Activity Panel¶
Activities are pre-defined nodes used to create workflows for performing complex IT operations. The Activities panel lists the activities required for the creation. Drag an activity from the Activity panel to the design canvas to configure that activity. Each activity has specific attributes and properties.

Different types of activities are available in the design canvas based on the nature of the workflow.
The generic aspects and features of the activity panel are explained in this documentation.
