On a list item which runs first workflow or event receiver?

I have a list where workflow and event receiver is attached
event handler fires on item updated and added and workflow fires for updating the item or so.
Kindly let me know how the priority goes to each technically
how sharepoint handling this internally
 very much thanks in advance.
sudhanshu sharma Do good and cast it into river :)

After events (ItemAdded and ItemUpdated) are asynchronous by default and run after the item is added/updated and you can’t tell exactly when it’s done. It's possible the workflow will start before the after event is done.
If you need the workflow to run after the event receiver you can try option 1 below or go with option 2.:
Make the after events synchronous (SharePoint 2010 and up) (link)
Set the workflow to be started manually and in the event receiver’s code start the workflow (link)

  • Create List Item using SharePoint 2010 Workflow

    Hello everyone.
    I found in youtube video using SP Employee Onboarding Web Part, idea is quite simple and powerful. But this web part available only in SP 2013, and I use 2010. So I wanted to develop my own version.
    Questions is:
    I have 2 lists Employee OnBoards (list contains data about new employee) and Employee OnBoards Tasks (list contains approval task). Where field Employee Name from Employee OnBoards list is lookup field in Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
    I need emplement next:
    When new Item created in Employee OnBoards list, it should copy Employee Name value to the Name field of the Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
    I hope I explained understandable.
    Thanks.

    Hi Azamat,
    This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
    Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
    OnBoards.
    then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.
    Below link will help you how to use copy list item action in a workflow.

  • Auto-included link to list item not working in Workflow or email notification

    I made a workflow straight from my SharePoint site--NOT from SharePoint Designer. (My computer is still running on Windows XP, so I can't download Designer until my boss upgrades me to a newer system.) When creating the workflow, you have the option to include
    a link to the list item by clicking a checkbox. The links don't work in either the email notification or in the workflow properties. Extra characters are being added for some weird reason. (For example, the correct link looks like "https://www.w14b.comcast.net/sites/<yada
    yada>.docx" and the links in the workflow and email look like "http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/<yada yada>.docx")  I see no place to edit the URL. How do I fix the links???

    Hi,
    Please check if the http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/ is the url of default zone of the web application where this site resides.

  • How to update a list item through Sharepoint Designer Workflow?

    Hi,
    I have a created a list, in which "Completion date" column is there.
    Now I want to update column "Completion Date" through SPD, specifies value(date) after 10 days of created date of a record in list.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You can use the "Build Dynamic String" action to convert the date field to a string,
    And use string comparison to determine if the date is blank

  • How to again add workflow to workflow completed list item?

    Hi All,
    How to again add workflow to workflow completed list item?Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description,my understanding is you want to add a new workflow to the completed list item.
    a) If yes, then you need to follow the same process attaching the workflow to the list/library and while deploying the workflow you should  select  the option "Allow this workflow to be manually started.......".
    Go to the workflow completed list item  and start the workflow which was created newly in the above step.
    b) If your query is want to restart the same workflow for completed list item then,
    You need to go to the workflow completed list item-->workflows-->start/click on  the workflow again.
    To do this, you might have selected the option "Allow this workflow to be manually started......." while attaching the workflow to the list.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ******************************************************************************************

  • Large list items are not crawling

    Recently we have migrated SharePoint 2007 application to SharePoint 2013. In that we are having a list which contains 40000+ items and each item have unique permissions set based on the business requirement.
    After migration, we have ran full crawl on the web application. After the crawl, the list items are not crawled and displayed in the search results. When checked in the crawl log, there is no entry related to the list items.
    Based on suggestions from the blog and microsoft we have changed the FilterProcessMemoryQuota and DedicatedFilterProcessMemoryQuota to 500 MB from 100 MB.
    Still, the items are not crawled. Later we have modified some of the items in the list and ran the incremental crawl. The list items which are modified are crawled and available in the search results.
    We have scheduled the incremental crawl to run on every night and full crawl to run every week end (saturday) night. What happened is the incremental crawl that run after full crawl deletes all the items which are modified and crawled before the full crawl
    with a message "Deleted by the gatherer ( This item was deleted because its parent was deleted. )". This happens only with the incremental crawl run after the full crawl, but the subsequent incremental crawls add the items to the
    search results until full crawl run.
    Please advise on this.
    Ramkumar

    40k items with individual permissions? That's going to have significant performance impact across your content database and is getting close to the hard limit(?) of 50k scopes per list http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg128955(v=office.15).aspx
    Having said that...
    Your full crawl is picking up the items but the first incremental crawl is subsequently deleting them. Are you really using Incremental crawl or is this continuous crawling? Are all list items being deleted or merely some of them?
    I'd normally put this down to the crawler not being able to identify the items, which may be the case here, but this sounds a little more interesting.

  • Termstore changes are not getting reflected in the list items in SharePoint 2010 farm environment

    Hi,
    I had created managed metadata with termstores from central admin. Then I had created one list in which added a column of type managed metadata using the managed metadata which I had created. And also added few list items to this list.
    The problem is that after updating a termstore the changes are not reflecting in the list items which were added before the update.
    I have referred the following links:
    http://www.paulgrimley.com/2011/02/managed-metadata-changes-not-applied-to.html
    http://davidfrette.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/taxonomy-update-scheduler%C2%A0timer%C2%A0job/
    According to the links we need to run Taxonomy Update Scheduler on the server for updated termstore to get reflected. After running
    this scheduler on development environment changes are getting reflected but not working on the production environment.
    Kindly help!
    Regards, Shruti

    You should check the obvious.  You made the change in dev, but did you make the change in production too?  And, is the term you updated, actually the one that you are looking at in the list item?
    There is not much, if anything, that can go wrong with that timer job. so I'd guess that the term you are looking at is not the one you think you are updating.
    If you have double checked everything (the term is is in fact the same term id), then you may have something erroring in the update process.  In this case, you should check the ULS logs for any errors.

    or
    add_list_element('list34',1, 'Name',:emp.txtname);

    noen of them is working, whether i try adding a string or the value in a text item.
    please help.

    It gives any error or just does nothing?
    Have you tried making another simple form with just one block and one or two items?
    You can do this type of testing in these conditions.

    Hi Sarah,
    Thanks for your reply.
    There is no issue in the population of the list item; it is working fine with the query which i have pasted.
    My doubt is:
    There are few places where i have set the code_flag as 'Y' / 'N'.
    For the first time when user selects the list item; all the values should be shown.....
    If user has selected the first list item i.e Customs Reference 01 for which the code_flag is 'N' from a multi-record block; then when he moves to the further lines the previous selection for which the flag is set as 'N' should not be shown(if user has already selected once) e.g; 'Customs Reference 01' should not be shown again if user has made the selection before.
    Plz revert incase more explanations required.
    Thanks...

  • Send Sharepoint list items in Office365 Outlook to external mailing list

    Hello everyone
    I'd like to be able to send a 'weekly update' mail to a mailing list with external email addresses from within Office365 Outlook. The mail should consist of list items (conditional, not exceeding a certain date in history) coming from a Sharepoint (in Office365)
    teamsite. So these should be 'exported' from Sharepoint to a new Office365 Outlook message (and f.e. be temporarely saved as a draft). It'd also be nice if we could add extra text and/or images to the new message before it's being sent.
    A second question: is it possible to send a mail to all Office365 users who have access to a certain subsite whenever something on that subsite is created? F.e. a new document is uploaded, a new Discussion is launched, ... Some sort of automatic notification
    system once something on the subsite is created. It is imperative that users don't have to set these automatic notifications (or alerts) manually but they're being done for everyone, even if it's a new account.
    Regards
    Robin

    Hi Robin,
    Workflow is associated with single item, and changes made to a item will trigger your workflow, hence selecting multiple list and activating the workflow would be a challenge.
    Pre SharePoint 2013 we had big challenge in looping through the entire list items which was one of the most sought after feature in workflow. However, SP 2013 offers a way to loop through the items now.
    I think you can leverage this to get your workflow done.
    Here are some references to start with -

    okk..well still i don't know the purpose of the form on which you are working why not the database block for emp?..but the requirement you are asking can be done through following code...
    Trigger - WHEN-LIST-CHANGED
    DECLARE
      CURSOR F_Cur IS
        SELECT ename
        FROM emp
        WHERE deptno = :list_item_name;
    BEGIN
      GO_BLOCK('BLOCK3');
      FIRST_RECORD;
      CLEAR_BLOCK;
      FOR G_CUR IN F_CUR LOOP
        :block3.item_name:=G_CUR.ename;
        NEXT_RECORD;
      END LOOP;
      FIRST_RECORD;
    END;
    Note: in the BLOCK3 there should be one item navigable by cursor. I mean if block3 is having only one item which is name item and it is display item then GO_BLOCK built-in will not work. So, you will need to create one more in block3 or make that name item as text item and set update_allowed to NO from the items' property.
