Counters

Counters can be used for a robot to remember a previous value. Also files that are given a number and need to be incremented each time can use Counters.

Counters have the following features and settings:

• The counter always starts with a default value and can only contain numbers
• A counter can be incremented
• A counter can be decreased
• A counter can be reset
• A counter can be set to a specific value
• A counter can be manually adjusted by a Spider Operator

Create counter

Navigate to More > Counters > Maintain and click Add new to create a counter. The robot will create a new file and increment this number. We keep track of this in the Counter. As an example, we give the counter the starting value 254.

The robot first consults the value of the counter, checks if there is a match in the process and increases / decreases / resets the counter or adjusts it to a specific value.
If necessary, a Spider Operator can always adjust the value manually.
