Continue activity

The Continue activity jumps to the next item to process in the loop and is typically placed after an If or an If..Then activity.

About this task

The Continue activity can only be used inside one of the following looping activities: For Each, Split, and While Loop activities.

To use a Continue activity complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Open the Activities tab and the Logic folder.
  2. Drag a For Each, Split, or While Loop activity onto the orchestration.
  3. Set up the looping activity to continue processing as shown in the following example.

    Example - Continue processing when a condition is true

    1. Drag an If..Then activity into the looping activity you set up in step 1.
    2. Drag an action activity (for example: an Insert Rows activity) onto the empty placeholder to the right of the If node.
    3. Configure the action activity.
    4. Click the If node and enter a condition in the Expression Builder.
    5. Drag a Continue activity onto the empty placeholder to the right of the Else node.
    At Run Time:
    • If the condition in the If evaluates to true, the action activity runs.
    • If the condition in the If evaluates to false, the Continue activity in the Else branch runs and jumps to the next item in the looping activity.
