true or false.
You enter a name for both of these values. These names are used to label the two outcomes of the loop in the workflow definition.
In an UNTIL loop, the return jump always occurs when the condition evaluation returns the value false. The workflow execution is continued if the condition evaluation returns the value true.
Activities
If a block of your workflow is selected when inserting the loop, you can decide whether the selected block is directly transferred to the loop. To make things simpler, all steps are selected that are in the block that can be transferred to the loop. Otherwise, an empty loop is created.
When defining the loop, you need to enter names for the step and both outcomes. Use the condition editor to enter the termination condition. For more information, see the
condition editor.
