In this module, you will:

• Use If conditionals
• Deploy “Switch” conditionals in order to compare a single variable with multiple possible values
• Explore additional options when evaluating conditions
• Provide default and alternative behaviors for processes based on the environment data

In this module, you will:

• Use simple loops to perform a given number of repetitions and iterate through data
• Deploy loop conditions in order to repeat actions until a condition is met
• Iterate through the items of a list using for each loops
• Explicitly end loops when required

In this module, you will:

• Create, edit and manipulate variables.

• Create multiple selectors for a control.
• Edit selectors.

In this module, you will:

• Configure the exception handling properties of individual actions.
• Set up exception blocks that will handle possible exceptions from groups of actions.
• Configure the error handling properties of individual processes.
• Apply global error handling properties that will come into effect when any process fails.
