The UI screenshot needs a 100 records added . And the steps are in first screenshot. So if I need a loop to add a record in UI 100 times which loop do I use , while or for?

Since you have a fixed limit of 100, I'd use a for loop of 1 to 100 to put those steps in.

What needs to be added in 1. Loop Variable and in 4. Step?

From the help topic I posted above.

Operation Parameters

The operation has the following parameters:

Loop Variable

Specifies the name of a variable that will be used as the loop variable. It is used to determine the number of loops (see Remarks below). If you do not specify the loop variable, it will be created automatically when the loop starts and deleted when the loop ends. However, in this case, you will not be able to get access to this variable in your test.

Start Value

Specifies the initial value of the loop variable.

End Value

Specifies the end value of the loop variable. The loop works until the loop variable is equal to the End Value.

Step

Specifies the value to be used to change the loop variable.
