Required **text**. Text displayed in the workflow editor that represents the workflow rule. The rule sentence can contain static text and also text that is dynamically generated at run time. Variables can be embedded into the sentence using the notation %1, %2, and so on. Each variable maps to a **FieldBind** element **Id**. Then, during workflow design, the text that is displayed for these variables is the **Text** attribute of the **FieldBind** element. |
