  • <%inputList%> - the input variable of type list, created with the data model book created at the previous step.
  • <%Result%> - the output string variable that will hold the result of the List Totring action.

The input list variable can be created without the aid of a data model, but it will only use one data type inside the list.

Step 5. Click the List ToString action to access its configurations.
