Selecting Entries for Activities

Some activities can dynamically interact with other activities in the same workflow definition. These include:

• Activities that can return or generate entries within a workflow (e.g., Create Entry and Find Entry).
• Activities that can be performed on entries returned or generated by another activity in the same workflow (e.g., Add Sticky Note and Assign Tags).

Note: Unless you specify otherwise, all activities are performed on the entry that starts the workflow.

To select which entries an activity will be performed on

1. Add an activity to your workflow by dragging it from the Toolbox Pane and dropping it in the Designer Pane.

   Note: Not all activities allow you to choose which entries they will be performed on.

2. Select the activity in the Designer Pane.
3. In the Properties Pane, in the appropriate property box, choose one of the following.
