  </xsd:unique>
</xsd:element>

Remarks

For every action and task included in the hwsWorkflow element, a button is enabled on the Workflow task pane; however, the button event must be scripted manually for each action and task.

InfoPath does not support multiple actions in a form and does not support HWS activity models (predefined sets of actions).

Note   If this element or attribute is in the form definition file (.xsf), InfoPath Forms Services will prevent the form template from being deployed to the server as a browser-compatible form.
