Missing Editor for Cancel Email in Start a Task Process object

I'm using SPD 2013 and the 'Start a task process' object in a list workflow. I've successfully modified the Task Creation email, but when someone completes the task, others in the group receive the default task cancelled email and I cannot find an
editor to modify the cancel email.
I can go to properties to view the CancelationEmailbody field, but there is no way to add or change lookup fields.
Thanks,
KJ727

Hi,
As I understand, you are using SharePoint designer worfklow on 2013 platform and you would like to edit cancelation email body for task process.
From my experience, there is no OOB option for you to edit cancelation email body. Since workflow 2013 is different from 2010, task forms are auto-generated based upon a certain Content Type. As workaround, I'd recommend you using approval workflow on 2010
platform. In addition, you could try codeplex 2013 approval workflow, please check the link below:

Start a Task Process assigns tasks in the reverse order

Hello,
I am using SPD2013 and Sharepoint 2013 Online.
I am using 'Start a Task Process' using people from the Person or Group Lookup column that allows multiple selections.
For some reason, the 'Start a Task Process' action assigns the participants in the reverse order. I am currently assigning the participants using...
'Workflow Lookup for a User'
Data Source: Current Item
Field from Source: the Person/Group Lookup
Return Field as: Display Name; Semicolon Delimited.
The problem is not isolated to just one workflow, but all workflows in the sharepoint site. I tried deleting the workflow and remaking it but I am still having the same problem.
The tasks are assigned as expected if I don't use 'Workflow lookup for a User."
Has anyone run into this issue before? Thanks for all of your help.

Hi CalvinKwon,
How did you set the participants when the workflow work as expect? Set users one by one?
Are you using “Serial(one at a time)” or “Parallel(all at once)” for assigning tasks?
I did a test and found that:
If I used “Serial(one at a time)” , the order of assigning task is random regardless of using “'Workflow lookup for a User” or one by one.
If I used “Parallel(all at once)”, the order of assigning task is right regardless of using “'Workflow lookup for a User” or one by one.
I could not reproduce this issue on my SharePoint On-premise, it seems to only happen on SharePoint Online.
Please test with “Start Approval Process” action using SharePoint 2010 platform.
And as this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly
can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Start a Task Process Action in SPD 2013 does not expand SharePoint Groups

I created a site workflow in SPD 2013, and added a "start a task process". I specified that the participants would be a group, the tasks would be created in parallel and "Assign a task to each member with groups" is checked.
I did check after the fact that "ExpandGroup" is "Yes" in the properties.
However, when executed, the group gets assigned a task, not individual users within the group.
I have seen other postings where others have the same issue, but no resolutions besides MS is investigating. Is this some issue with my setup? I have tried this in multiple environments with the same results.

Hi wangsy101,
According to your description, you create a workflow with “Start a task process” in SharePoint 2013 Designer, and the participants was a group, and you had make sure that the “ExpandGroup” was “Yes”. However, when executed, the workflow didn’t assign
the task to individual users within the group.
I reproduced the process, and in my testing , everything worked well.
When you start the workflow and view the workflow, you will see the Assigned to field is the group. And when you open the related tasks, you will note that there are some new tasks related to individual users within the group. It means that the “ExpandGroup”
works correctly.
If the issue still exists, please create an approval workflow with SharePoint 2010 Designer platform, and set the same configuration to test.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Update of software for iPad was interrupted and the iPad is now locked up. Any ideas for how to re-start the update process?

Hi all,
I was updating the software on my iPad2 and while trying to multitask stopped the update process. My iPad is now locked up and unresponsive. Does anyone have ideas about how to re-load the update?

You will need to hold down the power + sleep button, wait for restart, then hold home. iTunes should then be in DFU mode. Once in DFU mode connect to iTunes and click "Restore". PRESTO!

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

How to assign default values to "Start task process" SPD2013 action

I am creating a task in SPD 2013 list workflow using the "Start a task process" action. I have the ContentTypeId field set as i need to have some specific fields to be displayed in the task form.
Is there anyway to assign values to these fields?. My goal here is to fetch some values from the "currentItem" fields and display in the Task form during the approval. So that the Approvar don't need to go and see the actual list item.

Hi,
If you would like to display fields about current item in Task form, please click
these user in Workflow, and
Start a Task Process dialog pops out. Then click Open editor for body >
Add or Change Look up, then you could retrieve field data.

Send 'Reason for Rejection' from Task Process back to User

I have a SharePoint 2013 workflow that uses "Start a task process" to get approval for documents in a library. On the task list, I have a field named 'reason for rejection' that the approvers would complete if they're going to reject the document.
When the document is rejected the workflow sends an email back to the person who created the document. Is it possible to somehow include the reason for rejection in the email? If not, is there some other solution for getting this information back to
them (other than just saying to contact the approvers)?

Hi Andrea_2,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want the email which is sent by workflow after the document is rejected to contain the field "reason for rejection".
Instead of adding the field into the email which is sent after the document is rejected, I suggest you add an "Send email" action when a single task is rejected, and make the mail is sent to the creator of the document.
You can do as the followings:
Open the workflow with SharePoint Designer 2013.
Open and edit the workflow, then click "Approval(**)".
Click "Change the behavior of a single task"
In the "When a task completes" scetion, add a "Send email" action in the ELSE IF branch, like the screenshot below:

Want to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it will only start in Orgaizer, can't get to welcome screen and the .exe file that Adobe said to look for does not exist on my files

Have tried to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it continues to start in Organizer. I do not want my pictures loaded in Organizer at all. Saw a page on the web that said to click on an .exe editor file but that is not on my files. Also cannot get a welcome screen to come up, only an organizer even though I checked it the first time to come up in photo editor. I'm now having Organizer crammed down my throat. Tried online chat but was cut off with the statement that no support is offered for v12 any longer.

Hi,
You failed to say which operating system you are running on so I'm assuming it is Windows of some type.
You should be able to find the following files, using explorer, depending on your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Double clicking on that should start the editor - suggest to create a shortcut to it.
If you can't find one of those files, then you either installed it somewhere else or you need to re-install elements.

I have a 3g iphone and just now started getting a pop up from icloud to enter password for my email and face time? How do i stop this

i have a 3g iphone. I dowloaded Icloud months ago. I have just today started getting popups on my phone to ...Sign in to ICloud... Enter the apple ID password for "my email address that i use on my iphone".
Is this a virus? And how do i stop this madness.

How did you download iCloud with an iPhone 3G?
Accessing an iCloud account is not supported with an iPhone 3G.
There are no viruses that affect or infect iOS, unless you have purposely jailbroken/hacked your iPhone which removes all built in security included with iOS allowing you to download unofficial apps from unknown and untrusted sources which can include malware.
Don't remember where you access your Apple ID with the App Store with iOS 4 which is the latest version for an iPhone 3G, but have you checked there? If so, try logging out of your Apple ID followed by logging back in with the iTunes App Store.

Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

Hi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

That's not a good sign if it said it was going to send it to an email address you've never heard of. Contact iTunes Support and let them know this: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend Emacs but it has a long learning curve so something like TextWrangler will work too.
As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
good luck
