Step Conditions

You can set conditions on a step level. There is a property in a step condition, which grabs a parameter from the User action (as a variable) and based on its value (true/false) executes or skips the step:

• “True”, “true” or undefined (no value) will execute the step;

• “False” or “false” will skip the step.

Background

This feature can be used in case need to skip one or more steps based on a certain condition in one of the previous steps.

Procedure

• Record your flow

• Export as a Variable the value from the step, which you want to be used as a condition (the value has to be true or false);

• Enable a CONDITIONAL EXECUTION switch for the step/steps you want to execute or skip based on a condition, defined in a Variable earlier.

Expected values in the Data Set are “True”/undefined or “False”:

• True”, “true” or undefined (no value) will execute the step;

• “False” or “false” will skip the step.

Example:

Use Case 1

Challange

User needs to verify if there is a value in the text field:

• If there’s no value or the value is not equal to the parameter value in the Data set → skip certain step(s)

• If the value equals the parameter value in the Data set → proceed with the next step

Steps

• Complete the steps from the Procedure section

• Go to the Verify/Store step and change the User Action to Custom

• Add the following code and hit Save:

if(obj.innerText == null || obj.innerText != param) {
         return false;
}
 
return true;

Use Case 2

Challange

User needs to verify if there is a value in the text field:

• If there’s no value or the value is not equal to the parameter value in the Data set → skip certain step(s)

• If the value equals the parameter value in the Data set → change the value in the input field to the one in the Data set and proceed with the next step

Steps

• Complete the steps from the Procedure section

• Go to the Verify/Store step and change the User Action to Custom

• Add the following code and hit Save:

if(obj.innerText == null || obj.innerText != param) {
         obj.innerText = param;
         return false;
}
 
return true;
