Approval workflow - user sees greyed out box

Hi All,
I've implemented approval workflow on one of my lists.
User who is placed in Approvers input box receives mail, but when he tries to do the action on this workflow, box with accept/reject buttons is greyed out.
I gave mentioned user full control security - it doesn't help. Do I need any permission for approval users, or maybe it is caused by something else?
Regards,
Michal

Why is my preview area showing only greyed out boxes instead of photos?

I am unable to import my photos so they can be seen. Whether I try to import them from the hard drive, camera card, or my desktop (following the tutorial), I do not see photographs in the preview area, only greyed out boxes instead of photos. If I imported 6 photos, I have six greyed out (photo-sized) boxes. The specific photos are there somehow, becuase they are properly named when I scroll the mouse over them, but I see only flat grey, no pictures. As I said, this happens even when I follow the tutorial and import from my desktop.

George,
I appreciate you responding to my inquiry. We (that would be the "royal" we, which would be my husband) finally determined that the monitor was not configured properly. "We" discovered this out after uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom several times.
To answer your question, I was trying to import both photos taken in JPEG, as well as RAW, both were problematic. I could import no images. It was interesting that I could tell all of the data was coming over (when I floated the cursor over a grayed-out box I could read the data), just not the images.
I have a Nikon D5100. I purchased Lightroom 5.0 just before now(two days ago), and was trying to install and play with it. I upgraded to 5.2 as I was going into it for the first time (it is an automatic question). I knew there was obviously a problem when I couldn't see any images. Particularly when I went into the tutorials -- it just reemphasized that something was wrong. Who ever thinks of how their monitor is configured?????
Thank you for following up. I was very frustrated for many, many hours.

New User/Group greyed out

Running OS X Server 10.4.10. Fresh install as of today. Have OD Master set up and one test account is successfully authenticating. When I join it to the AD domain, it works as well with AD credentials.
For some reason, New User and New Group is greyed out. This was not the case before. I am authenticated to WGM using diradmin, but adding and deleting users is greyed out.
I've ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. No help yet. This is frustrating.
Help!

Tony,
I called Apple and talked to an Edu Server guy who had me unbind from LDAP, reboot and rebind. That fixed it! My server is now doing what I want it to do and I am rather happy.

Grey out box

hi All,
I have a input box in my BSP, but user wants it to be greyed out unless someone selects an entry from a dropdown list we have in same view, can someone suggest how to do this please?
thanks,
Gols

Hi Gols,
You can use the below code in your layout section to define the inputField -
      <%
IF g_selection is initial.
     w_disabled = 'TRUE'.
ELSE.
     w_disabled = 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.
      %>
      <htmlb:inputField id       = "i_input"
                        disabled = "<%= w_disabled %>"
                        value    = "<%= w_value %>" />
Here g_selection is the value of your dropdownField selection. w_disabled is the variable which will store the value TRUE or FALSE to determine if the inputField is disabled or not.
On selection of an entry in your dropdownfiled the onInputProcessing event would be triggered after which the layout would be rendered again. This would change the value of the variable w_disabled from TRUE to FALSE.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Saurabh

Greyed out boxes

I went back all the way to page 57 of the forums looking for a satisfactory fix to this issue and haven't found one.
I checked my file permissions, they are set correctly so that I have full control over the files and folders.
The files/folders are NOT read only.
I CAN edit the info on files that were imported BEFORE the most recent version of iTunes, but I CANNOT edit the info on files (most notably video files) that are imported POST upgrade.
I tried repairing my iTunes install, I tried dragging the files into my library, I tried doing File -> Import. I converted my files with different programs. I tried the iTunes script program that someone on here recommended.
All to no avail.
Is my only solution to go back to the version of iTunes that was current before 7.6.0.29 and if so, where do I find an installer for that? I'm not worried about not having rental capability, I would much rather be able to tag my files correctly.

Not necessarily...you can scroll to the right most column that lists out the package. If it is $TMP then you need to assign the package. You can do that by right click> Assign package on this object. When you assign the package it will prompt for transport request.
To collect the InfoObjects for a cube, you need to list out the objects reqd by the cube and then Select from under the InfoObjects in the left hand pane.
When you have everything on the right-hand side, you can click on the Change Package button (if everything needs to go to the same package) and provide the package.
Hope this helps...

Copy user greyed out in SU01

When i am executing SU01 t-code copy user is greyed out and infact copy user icon is also not showing . I already have the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorization with my id .

You are authorized to assign the authorizations, systems, roles, profiles, and reference users that are assigned to the user to be copied. Otherwise, the role for which you do not have authorization is not copied to the new user master record. When copying or assigning a reference user, the system checks whether you are authorized to assign its profiles and roles.
If you cannot copy the template user completely, because, for example, the reference user does not exist in the current system, the system displays a log with the exact causes of the error.

IMAP Email Box Greyed Out

I have read other threads on numerous Apple Mail problems with iPhone V2.1 but nobody seems to have this particular problem, so here goes!
1st gen iPhone running 2.1 - just updated from 1.1.2 and wish I hadn't.
In the Mail app, I have 3 email accounts, all IMAP. 1 MobileMe account and 2 Fastmail accounts. The MobileMe and 1 of the Fastmail accounts behave perfectly. The other Fastmail account with almost the same settings other than the username and password, has a greyed-out Inbox which I cannot access. It downloads the number of emails just fine - it registers next to the Inbox how many new emails are waiting at any given time. So it must be connecting to the server. Yet I cannot access the Inbox itself UNLESS the iPhone actually opens Mail at thart particular Inbox and there indeed are all the emails. If I then leave the Inbox and try to go back to it - again, greyed out. This is driving me nuts.
I have tried:
1. Holding down the Home button to quit Mail as per advice in another thread. Doesn't help.
2. Restoring via iTunes to 2.1 again. Doesn't help.
3. Switching the rogue mail account on and off via Settings. Doesn't help.
4. Deleting the entire rogue email account via Settings and within iTunes. Then asking iTunes to "replace mail information on this iPhone". Doesn't help.
5. Deleting the rogue email account and inputting the account back into the iPhone manually. Doesn't help.
I really am at a loss now. Short of Restoring again and this time setting up my iPhone as a new phone, instead of asking it to restore all my old settings, I don't know what to do. And I don't want to do that because then I lose some very precious SMS texts that I want to keep on the iPhone.
Why would one Fastmail IMAP account work perfectly and not the other? It has exactly the same settings, port numbers etc. The only things that are different are the log in name and password.
This rogue email account was working perfectly for 24 hours under 2.1 and then suddenly the Inbox becomes greyed out for seemingly no reason.
If this was happening on my MacBook Pro I'd start troubleshooting by deleting the Mail preference files in the Library. But that isn't possible with the iPhone because I've no idea what files to look for. I may delete something important.
Has anyone any suggestions - other than throwing the iPhone out of the window or taking it back to 1.1.4 [which actually seems a better option]? Is it possible to go back to 1.1.4?

After HOURS of fiddling with this problem, I have at last got my business Fastmail working on the iPhone! It isn't perfect, as I had to fiddle around with the IMAP pathways in Apple Mail on my computer to get it to work with 2.1 on the iPhone, but it is working.
What had happened was that synchronising the Mail with the new 2.1 software on the iPhone, had actually created a new second Inbox within my Fastmail account itself! A knock-on effect in that the second Inbox created on the iPhone had synced back to Apple Mail on my computer and from there to Fastmail. So everything had become very muddled, hence the greyed-out box on the iPhone. I therefore had to go right back to the "head" of the queue - the Fastmail account on the web - delete the extra boxes the iPhone had created, set up the Fastmail account within Apple Mail on my computer all over again, reset the IMAP pathways, and then sync to the iPhone.
I have now switched off the setting that automtically syncronises the Mail box settings on 2.1 on the iPhone so that it doesn't happen again!
It just goes to show I should listen to my own advice - don't ever upgrade just for the sake of it! If something is working and it does what you want it to do, leave it alone. Should have stayed with 1.1.2 for now.

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
Thanks for your help.

Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
Thanks

LR4.4 - blacked out boxes when importing images from upgraded PSE10 catalogue [was: Lightroom 4]

I have been using photoshop elements 10 for over a year and decided it was time to upgrade to Lightroom for my photo workflow as I am doing more paid photography work. I purchased and received my boxed full version of Lightroom 4 from B & H photovideo on Friday. I installed it then went on-line and updated it with the download of lightroom 4.4. Then I opened lightroom 4.4 for the first time and went to files and selected upgrade my photoshope elemnts catalog to lightroom. Once that was completed I then tried to import images to lightroom 4 to work with them and all I get are blacked out or greyed out boxes in my slide strip at the bottom of the desktop window in import mode. When I point to each box it shows a file name but will not show the image. I have spent all kinds of time reading and watching tutorials on opening images, importing images and catalogs and I am FRUSTRATED.... Would really like to talk to someone to get this figured out. I never thought it would be this difficult to use this program... HELP Please...

I would like to THANK YOU for your assistance in my situation. I followed your suggestion and went into my monitor settings and did a manual reset to the default profile and went back to Lr and the images started popping up one at a time until all 7000+ were visable. Just for the record, I am using Canon 1Ds Mark II, on a Quadcor AMD unlocked FX processor running Windows 7. I shoot in RAW and convert to JPG. It would have been the last thing for me to look at on my monitor settings as all the other programs on my computer run without a glitch. Thanks again for your help... Cheers!

Internet Sharing won't work, greyed out... but not on! Suggestions?

I'm trying to start internet sharing on my MacBookPro (13-inch, Mid 2012).
I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E2617).
Ethernet is on and connected. Wifi is on and connected to a created network (which I created to share out my internet).
Why are the options to turn it on greyed out? Any suggestions appreciated, as I'm tearing my hair out here.
Also, the box to turn on internet sharing is greyed out. (a non greyed out box appears as fully white when selected in the list.)
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Someone help here?

Home Folder greyed out/Can't access home folder

I'm completely unable to view my home folder after a fresh install of mountain lion. I copied my user folder over and created a new user based on that folder. As you can see it will only show me the large home icon instead of my column view. It is able to be accessed from other views however... it's not consistent. There seems to be a huge finder issue with this user. I've also made a test user and everything over there works fine so it's only on this side.
Here is what it looks like from the other user:
Still greyed out... I've tried everything from help from genii at the store to friends who know UNIX well, I've reset ACLs and repaired permissions ot no avail. If you have any ideas for me please lemme know and I'll try them.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
It's saved and published globally.
Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
Regards
Henning

Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
Learning every day!

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
Thanks

OIM 11gR2 - Out-of-the-box Approval Workflows

Does anyone know of any good resources that describes the out-of-the-box approval/provisioning workflows of 11g R2? I have searched Google back and forth but found nothing. Some of the workflows are obvious by their name (such as default/BeneficiaryManagerApproval!1.0), but others are not so clear regarding their flows.
On that same note, can one of the out-of-the-box approval workflows be configured to route to an approval group instead of single users?
Thanks for your help!

Instead of searching for docs in google i guess reverse-engineering on your own will be the best way to understand the approval workflows. Navigate to OIM_HOME/server/workflows/composites. It will contain all the approval workflow zip files. Unzip the required one which you want to understand and there will be a .jws file in it. Now open that in jdeveloper and open AprrovalProcess.bpel and composite.xml. It will show how the approval routes and what are the business rules written, everything. It is the best way to understand the approval workflows.
In the same way u can make changes to the out-of-the-box approval workflows also. See this OBE tutorial to understand how you can assign the approval to a group
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/Request_Workflow_for_Self_Registration/request_workflow_for_self_registration.htm
Also please try the approval workflow given in the developer's guide which covers most of the basics.
