RegionName is obsolete and do I have the correct layout
This is multiple questions here.
I'm very new to the workflow program and I'm attempting (and barely making it) at creating a workflow with a combobox. I'm receiving an error in the form designer for the Region Name field. I have "DataRegion" entered, (I have no idea what else to put here) and the error is "Warning: The RegionName argument is obsolete. Please use WorkflowContainerName." I'm totally lost on this. I barely know what I'm doing here. I don't know what the WorkflowContainerName means.
Also, what I'm attempting is to have a combo box so the user can select a precinct number and it returns the geometry. So far all I have been able to do is have the user select a precinct and it returns the result, but no geometry. (It finds the correct precinct, but only returns the attributes, I can't zoom to it.) If anyone can assist also with how that workflow should look would be great.
Current set-up - Flowchart - Form with combo box - Decision - False, user cancelled - True, assign - query (Not sure if I need this) - Decision False, no Results - True - Select Features. See the attached picture.
I was playing with the RunExternalCommand (so ignore that for now, unless I need it!)

Look at the Silverlight 1.7 Administrator and Developer Guide on page 16 for Region info (image below)
Look at the GeoCortex Workflow Designer pdf for more on Workflows.
Good luck

Hi Evan,
The 'Workflow Container' is the area of the viewer that 'contains' and displays visual output of workflow activities. There is a 'Configure Workflow Container' activity that lets you customize aspects of the container such as the title, whether a busy indicator should be displayed, and the icon to use. If you customize a workflow container in this way, you can set a name for your workflow container, that you can reference in other activities, such as the DisplayForm activity. You might want to do this if you had a form display before a query task that takes a while to complete, so that the user sees your message and a busy indicator (if you've set 'Is Busy' to True), so they know that the workflow is still running, and hasn't frozen.
Alternatively, you can also configure workflow containers in the Silverlight Viewer's Management Pack. If you edit your Silverlight Viewer and go to the Workflow tab, you will see definitions for the most common workflow containers already: ModalWindow, which acts like a popup, ModalWindowNoCloseButton, which is particularly useful for creating a disclaimer page where you don't want the user to dismiss the popup without agreeing to the terms, and Default, which is set to the DataRegion.
To ensure the geometry gets returned in your query, make sure the "Return Geometry" field is set to True, and that the SHAPE field is accessible at the REST Endpoint for your layer.

Victoria,
Is it possible to have more than one form in the same container (for example, the default container)?
The first form has a list and a button. User select a layer to search from the list, then click on the Search button.
After the Search button is click on the first form, the second form appears under the first form in the same container/panel. The second form allows user to put in search criteria.
After user click Search button on the second form, the search results appears in the same container under the second form.
I attached a picture of the forms below.
Is it possible to achieve this? Thank you.

It is not possible to have the forms and results appear stacked on top of each other so that they are all visible in the same region at the same time, but they can target the same container. This will mean that the first form will display in the Data Region, and then when Search is clicked the first form will close and the second form will appear in it's place. When Search is clicked on the second form, it will close and be replaced by the search results.
