Sorry but I have no clue what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to create a recording with those two actions and you want to loop this recording? Or do you want to create a recording for each action and you only want to loop the first recording with the "Press+N'" action?

Did you read the User Guide? If not I would recommend you to read the User Guide

Hi,
i would like to create a document by pressing ctrl+n and after that i would like to jump back to the state before and the i would like to create a document via the menu. In other words i would like to loop over these actions / records.

Thanks

PS: I have read the complete manual.
PPS: How can i suppress the logs at the end of each test case?

Hi,

All these mentioned steps have to be located in one recording and if you want to execute the same steps more often you have to create a simple data table in the specific test case with the count variable.
If you for instance want to execute the recording four times you have to add four rows to the specific column.
PPS: How can i suppress the logs at the end of each test case?
Do you want to turn off logging at all or do you just want that the report is not automatically shown after the execution ends?

Hi,
thank you for your kind reply. But i don't want to perform one step several times. I would like to perform one action, jump back (or undo this step) and perform another action, undo this step and perform another action and so on.

Thank you.

PS: I just don't want the report to be shown automatically after the execution ends?

Just to clarify this: You want to execute one step and the set your unit after test back to previous step?

This is possible but you have to use a setup container with a Recording which prepares your unit under test to this state or you record this steps to prepare your AUT after you've executed your steps. Means you have to do this in your recording because Ranorex just execute commands and it doesn't know the state of your AUT or can it set back to a specific state.
