Cannot save a workflow as a template?

I have saved a workflow before as a template, but as of now the icon in the ribbon is grayed out.
Can someone tell me what I am missing?
As always, thank you for your support.

Hi,
It has to be reusable workflow.  For more information please refer to the forum link

  • Why i cannot save title as a template. Especially subtitles template.

    Why i cannot  save title as a template. Especially subtitles template.

    Depends on which version of the program you're using, of course. But you CAN set a font style and size and your default in most versions of the program.

  • Cannot Save as Template in Pages '09

    I would like to create a template in Pages '09. However, whenever I go to File -> Save as template and try to save it, Pages gives me an error message telling me that I don't have permission to do so. I have selected Get Info on the file and made sure that my permissions were Read & Write (they were), but I still cannot save the file.
    I am using Mavericks iOS, which has given me nothing but trouble. I hate it....
    Any suggestions?

    It is more likely that where you want to save it hasn't the right permissions.
    If you hate Mavericks you shold go back to an earlier MacOS.
    You have  a Macbook Pro. Have you restarted it lately?  You could start it on the installation disk you get when you buy the computer ans use the disc utility to Repair permissions.

  • Cannot save site as template (An Unknown Error Has Occurred) even with the correct permissions/settings?

    Hi everyone,
    We're currently experiencing some issues saving a site as an template.
    This is the error we get in the event viewer:
    Exception information: 
        Exception type: InvalidOperationException 
        Exception message: Error saving solution to temporary file
       at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebAsSolution()
       at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebToGallery(SPWeb web, String solutionFileName, String title, String description, ExportMode exportMode, Boolean includeContent, String workflowTemplateName, String destinationListUrl, Action`1
    solutionPostProcessor, Boolean activateSolution)
       at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.SaveAsTemplatePage.BtnSaveAsTemplate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
       at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)
       at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
    I've looked everywhere for this error and all the sites point to a permission issue; I've check that already: it isn't. We've tried creating this template via PowerShell, C# command line application, SharePoint Designer and the savetmpl.aspx page at the
    site itself: no result; Yes, it is a publishing site, but that didn't stop us. We've created a site template from a different site and the publishing feature was also enabled there.
    Later this site really helped me into digging deeper into the logs: http://www.sharepointblogs.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2014/05/23/sharepoint-how-to-troubleshoot-issues-with-save-as-template.aspx
    The annoying part is: the folder that is being created by the web application pool user when saving the site as a template is totally empty!
    How can this be? Did I miss something? Could someone help me with this issue?
    Thanks in advanced!
    With kind regards,
    M. Hekman

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Error saving solution to temporary file”  when you tried to save a publishing site as a template.
    For your issue, please make sure you have set the SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled property of your publishing site to true. You can refer to the PowerShell script as below:
    # Get a reference to the target site
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://Intranet.SWRanger.com/Publishing
    # Update the property bage value and set it to the string value "true"
    $web.AllProperties["SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled"] = "true"
    # Commit the property change to server
    $web.Update()

  • Cannot save Workflow as a plug-in

    I am trying to create the simplest of workflows. I want to copy images from a webpage and save them. I have created the workflow exampled on the automator.us website, but I am not able to save the workflow as a plug-in. I select "Save As Plug In", name the workflow, select "Scripts Menu", click the Save and nothing happens. I look in the User Scripts folder and it is not there. Spotlight shows it is not anywhere on my computer.
    Any ideas?

  • Import Workflow from Site-Template to Visual Studio 2012

     
    Hi,
    I would like to import a SiteCollection Template into VS 2012 to create a sandboxed solution WSP Deployment Package.
    The Package should contain some document libraries, some content types and a reusable workflow running in one of the imported content types.
    So when I create the package and deploy it on a new sitecollection, all libraries and content types has been created.
    The only problem is that under "site setting"->Site Content Types"->"My ContentType"->"Workflow Settings" there is no workflow, like it was in the original sitecollection.
    When I then use Designer 2013 I see the old workflow. I can make a copy there and publish it again, then I can bind it to my content type.
    What do I have to import from the template / or change in my VS project to bind the workflow automaticly at deployment time.
    Thanks a lot
    Stephan

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about save site as template with the workflow.
    Did you do some customization for the wsp template in the VS?
    By default, when we save a site as a template, then the workflow attached with list or content type would be preserved.
    You can save a site as template, and use the template to create a new site directly to check whether the workflow preserved in the site.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • How to resolve this error - "Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make.."

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I am trying to organize some album artwork within a pre-designed template and I keep getting this error when trying to save the file in the eps file format:
    Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area.
    All the art is within the bleed lines. The only transformation I did was rotating one of the pieces 180 degrees. I'm not exactly sure what it is referring to when illustrator says objects are going to completely fall off the drawing area.
    Your insights would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Chris

    Did you use Guides at all? From the View menu, choose Guides>Clear Guides. Then zoom way out and do a Select All and see if there any stray points near the borders of the artboard. Direct select them and delete. Then try your transformation.

  • I still cannot save edited clips Premiere 12 windows 7

    I still cannot save edited clips Premiere 12 windows 7

    Howlb
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
    What are the properties of these source media video clips?
    How are you trying to save the edited video clips
    a. Publish+Share/ and one of the choices there and then an export of the whole Timeline content
    or
    b. Trying to save the edited video clips in a project selectively as separate files saved to the computer hard drive. If so, please detail.
    Have you posted a recent thread on this topic here recently? With the recent major update of the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum it has been more difficult for me to go back and look for prior recent threads posted by the user.
    Please review, supply the necessary details, and then we can customize troubleshooting to address your Premiere Elements workflow issue.
    Thank you.

  • PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

    I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error.  I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
    has found an error and cannot save the file. 
    This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved.  The template has been used without error many, many times.
    I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
    Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
    Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
    Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
    Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
    In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
    Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

  • Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application.

    Hi,
    This is to report a wierd behavior when pages is auto saving documents.
    An error pops up  "Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application."
    Clicking "save anyways" seems to save the document OK, but still this is very anoying.
    Saving the document manually (from the menu) isn't showing any error message.
    Can someone help with a hint as of when this will be fixed or is there a workaround?
    Thank you in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Michel.
    Pages version 5.0.1 (1478) on OS X 10.9

    The phrase "by another application" makes it pretty clear that it is not Pages (or, in your case, Keynote).
    What seems to be happening is that between the time that Pages opens a document, or saves it and the next time that it attempts to save it, something updates the document's file on the hard drive. Pages, recognizing that the file contains changes for which it is not responsible, presents this alert so you can decide whether you want to overwrite those changes. The usual suspects are backup and synchronization applications, like iCloud, which may not recognize the "Open" flag on the file, but I think it can also be triggered by AppleScripts, Automator workflows and Services, if they perform a "Save" action on the file.

  • Prime 2.0 cannot save advanced filter

    Hello,
    We recently upgraded to PI 2.0 and we now cannot save our advanced filter slections.  If you go to operate - clients and users - show advanced filter, create a filter and save it.  I will filter the items but not save the filter in the pull down section like it used to in PI 1.3.
    Can anyone else confirm that this is happening to them?

    Hi Cedar,
    AFAIK , there is no way to import the OID template in the discovery settings. If it is  really a critical concern for you then you can discuss this will your accounts team to raise the Product Enhancement request for this feature.
    2.
    what you are doing right now by excluding the system OID of the devices like printer etc is the best way to handle this suituation though it is a tedious task
