The category of an activity determines the name of the category in the Controls Toolbox of the Nintex Workflow designer in which the activity is displayed. If a matching group does not exist in Workflow designer, a new group is created for the activity. The Workflow designer attempts to retrieve a value that matches the current locale, determined by the locale ID of the current culture for the current thread. If a matching value cannot be retrieved, Workflow designer uses the value that matches the default locale ID, 1033 (English - United States).
When the action definition file is imported in Nintex Workflow Management, the Category field is set to the value of this element.
The following example contains the category for the custom action included in the ExecuteSqlScalar sample. The custom action is displayed in the Crestan group of the Controls Toolbox. For more information about the ExecuteSqlScalar sample, see ExecuteSqlScalar sample.
<Category>Crestan</Category>
