Adding from the Activities Tree

The Activities tree, in the upper-left corner of the Workflow Designer, lists all activity categories alphabetically. Each category shows:

  • A unique icon (left of the name)
  • A color code (left of the icon)
  • The number of activities in that category (right of the name)

When an activity is added to a workflow, its category color appears in the upper-right corner of the activity element, helping you visually identify its origin.

Many categories are divided into subcategories to organize large sets of activities by type. For example, the Active Directory category contains 30 activities grouped into subcategories like Password Management.
