Set map extent

I'm relatively new to workflows. I have a workflow that is launched from the I want to menu and very simply toggles all the layers off and then toggles two other layers of interest on- no query task or anything like that.

 

My question is how do I set the extent of the map to either a) the extent of the layers that are toggled on or b) hardcode a bounding box of coordinates? For the latter, I have tried adding the "Set Map extent" under common client, but all it asks is a variable, and I'm not sure where to enter an xmin, xmax, etc. This must be pretty simple right?

  Andrew, one solution is to set bookmarks to each of these extents. After doing so, you can insert a RunExternalCommand to your workflow with Command Name set to "ZoomToNamedExtent" in quotes like that, and Command Parameter simply the name of the bookmark, also in quotes. I use this technique in a workflow that sets initial map extent by user name.

  With Set Map Extent, you can get the variable you need for it from a GetFeatureSetExtent of a query result. But since you said you have no query, I think the bookmarks I mentioned might be the easiest solution in your case.
