The Start block is the starting point of all automation cases, and it is always present:

See the Introduction lesson to see the Start block in action.

Building block parameters

Parameters

  • Block header: The green output connector triggers as soon as the automation case is run. The block title (“Start”) can be renamed by double-clicking it and typing a new title.

  • Action: Selects what the Start block should do before proceeding. Options include:

    • No action: Starts the case without performing any window handling first.

    • Close all windows: Attempts to close all open windows by sending a close signal (similar to clicking the X). If a window does not close automatically (for example due to unsaved content and a popup), no further action is taken and windows are not force-closed.

    • Minimize all windows: Attempts to minimize all open windows by sending a minimize signal (similar to clicking the -).
