Start Sub Task

Purpose

Sub Tasks allow you to run complete Yarado tasks within another task. They allow for modular tasks building and make it very easy to reuse elements multiple times. For example, if you have build a task that lets Yarado sign into your application, you can reuse this sign-in task as a subtask in all other processes that require sign-in too.

Double click the icon or drag it to the process visuliser to use the Subtask function.

Using Sub Tasks

Interface elements

Element	Description
Task location	Select the location of the task you want to run as a subtask.
Variable CSV file	If you select a task file, the corresponding variable file will be automatically loaded, if they are in the same directory. In case you want to run the subtask with a different set of variables, you can select it here.
Loop CSV file	If you select a task file, the corresponding loop file will be automatically loaded, if they are in the same directory. In case you want to run the subtask with a different loop file, you can select it here.
Variables	Global variables (variables in a subtask starting with %gl_) can be populated with information from the main task by assigning a value to them. These values can also be variables from the main task.

Example

The subtask shown in the image above is a modular sign-in step for a bookkeeping application. This task can not only sign into the app but also detect if two-factor authentication is required.

The variable called gl_tfa is a variable in the subtask indicating whether or not TFA was actually used during the sign-in process. In this case, it's linked to the variable %tfa% in the main task, making the information available for use in the main task.
