Run Flows For List Step

Step Details
Introduced in Version	---
Modified in Version	9.18
Location	Flow Management > Iteration System > Advanced

The Run Flows for List and Run Flows for List [Batch Processing] steps process a list of items from a defined data type and execute a distinct Flow for each item. This functionality is similar to the For Each step. However, in this case, it triggers a separate Flow for each item in the list. An example use case for these steps would be extracting a list of email addresses from the account data type and executing a specific action for each email address.

Note:

Run Flows for List and Run Flows for List [Batch Processing] steps exhibit identical behavior.

Properties

Data

Property	Description	Data Type
Input Type	Allows Users to select the data type	---
Output Type	Defines the output data type for the step. This will return the list of results received from the Flow.	---

Flow

Property		Description	Data Type
EDIT FLOW		Allows the User to edit the Flow for the step	---
Run Behavior			---
	Synchronous	Runs in real-time on the current Flow or Thread. Similar to how in-session forms display to the current user immediately.	---
	ThreadJob	Runs synchronously but utilizes multiple threads on the machine to execute more efficiently.	---
	WorkQueue	Runs the Flow across multiple queues.	---
	ThreadJobAsync	Runs the Flow Async and doesn't wait for any return data.	---
	AsyncAndWait	Runs the processes and pauses the parent Flow until the step has finished executing all of the items in a list.	---
	System Threads	Runs the process through Threads that are outside of the Thread Job Queue. The work will be split evenly across all threads.	---
Queue Name		Defines the name of the queue.	String
Thread Count		Defines the number of threads the step will utilize.	Int32
Dynamically Set Thread Count (v9.18+)		This setting enables Users to set the thread count dynamically. Users should note that each thread on the Run Flows for List step is a separate Flow process; running a high number may impact system performance. Users are advised to use a lower thread count (such as four) to test the impact of the step on the system.	Boolean
Expose All Flow Data		Passes all Flow data to the parent Flow.	Boolean
Specify Timeout (v9.3+)		Allows the user to specify the amount of time after which the step will cease to function. This is useful to prevent situations where the step runs infinitely. This option is only available if the Run Behavior is set to ThreadJob or AsyncAndWait.	Boolean
