The Workspace displays the automation project structure and its activities. You can double-click on the elements to navigate through the workflow or to view additional activity properties.
Another Monday distinguishes between activity types (1) and scope activities (2). Scope activities are a container for additional activities. Common scope activities are:
- Open Application
- Open Browser
Scope activities can be differentiated based on their activity design, as shown in the screenshot below.
Navigation within the automation project is possible using the breadcrumbs below the workflow tab.
Context menu
You can access the context menu by using left click on the selected activity. Another Monday´s context menu offers various actions that can be performed on the activities within the Workspace. The following actions are available in the context menu:

Pop-ups and dialogs
For most of our activities, we offer a pop-up whenever the user drops an activity into the Workspace. These pop-ups enable the user to easily enter the required properties. Pop-ups include all properties that are required for successful execution.
The below example shows the next illustration and an overview of available pop-ups for the Set Text activity.
You can either set up the input text directly (1) or store the entered text in a variable (2). This can be done using an existing variable or by creating a new one.
To access the pop-ups again, select the activity and use the context menu option Edit Variables or CTRL+ALT+V.
