A fixed run count is useful when the work has a known batch size: twelve exports, thirty test cases, or fifty prepared items. MacroLoop counts the first playback as part of the total and stops after the selected number of runs.
Define the unit of work
Record one complete item from beginning to end. If processing one item changes the screen, make sure the next item appears in the location expected by the recording.
Use a small count during testing; three successful cycles reveal more than one successful click path.
Use the countdown as an operational check
MacroLoop shows the waiting period and remaining runs during an active cycle. Stop if the target application falls behind or the next item is not ready.
THE TAKEAWAY
Match the run count to a real batch and verify that each cycle ends in a valid starting state.OFFICIAL REFERENCES
