Defining a Job execution trigger

Last updated: 9/7/2026

Follow the steps below to add and configure the tLoop component to the Job script, to trigger the execution of the Job.

Procedure

Create a new Job script, enter an addComponent {} function, and inside this function, enter the setComponentDefinition {} function and its parameters to add the tLoop component:
```
addComponent {
	setComponentDefinition {
		TYPE: "tLoop",
		NAME: "tLoop_1",
		POSITION: 256, 192
	}
}
```
Next to the setComponentDefinition {} function, enter the setSettings {} function to define a loop.
In this example, a FOR loop is defined to trigger the Job execution 3 times.
```
	setSettings {
		FORLOOP : "true",
		FROM : "1",
		TO : "3",
		STEP : "1",
		INCREASE : "true"
	}
```
