Remarks

The value of this element determines whether the custom workflow action can be displayed in the Commonly used category in the Controls Toolbox for the Workflow designer. If the value is set to true, the custom action can be displayed in both the category specified in the Category element for the custom action and the Commonly used category; otherwise, the custom action is displayed only in the category specified in the Category element for the custom action. If a value is not specified, the default value is false.

When the action definition file is imported in Nintex Workflow Management, the Show In Common Actions field is set to Yes if the value of this element is set to true; otherwise, the field is set to No.
