Browsing for Entries

Some activities allow you to browse to a folder or document in your repository for the activity to use. Other activities let you browse for an entry used by another activity.

Example: The Find Entry activity lets you browse and select an entry from your repository that will be used in the workflow. The Rename Entry activity lets you browse for and rename entries already used in your workflow.

When you browse for an entry, by selecting the Browse button or clicking the Select link, one of the following dialog boxes will appear, depending on the type of entry the activity can interact with:

  2. Select the entry and click OK. The selected entry will appear in the activity's properties pane.
