INPUT

DelayAfter:  It helps the user to add a delay to start the execution of the further activity. The format of the delay here is milliseconds.
By default, it will be set to zero. When the option is left blank, no delay is considered.

DelayBefore: It helps the user to add delay before the execution of the current activity. The format of the delay here is milliseconds.
By default, it will be set to zero. When the option is left blank, no delay is considered.

FilterType: Choose either node name or Xpath from the drop down. 

XPath: Enter the Xpath expression to navigate through the nodes and extract the value.
NodeName: Use the Node name from the XML document to extract the value. 

None: When None is opted, by default the activity will perform with “NodeName” functionality.

FilterValue: Enter the node name or the XPath expression from which the details have to be retrieved. This accepts only string format. 

XMLDocument:  Specify the input which is the  Xdocument output from where it returns the extracted node details.

 MISC

DisplayName: Displays the name of the activity. It can also be customized for troubleshooting purpose.

SkipOnError: It specifies whether to continue executing the workflow even if it throws an error. This supports only Boolean value “True or False”. By default, it is set to “False.”

True: Continues the workflow to the next step
False: The workflow aborts if it throws any error.

None: If the option is specified as blank, by default the activity will perform as “False” action.

Version: It specifies the version of the XML automation feature in use

OUTPUT

Result: It helps to view the execution state of the activity. It returns the values in Boolean format.

True: It indicates the activity has been executed successfully without any error.

False: It indicates that the activity has been faulted due to some unexceptional error thrown.

XmlNode: It helps you to view the output value in “node” extracted from the Xdocument as an array format. (Refer to the steps in creating a workflow.)
