General
This type of action can be used to group a set of other actions (child actions of the group). This is especially useful if only want to execute the child actions if a condition is fulfilled or if you want to execute the child actions using a special Exception Behavior. The number of child actions is not limited and you can even nest groups within each other.
Properties
This type of action has the following properties:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the group; this is a human-readable text to explain what the group is for. |
| Condition | An optional Expression; if left empty, the child actions of the group will always be executed. Otherwise the child actions will only be executed if the condition expression returns True or 1; if it returns something else, their execution will be skipped. |
| Exception Behavior | This setting determines how the group shall behave if an exception occurs in any of the child actions of the group. Do Not Handle. If you choose this option, any exception that occurs will not be handled by the group and instead passed to the parent of the cycle (which can either be another container action, such as a cycle or another group, or the task if the cycle is a direct child of the task). The group will not continue to execute child actions. Cancel Group. If you select this option and an exception occurs, the group will cancel (i. e. stop the execution of child actions) but the exception will not be passed to the parent container; the execution will resume after the group. Continue With Next Action. If you select this option, the group will continue with the child action succeeding the one whose execution raised an exception. |
