Collection Name	If the name of a feature set is entered, the Feature Set features are added to the named feature set collection. If not, the default collection is used.
Combine Mode	How the specified features should be combined with the existing features in the target feature set collection. The default is `Union`. Supported values: `Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.CombineMode.Union` `Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.CombineMode.Replace` `Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.CombineMode.Intersect` `Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.CombineMode.Subtract`
Description Format	The description of every feature in the feature set will be formatted based on this value.
