The name of the loop to be created.

Default value: Loop

Loop state parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current state of the loop, LoopStates.

Default value: LoopState

Loop counter value parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current state of the counter, LoopCounter. *

Default value: LoopCounterValue

Counter type : CounterType *

Defines the counter type to be used in the loop.

Default value: Int

Start value *

The start value of the counter: if Int - any integer; if DateTime - read about DateTime Format.

Step *

The step of the counter: if Int - any integer; if DateTime - read about DateTime step format.

Step type : StepType

Defines the iterator type.

Default value: Increment

End value *

The end value of the counter: if Int - any integer; if DateTime - read about DateTime Format.

Include last value : Boolean *

The flag for the last value to be taken into account: true equivalent to <= or >= ; false equivalent to < or >

Default value: false

StartLoopForeach

Initializing and running a Foreach loop.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop to be created.

Default value: Loop

Loop state parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current state of the loop, LoopStates.

Default value: LoopState

Loop counter value parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current value of the counter, LoopCounter.

Default value: LoopCounterValue

Values *

The counter elements with a separator.

Example: Value1, Value2.

Separator : String *

The separator between the values.

Default value: comma

Reverse : Boolean *

The flag if the list of values should be reversed.

Default value: false

StartLoopForeachFromParameter

Initializing and running a Foreach loop.

Parameters:

The name of the loop to be created.

Default value: Loop

Loop state parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current state of the loop, LoopStates.

Default value: LoopState

Loop counter value parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to store the current value of the counter, LoopCounter.

Default value: LoopCounterValue

Parameter name : String *

The name of the parameter to get the list of elements with the separator.

Separator : String *

The separator between the values.

Default value: comma

Reverse : Boolean *

The flag if the list of values should be reversed.

Default value: false

SetLoopState

Implements Continue/Break for a loop.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state should be changed.

Loop State : LoopStates *

The new state of the loop: Continue/Break.

Conditions

Read about conditions.

LoopIsBroken

Checks if the loop has been interrupted.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

LoopIsCompleted

Checks if the loop has been completed.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

LoopIsCompletedOrBroken

Checks if the actual loop state is Complete or Break. Therefore, the loop is completed or broken.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

LoopIsNotCompletedAndBroken

Checks if the actual loop state is Default or Continue. Allows you to determine whether another iteration will be performed.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

LoopIsDefault

Checks if the actual loop state is Default.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

LoopIsNotDefault

Checks if the actual loop state is Complete, Continue, or Break. Therefore, the loop has been completed, or continued, or broken.

Parameters:

Loop name : String *

The name of the loop whose state is checked.

Elements

DateTimeFormat

  • Format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff
  • Minimum value: 0001-01-01 00:00:00.000

For work with DateTime, you can use plugins, for example:

using OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Plugins;

// For cast DateTime to string
string dateTimeString = DateTime.Now.ToLongStringDateTime();

// For cast string to DateTime
DateTime = dateTimeString.ToLongDateTime();

DateTimeStepFormat

The following values can be set as a step:

  • integer followed by y, year or years, its value is interpreted as years.
  • integer followed by mm, month or months, its value is interpreted as months (the number of days determined by the calendar);
  • integer followed by d, day or days, its value is interpreted as days (24 hours);
  • integer followed by h, hour or hours, its value is interpreted as hours;
  • integer followed by m, minute or minutes, its value is interpreted as minutes;
  • integer followed by s, second or seconds, its value is interpreted as seconds;
  • integer followed by ms, millisecond or milliseconds, its value is interpreted as milliseconds;

The measurement units may be combined, for example, "1y 3mm 2d 5h 24m 15s 50 ms", "2days 5hours", etc.
