How we create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve the document.

Hi to all
I have team site in site collection under this i have Shared Document library. Now i want to create the workflow for the shared Document library. How i will create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve
the document.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a workflow which contains review and approval process.
For implemening your requirement, you can create a workflow containing two steps. The first step is used to collect user information and set workflow variables, and the second step is used to verify whether the reviewer approve. If the reviewers complete
approving, a pproval workflow is started. The whole workflow is like :

SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

I am unable to do SharePoint Designer workflow for approval process and I didnt get any Approval process in Actions in SharePoint designer Workflow also I don't find workflow features in Site collection features SharePoint 2013.
Even I am not able to do simple Out of the box Approval Workflow.
Kindly help me with this

Unfortunately, Out of the box workflows are not available in SharePoint foundation 2013, you need at least the standard version of SharePoint 2013.
You can still create .Net Workflows using the 2010 plateform.
Take a look at this great comparative between the three versions of SharePoint 2013 :

How to convert document file in PDf format through workflow using sharepoint designer

Please suggest me solution it's urgent.....please.

Hi Anil,
If Word Automation Services is installed in your environment then that may be an option (Providing you are only interested in converting MS-Word documents). However SharePoint does not ship with an out-of-the-box workflow activity that makes use of this.
You may want to consider some third party software that supports formats other than MS-Word as well and comes with workflow actions for SharePoint Designer (and Nintex Workflow) out of the box. Have a look at the
Muhimbi PDF Converter for SharePoint.
Disclaimer, I worked on this product so I am obviously biased. (It works great though :-)

How to implement schedule workflow using SharePoint Designer?

Hi All,
Please let me know , How to implement the schedule workflow using Share Point Designer.
Thank You.

~Sri

+1 to this. The closest that you'll get with list / level features is using Information Rights. You can trigger workflows based on time/date columns, which may serve your needs.
Failing that, you will indeed need a custom timer job.

Sharepoint Forms and Custom Lists and Workflows using Sharepoint Designer

I created a Custom SharePoint List with a custom work flow. Basically the list does the following:
Group A initiates the list, fills in all the information
Group A will check a box based on a Y/N question, the driver of the work flow is if the Y/N question is answered with an Y, then Group B will get a task assigned and an email notification will go to Group B to continue the work flow.
Group B will fill out information and check Y/N question, if answer is returned Y it will go to Group C via the same method as above.
What I need is as the form goes from one group to the next how can I make sure that Group C doesn't see the responses from Group B? How do I write this into the workflow?

I think now I can add screen shots to explain what I need to do better.
I created a custom sharepoint list. Users click on Add new Item and Group A will answer generic questions until they get to Continue to Dispute to IQ (Yes/no) Checkbox. If they answer Yes, the workflow will start and create a task for Group B
(IQ Group). Group B will answer 4 questions (IQ Responses, IQ Notes, IQ Name and Date). Group B will check Yes or No to Continue Dispute to QA (Group C).
See Screen shot.
What we would like for the workflow to do is based on the Yes or No check boxes (Continue to IQ or QA). If Yes is checked then the workflow will generate a task in the task list. We don't want Group B and C to see each other's responses. I set up a workflow
using impersonate steps, but am not sure if this is correct. Can you look at the workflow steps below and let me know if this is right?

Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
Steps to recreate error:
Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow.
In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save (see screenshot below).
Error message is displayed as below:
After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
Workaround
When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
Notes
Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService
cmdlet.
Any clue on why is this happening?

Hi Vivek,
Please close your SharePoint Designer application, clear/delete the cached files and folders under the following directories from your server installed SharePoint Designer, then check results again.
<user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache

Getting error while publishing workflow using SP designer for SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I am try to setup Workflow manager for our sharepoint applications.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error while publishing workflow using SharePoint designer for SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
In addition, please try to re-register Workflow Service.
If the issues still exists, please follow the steps in the
Steps to Verify that Server Is Correctly Set Up. After you verified that the server is correctly set up, follow the steps in the
Steps to Troubleshoot Workflow Management Service and
Troubleshooting the Service Bus for Windows Server then retry your action related to publishing workflows

Hi Aditi,
Which type of workflow did you use?
Did you create the workflow using SharePoint 2010 Designer or built-in workflow template?
If the workflow was created using SharePoint 2010 Designer, for editing the workflow using SharePoint Designer, open the site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, then click the 'Workflows' in left panel. Then in the right panel, click the workflow that you
want to edit, then click 'edit workflow' under Customization.
I hope this helps.

Errors were found when compiling workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hello there,
I've run into a interesting issue in SharePoint Designer 2010 when publishing a workflow. I now get the below error
Normally when I get this message I simply clear the SharePoint Designer 2010 cache described in this
article, however, in this case the issue still continued. Hence I started the process of trial and error and quickly realized that the Update Item action was the culprit. In this action I am updating approximately 70 columns. Currently, I have two such
actions running in sequence. When I added the third Update Item action to do the same, I started getting this error.
Has anyone else experienced this before? In the workflow I am currently working on I am going to have to using the Update Item action several times and update approximately 70 columns hence I am open to other ideas to do the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Entan Ming,
Thanks for your reply, Hope you are aware that while we create any new workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013. There are two ways (We can say Platforms) to create the new workflow 1. SharePoint
2010 and 2. SharePoint 2013.
If I choose second one I. e SharePoint 2013, and try to create, save and publish workflow it`s working fine. But whenever I select option no. 1 i.e. SharePoint 2010 Platform to create
the workflow, I am able to Create it , save it , but while I try to publish it I got an error:
Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.
When I click on Advance I got message:
Unexpected error on server associating the workflow
My question is that, I am not able to publish any workflow in SharePoint 2010 Platform, using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Before publishing a workflow, I click on ‘Check for errors’ button, there was no any error found.
Thanks & Regards Mr. Bajirao Shinde

Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

Hi,
i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
Here is a great article for your reference:
Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
However, every task can only have one task form.
That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
You can create different view for the approvors.
You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.

Add, delete, and switch views (pages) in a form - InfoPath

Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer Office 365: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities

Hi,
I get the above error whenever I try to save a new WorkFlow. I have cleared the caches
<user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
<user profile>\appdata\local\microsoft\websitecache\<sitename>, and
I still get the same issue.
We are using SharePoint Designer 2013 (15.0.4569.1503) and connecting to SharePoint 2013 on Office 365.
Can you please provide more insight?
Thanks.

Hi Rake,
You can compare your PC and another machine which is working, see if it is related to IE settings(e.g. SharePoint urls in trusted sites zone).
And you can try re-install the SharePoint Designer 2013 with same version and bit-version(32/64) on your PC like another machine, then check again.

Copy ID from one library to list using sharepoint designer workflow 2013

Hello,
I am new In SharePoint Designer workflow.
I want to copy ID [by default] from one SharePoint Library to SharePoint List by using SharePoint Designer workflow 2013.
So Please provide me any solution on it.
Thanks,
Samadhan.

Hi Bjorn,
Please create a workflow based on SharePoint 2010 platform, there is OOB action "Copy List Item" which can copy attachment to another list.
Then use "Update List Item" action to update fields value for the new item. In this action, we could use Item title to locate the newly created item. For your reference：
However, we cannot make this workflow to start automatically. As workaround, we could use SharePoint Designer to create a Custom Action in the Source List and initiate the workflow. In my test, I created a Custom Action in the type of List Item Menu. Then
the custom action would appear in the Item ellipsis dropdown menu:
