It repeatedly calls a module (or another project) until/while its result table is not empty, or empty, depending on the settings.\\ | The //Repeat// action allows for arranging "DO…WHILE" and "DO…UNTIL" types of loops.

| | When using the [[transformations:input|Input]] action in the called module, you can use the "Populate automatically" button to import the current dataset from the calling module to use as test data to build the rest of the module with. |

| You may need to balance the "Delay..." and "Fail after..." settings so your workflow succeeds or fails within an acceptable period of time. | You may need to balance the "Delay..." and "Fail after..." settings so your workflow succeeds or fails within an acceptable period of time. |
