The XML source can be selected from these three options:
Current item: The item in the list or library to which this workflow is associated. This option is only available if this action is being applied to a library.
URL: A URL to the XML source to be processed. A username and password can be specified when accessing the URL. If no credentials are specified, the request will be made anonymously.
XML: Direct XML entered in the configuration dialog.
Process using
None: The resulting XML will not be processed. This allows the reading of the XML file or source without processing.
XPath: Allows querying of XML to retrieve data from a node or node set. Click on the XPath Builderbutton to use the XML browser to navigate the XML structure and select an element from the XML data. Note: If the XML source specified for the action is available and all tokens and references are replaced with actual run time values, then the XPath Builder will use the XML source to display the XML structure within the XML browser. Otherwise, sample XML data will need to be provided in order to select the node using the XML browser. Note: The expression must return a node set. If the XML includes an explicit default namespace, then 'defaultNS' must be used as the prefix when selecting nodes in that namespace.
XSLT: Allows the transformation of XML.
