# Practical features for workflow designers

Various new features for several activities make designing workflows even easier and more precise.

**Component**: Workflow Designer

**Activities “Task”, “Condition” and “Assign data”** New workflow expressions are available for converting data and checking values within list variables.

**“Web service” activity**

- For configuring index tables, you can use a new “Replace” checkbox option for rows.
- In addition to JSON, you can now also use the XML format to assign the values that are returned by RESTful web services. Thus, you can map lists of values to specific columns in index tables within workflows.
- To specify a test document when sending an HTTP request to a RESTful web service, you can now attach such a document. This is done by using a new button.

**“Email” activity**

The labels of the global variables are now displayed when defining a recipient. This makes it easier to identify the correct variable when dealing with languages that use different character sets.

Benefit

- More flexibility in data assignment
