Adding a Repeat step
To add a Repeat step:
1. On the Steps pane, select the step after which to insert the Condition step.
2. Make sure that the cursor is located where the extraction loop must start. By default the
cursor is located at the top of the page or record, but previous steps in the extraction
workflow may have moved it down. If necessary, add a Goto step (see "Goto step"
below).
Generally this step can be skipped when the data source is an XML file or JSON file.
3. Add the Repeat step: select data in the line or row where the loop must end, or select the
node/element. Then either:
l Right-click on it and select Add Repeat.
l Right-click the Steps pane and select Add a Step > Add Repeat.
l Select Steps > Add Repeat Step from the menu.
4. Make the required settings on the Step properties pane. See: "Repeat step properties" on
page385.
For more detailed instructions per file type see "Extracting transactional data" on page263.
