Remarks

Each os:activity element specifies a category attribute that describes a type of functionality. Accelerators are organized by category so that users can quickly access the type of operation that they want. The user determines the default Accelerator for a given category value when the Accelerator is installed.

If your Accelerator doesn't fit a recommended category, you can define your own. The category should be a verb that the user can recognize and not be tied to a specific brand or application. Additionally, because the value of the category attribute is used by Manage Add-ons to organize Accelerators in groups, it should be human-readable and capitalized appropriately.

Examples

The following Accelerator allows the user to quickly send important document details to a blogging service.
