Define a Go To Action for a One-Step

Use the Go To Action to define criteria for determining which Action the One-Step should execute next. With the Go To Action, you can:

• Continue to the next Action in the One-Step.
• Navigate to any other Action within the One-Step.
• End One-Step execution.

For example, you can use a Go To Action in conjunction with a Prompt to prompt Users for a value, which then determines which Action is executed next.

Note: Unless you use a Go To Action to end One-Step execution, the Go To Action will navigate to the appropriate Action and execute it, and then the One-Step will proceed with any subsequent Actions.

To define a Go To Action:

1. Create a One-Step.
2. On the General page in the One-Step window (accessed from within the One-Step Manager), click Add, and then select Go To.

   The Go To window opens.

   

3. Define general properties for the Go To Action:
   • Name: Provide a display name for the Action (this is how the Action is identified in the One-Step interface).
4. Define which Action to execute next:
   • (Optional) Go To Condition: Select this check box to have the One-Step go to the next Action based on an Expression. Then, click the drop-down to select a recently used Expression, or click the Custom Expression button to open the Custom Expression Builder to create a custom Expression.
   • Next Step: In the drop-down, select the Action to have the One-Step execute next if the defined condition is true.

     Note: This is also the next Action the One-Step will execute if no condition is defined.

     • Continue to Next Step: Select this option to have the One-Step execute the next Action in the sequence of One-Step Actions.
     • End One-Step Execution: Select this option to have the One-Step end execution when it reaches the Go To Action.
     • Go to <another One-Step Action>: Select any other Action within the One-Step to execute next.

       Note: If you use the Go To Action in a Step Through Children Action, you can only select from the Actions used within the Step Through Children Action. You cannot select from Actions used in the main One-Step or in the Pre/Post-Steps.

   • If False: In the drop-down, select an Action to have the One-Step execute next if the defined condition is false.

     Note: You can only select an If False Action if you defined a condition.

     • Continue to Next Step: Select this option to have the One-Step execute the next Action in the sequence of One-Step Actions.
     • End One-Step Execution: Select this option to have the One-Step end execution when it reaches the Go To Action.
     • Navigate to Another Action: Select any other Action within the One-Step to execute next.

       Note: If you use the Go To Action in a Step Through Children Action, you can only select from the Actions used within the Step Through Children Action. You cannot select from Actions used in the main One-Step or in the Pre/Post-Steps.

5. Define properties for limiting the execution of the Go To Action. These limitations ensure that this Action does not lead to an endless loop in which it is executed an infinite number of times. If either of the following limits is reached, the entire One-Step will be aborted.
   1. Maximum Number of Times This Action can be Executed: Provide a number or use the Up/Down arrows to increase/decrease the maximum number of times this Action is executed.
   2. Maximum Time in Seconds This Action is Allowed to Execute: Provide a number or use the Up/Down arrows to increase/decrease the maximum number of seconds this Action is allowed to execute.
6. Click OK.
