LookupPerson
This activity was not migrated to the new namespaces of the Anthology object model.
The LookupPerson activity is a function that captures the Person Id from an event and returns the Person.
Use this lookup function when you need to know the properties of a person in a workflow that has preceding activities containing the Person Id.
Note: This activity can be used to look up the Person properties for Students and Staff members.
