## Elements in workflow activity definitions {#ariaid-title2}

Each activity can specify a number of elements that control the behavior of the
activity or are controlled by the activity.
Not all activities specify all possible elements. See [Workflow activities](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OTekgfdDx9ehWzMJXsGR5w "Workflow activity properties reference") for links to the
activities provided by default. Each activity description includes a detailed explanation of
the specific elements offered by that activity.  
{#r_ElmtsWkflwActDef__table_e53_zfy_3r__entry__2}

| Element | Description |
|-|-|
| Results | The possible activity.results value. The activity result usually determines which condition the activity transitions through. |
| Scratchpad entries | Scratchpad variables the activity depends on to run, or variables the activity writes to the scratchpad. |
| Input variables | Values that control the behavior of the activity. Fields to set these values appear on the Activity Properties form when a new activity is added to a workflow. See [Activity variables](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/d0t6_hDaG809efpNYSiAcA#t_ActivityVariables "Activity variables are properties specifically associated with a workflow activity.") for more information. |
| Conditions | Determines which transition the activity follows after completing. See [Manage workflow activity conditions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Lg_dCCUML7YfXuCKSiIurQ#t_ManageActivityConditions "Activities contain default conditions that determine which transitions are followed.") for more information. |
| States | Determines how the workflow handles the record being executed. |
