Function:

You can use this activity to control various aspects of the workflow container implemented in a viewer. For example, you could show or hide the container, change the title, configure a visual busy indicator, and change the display message.

In a Workflow:

Typically, workflow containers are used to display feedback to the user between activities, or at the beginning of the workflow to let the user know that something is happening. This activity could be used to display a "Loading" message to the user while execution of a long-running workflow activity is progressing. This gives the user immediate feedback that something is happening instead of waiting until the long-running activity completes before displaying a result.
