The Case action and the Default action are similar to the Group action in that they can each contain any number of subactions. They are unique in that they do not appear in the New Action dialog and can be added only as subactions to a Select Case action.
|
Case Action: Use the Case action to create a subgroup of actions that are run only when a specified variable for the Select Case action meets the condition that you specify for the Case action.
Default Action: Use the Default action to create a subgroup of actions that are run only when a specified variable for the Select Case action does not meet the conditions of any of its Case actions.
You can configure the properties for the Case action and Default action on the following tabs.
|
|
The Case Options settings are available only for Case actions. The Default action is run when the specified variable for the Select Case action does not meet the conditions of any of its Case actions.

Case Options
Execution Options
Execute Actions: Specifies whether the actions are run sequentially (in the order they appear in the Events pane) or in parallel (at the same time).
Execute actions {#} times: Specifies the number of times that the action runs each time the event occurs.
Action
-
Name: Specifies the name of the action. The variable that is listed in the name is updated to the variable that you specify in the Cases section of the Select Case tab of the Select Case action. The name also reflects the condition that you specify in the Case Options section of the Case tab.
-
Description: Specifies a description for the action.
Error Handling and Diagnostics
-
Ignore errors and continue running actions: Specifies that if the action fails, the remaining actions continue to run. When this option is not selected and the action fails, the resulting behavior depends on several factors, as follows:
The action is within a Group action
-
If you specified Sequentially for the Execute Actions property on the Group action's Execution tab, no further actions within that Group action are run. No actions outside of this Group action are affected.
-
If you specified In Parallel for the Execute Actions property on the Group action's Execution tab, the errors are ignored, and the other actions within that Group action are run. No actions outside of this Group action are affected.
The action is not within a Group action
-
If you specified Sequentially for the Execute Actions property on the event's Execution tab, no further actions within the event are run.
-
If you specified In Parallel for the Execute Actions property on the event's Execution tab, the errors are ignored, and the other actions within the event are run.
