For Each Action

The For Each action will iterate through items in a list. The list can be specified line by line or separated by another character such as a comma. Note that you can also use this action to iterate through items in a variable or expression.

Note: Variables which have a Checkbox Select prompt type can contain a comma-delimited list of the select items which can be iterated using this action.
