## Remarks

The allowedActions element is an optional element of the hwsWorkflow element.

Each action to be enabled for the form must have a corresponding action element in the allowedActions section of the form definition file (.xsf).

Note This item is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form defined by a form definition file (.xsf) that includes this item cannot be opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.
