Important Update: Changes to Action Catalogs in Action Center

Are there any other potential errors or issues to be aware of when working with Action Catalogs after these changes?

Impact of the Change: One of the significant changes introduced is the enforcement of stricter rules when linking actions to Action Catalogs within workflow activities. If you have configured a workflow activity that involves Action Catalogs (such as "Create Form Task," "Create Document Validation Action," or "Create Document Classification Action"), it is crucial to note that these actions will now adhere to stricter rules.

The key impact of this change is as follows: If an Action Catalog is specified in the workflow activity, but the corresponding catalog does not exist within the designated folder, the creation of the action will fail. Users attempting to create such actions will encounter an error message indicating "No task catalog exists with the name [Catalog Name]."

No Impact without Action Catalog: For those users whose workflow activities do not utilize Action Catalogs, rest assured that this change will not affect your workflow behavior. If Action Catalogs are not employed in the workflows, no additional actions or modifications are required on your part. The workflow will continue to operate seamlessly without any disruption.

How to Recover from an Error? In the event, the "No task catalog exists with the name [Catalog Name]" error is encountered while attempting to create or configure actions within your workflow, the solution is straightforward. Following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Actions" menu.
  2. Select "Admin Settings."
  3. Within the Admin Settings, locate and click on "Create Action Catalog."
  4. Create the missing Action Catalogs in the appropriate folders as needed.

By following these steps, recover from any errors related to missing Action Catalogs and ensure the uninterrupted operation of your workflow activities.
