## Force Grouped Execution

You can design an action which can be executed in stepwise and grouped execution mode.

When using the Run and Test functions to execute an action you have the option of specifying grouped execution. If Grouped is not specified the current mode will be applied to the action being run.

When starting an action from the user interface it is always initially in stepwise mode.

If you want to ensure that an action is always run in grouped mode, you can place a Force Grouped Execution function in the action. The function must be the first function in the action file. All other instances of the function are treated as errors.

Note that this function cannot be used with inline actions. When you call an inline action its execution mode is either inherited or implicitly specified.
