Default element (WorkflowInfo)

  • Article

Applies to: SharePoint 2016 | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Online | SharePoint Server 2013

The Default element is a container for other elements and has no definable attributes.

Note

The Default element is only read from the default WSS.ACTIONS file and cannot be overridden with a custom .ACTIONS file.

Definition

<Default>
        <RuleDesigner>
            <FieldBind>
                <Option>…</Option>
            </FieldBind>
        </RuleDesigner>
</Default>

Remarks

When you create workflows by using a declarative, code-free workflow editor, such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010, the .ACTIONS file that is installed on the server is combined into a single list of items and displayed to the workflow editor. Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 then searches for existing workflow conditions. If SharePoint Foundation 2010 finds a condition that is not represented by an entry in an .ACTIONS file, the Default element sentence is displayed for that condition.

Example

The following XML demonstrates how to construct a Default element to make it visible to the workflow editor.

    <WorkflowInfo Language="en-us">
       <Conditions And="and" Or="or" Not="not" When="If" Else="ElseIf">
          <Condition
                  AppliesTo="list"
                  Assembly="MyWorkflowProject.Workflow1
                            PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c,
                            Version=1.0.0.0,
                            Culture=neutral"
                  ClassName="MyWorkflowProject.Workflow1.MyClass"
                  FunctionName="IsOrderComplete"
                  Name="Check if item in %1 is a complete order"
                  Type="Custom"
                  UsesCurrentItem="True">
              <RuleDesigner>...</RuleDesigner>
          </Condition>
          <Default>
             <RuleDesigner Sentence="the file type is %1">
                <FieldBind ID=1 Field="_1_" Text="specific type" DesignerType="Type">
                   <Option></Option>
                </FieldBind>
             </RuleDesigner>
          </Default
       </Conditions>
    </WorkflowInfo>
