Activity types

TotalAgility supports both manual and automatic activities.

A manual activity is not capture-related, and it is expected to be performed by a person. Data can be passed to and returned from a manual activity. The resources required to perform the activity can be configured and range from a static resource (administrator) to dynamically driven variables that are populated based on rules.

The activities in TotalAgility belong to the following categories:

You can configure C# scripts, VB .NET scripts, Expressions, .NET assemblies, or .NET Form actions, which when run into TotalAgility on a multi-tenant environment, allow or restrict certain actions, such as accessing data from different tenants such as reading memory, file system or database.

For example, if you execute a .NET/C#/VB.NET activity that contains malicious or other script that tries to access the file system, the activity fails and the job is suspended. Similarly, if you execute a .NET form action that contains malicious or other script that tries to access the file system, the action fails and returns an error.

To allow these scenarios to execute, you must first configure the Safe Scripting option in the configuration file. For Safe Scripting configuration, refer to the Kofax TotalAgility On-Premise Multi-Tenancy Installation Guide.
