Web Loop Table should be used only after the target web page is fully loaded and the required web table is identified. This step is specifically designed to iterate through an HTML table and must be placed at a point in the workflow where the table elements are available on the page.

Start Loop, on the other hand, is used to iterate over workflow data such as rows, counters, or conditional logic and is not dependent on any specific web page or web element.

Thanks for the clear explanation. The distinction between **Web Loop Table** and **Start Loop** makes much more sense now. Using **Web Loop Table** specifically for iterating through HTML table rows after the page has fully loaded, while reserving **Start Loop** for workflow logic, counters, and conditional iterations, helps avoid confusion when designing automation processes. This clarification will definitely be useful for anyone building web automation workflows in AutomationEdge.
