Use this procedure to add activities to a personalized activity group. Activities can belong to more than one group; for example, you can create a Favorites group and populate it with both default and custom activities that already belong to other groups.

Important
You can only add activities to personalized activity groups; you cannot change the default activity groups.

If you want to use custom activities in workflows, you need to add them to a group in order to make them available in the Activities Toolbox pane. Note that before you can add custom activities to groups, an administrator must install the appropriate activity assembly files on the computer running the Authoring Tool. For more information, see Modifying the Default Toolbox.

To add activities to a personalized activity group

  1. In the Activities Toolbox pane, right-click the group, and then click Choose Activities.

  2. In the Choose Activities for a Group dialog box, scroll the list to find the activities you want to add. Select the check boxes for the activities you want to add.

  3. If you want to use custom activities that do not appear in the list, click Add Custom Activities. In the Select Custom Activity Assembly dialog box, select the custom activity assembly file, and then click Open. This adds the custom activities from this assembly file to the activity list.

  4. After you have selected all of the activities for the group, click OK.
