how to execute action 1 once only from 5 actions

[Jenny]

Hi, just need some advise on this, i have a script with 5 actions

1. navigation
2. serach code
3. main loop if found then call action update otherwise call action insert.

My question is how do i just execute action 1 once only and let it loop thr from action 2 onward. i have tried this in my action 1

Code:

if Environment ("ActionIteration") = 1 then
  codes for navigation
End if

the problem is Environment ("ActionIteration") always return 1

Hi Jenny,

If I have correctly understood, you have 5 actions, let say Action1..to..Action5.

Now, you want Action1 to run once and you want to put all other actions in a conditional loop.

If this is the case, the you can do this in following way:

1. Create an action and name it as say "Driver_Script"

2. Inside this action insert all your 5 actions and chose "After the current step" option for Location (Do all this in Expert View of Driver_Script action)

3. Now you can leave the first action and can put the rest actions inside a conditional loop

If this is not the case, then still you can follow this approach but with some modifications.

Please let me know for further clarification.
