.ACTIONS File Example (WorkflowActions)

This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

This example shows the general structure of a valid .ACTIONS file that can be used to import custom conditions and actions into a declarative, rules-based code-free workflow editor, such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007.

Example

The following XML is an example of how an .ACTIONS file could be constructed to add Conditions or Actions elements to the default list.
