- Basic Activities
  - Activities Used to Create Workflows
    Activities comprise the main building blocks or steps that perform the actions in a subprocess or workflow.
  - Third-party Activities
    Workflow can utilize third-party activities that are compatible with Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation.
  - Predefined User Activities
    A user activity defines part of a user-defined process in a workflow process step. For a workflow to run, all user activities must be valid (contain no errors) and enabled (active).
  - Data Access Activities
    These activities are used for passing information and data between workflows and activities.
  - Workflow Control Activities
    These activities are used for creating changes in a workflow, such as starting or stopping activities, during run time.
    - Start Schedule Activity
      The Start Schedule activity allows a workflow schedule to start during the execution of another workflow.
    - Start Workflow Activity
      The Start Workflow activity allows one workflow to start another workflow at runtime.
    - End Task Activity
      When designing a workflow, you can use this activity to cancel or complete a task that is currently executing in a running workflow.
      - Configure an activity to end a task during run time
        When designing a workflow, you can use this activity to cancel or complete a task that is currently executing in a running workflow.
    - End Task Step Activity
      When designing a workflow, you can use this activity to cancel or complete a task step that is currently executing in a running workflow.
  - Message Queue Activities
    These activities are used for working with a messaging queue in order to co-ordinate work between workflows and activities.
  - Flow Control Activities
    These activities are used to create multiple execution layers within workflow logic.
  - Event-based Activities
    These activities are used when you require workflow logic to start an event during run time.
  - Keyword Activities
    You can use keywords to replace text in work instructions and email subjects and bodies. This text is replaced with keyword values in a workflow at run time.
  - Operator Activities
    These activities are used by operators when a workflow is running the Task List.
  - eSOP Activities
    These activities are used when working with the eSOP Editor.
