Adding a Sub-Sequence

You can group a set of instructions inside a subsequence.

This can be helpful to structure the sequence and to copy or move the whole set of instructions.

The layout of the instruction can be collapsed.

Before you begin: A task is being edited. The Sequence Editor window is opened.

  1. To add a subsequence to a sequence, do one of the following:
    • Select Add SubSequence in the toolbox and then click the blank page.
    • Drag Add SubSequence to the blank page.


    • A dotted square appears in the blank page.
    • The Sequence dialog box appears.
  2. Enter a display name.

    This name is only displayed when the subsequence is collapsed.

    Note: Goto Label must be entered only if the Sub-sequence instruction is the target of a Goto instruction.

  3. Click the check mark.


    Now, you can insert instructions inside the subsequence.

  4. To add an instruction, you have to drag-and-drop a new instruction inside the subsequence.
    1. Select a service in the Usable window.
    2. Drag it over the vertical bar in the middle of the subsequence.

      Two marks appear in the middle.



    3. Release the mouse.
      The Service Call dialog box appears.
    4. Click the check mark to close the dialog box.


    5. You can insert a new service call after the first one.


      A subsequence is created.

  5. Select the subsequence.


  6. Select Expand/Collapse in the subsequence menu.


    The content of the subsequence is replaced by the display name.
