- 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.
  - 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.
    - Status Message Activity
      The Status Message activity allows you to create custom status messages throughout the instance of a workflow.
    - Form Activity
      The Form activity allows user-created forms and displays to be exposed in the Task List of a running workflow.
    - Write to File Activity
      The Write to File activity allows you create one or more log files for any workflow.

Write to File Activity

The Write to File activity allows you create one or more log files for any workflow.

You can configure multiple Write to File activities in a single workflow. Each activity can write to a separate file or you can append the content to an existing file.

Workflow log files are automatically written to the folder %ProgramData%\Proficy\Workflow Files. You can include additional folders to the file path that are relative to this path; for example, temp\<filename>.txt.
