Generating New Steps

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

Tasks comprise a series of steps that are planned to run consecutively.  Some of the steps are such that if they fail for some reason –the selected interface will stop running.  In other cases, the rest of the steps can still be valid despite a problem in the execution of one or more steps.  Make sure you have all the necessary information and have planned out the complete order of execution prior to defining the specific steps in the task.

 

Steps are generally classified into 2 categories: Steps with connections and Manipulation steps. As you create a new step, you must first choose the type of step.
