Verb sub task
The Verb control is a type of sub-task. A sub-task is a control that has its own element execution flow, similar to an app within the app, where the execution starts and ends within the same user step. To implement it, add a verb control control to a user step and then configure the sub-task element.
A verb sub-task control is used to trigger sub-task execution, which can be run one or multiple times depending on the configuration. A verb sub-task has no data source; it's just a trigger for execution.
Note - The output of the sub-task is available in the steps AFTER the user step where the sub-task is located.
Title Text on the sub-task button in the user step button.
Icon The icon on the sub-task button in the user step.
Target variable Enter the name of the output variable. The output from the sub-task will be stored in this new table variable.
Allow Multiple Runs This should be checked to allow the verb sub-task element to be run multiple times within the same user step in the main app.
Pills Pill on the sub-workflow button. One or multiple pills can be configured on the verb sub-task. The pill can display text or a count of how many times the verb sub-task has been run.
Condition To Hide
Specify the condition that must be fulfilled for the control to be hidden. If left unspecified, the control will remain visible in the user step. Note that when controls are hidden, empty variables will be generated unless default values or pre-defined data exist.
Reloading behavior
The control behavior at reloading, see User step reloading.
