LINK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj163494(v=office.15)
ISSUE: Is that the SUBMIT Button is grayed out after saving initial proposal plan. Snapshot is attached.
I have checked in/out process along with this gone through re-executed the whole process same result occurred.
Suggestion/Help needed... 
REGARDS DANISH DANIE

Hi Danish, 
Its a common thing which users are experiencing.
When you create project from workflow click on Submit it take time for transition before transition it check all the condition which you have set for workflow stage. As per your screenshot it is waiting for details in PDP (Provide details of the proposed project) 
when you click on submit it push data into the database,sometimes it send e mails to stakeholder then it use exchange and take times to send e-mails and for transition too.
When you/user face this issue ask them to wait for some time or close the file then reopen. 
In the screen workflow is waiting for Project detail information in PDP that is why it is still in process and not going to next stage.

  • Help needed Regarding Project Server - 2013 Workflow

    Hi All,
    I am new to Project server 2013 Workflow, hence please help me regarding this. Pardon me if this question is too trivial. 
    I have created a project type associated with a workflow and my workflow is as follows :
    So I am not doing anything here, I am just testing the workflow as mentioned by technet site : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458865(v=office.15).aspx
    But it is mentioned that, after a minute or 2, the workflow state will change, also they have mentioned to press the Submit button.
    But in my case, the workflow is not moving to next stage [It just says 'The workflow is still processing - which never changes after hours] or I am getting the submit button (Submit button is disabled on the ribbon). Below is the state of my workflow :
    PS : I have made the user added to Portfolio managers group as well. But still I am having this same issue. 
    The Workflow manager is installed properly, and it is working fine in case of List workflow. I am facing the issue only wrt Site workflow for Project server 2013.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi Kiran,
    I am now facing issue while assigning a task to a person in the workflow.
    I am having a person named say 'John' , who is included in Project Manager as well as Portfolio Manager.
    And I am using a workflow as :
    Stage : Conceptual
    Assign a task to John (Task outcome to Variable: Outcome5 | Task ID to Variable: TaskID3 )
    Transition to stage
    Go to Approval
    But this is again giving issue as :
    Workflow Internal status : Cancelled
    Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have
    permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}
    PS : I have used the same Sharepoint admin account for 'Account Name' in ‘User Profile Sync' , Is this causing the issue? Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Shanky

    I've set up an event and published it, but it won't allow for registrations.  The SUBMIT button is grayed out.  Thoughts?

    The submit button is greyed out in case the registration page is being viewed in preview mode.
    Please check if the following string is present in the event registration URL:
    "preview=true"
    If it is present, please try by removing this string.

  • Project Server 2013 Workflow Task Permissions Breaking Inheritance and Causing Workflow to Cancel

    I have an on-premise instance of Project Server 2013 with a workflow that includes an
    Assigned Task to assign users to Approve or Reject a WF phase. The workflow successfully assigns the task and notifies the user of the task. However, after (or possibly just prior) the user Approves the task, the workflow is automatically
    cancelled. 
    By default, the WF Task List is set to inherit permissions. After Approving an item, it appears that the list permissions automatically breaks inheritance, causing the workflow to cancel. This occurs somewhat regularly after resetting permissions to inherit
    from the parent site. Although there are stretches where the issue doesn't occur. I'm not sure what's causing the list permissions to change. 
    This issue occurs in both our Dev and Prod environments. Has anyone experienced this issue with permissions breaking inheritance automatically?

    Hi Vic,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow was cancled when you created a workflow with Impersonation Step to break inheritance permissions.
    After breaking inheritance permissions, make sure the workflow initiator (the creator) still has least edit permission on the list.
    In addition, please check the workflow history list to find more information about this issue.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy

  • Submit button grayed out in Project server 2013 WorkFlow

    We published the Workflow in project server'13 through SharePoint desginer 2013 and we used the Microsoft sample workflow. after saving the project information Submit button is in disable mode. So can any body clarify this issue ?
    we tried  the re provisioned the PWA through the above article but still submit button is in grayed out mode.
    Please clarify me where i am wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Open your site in SharePoint Designer
    Expand the "Workflows" folder, and the folder containing the workflow you want to fix
    Right-click on the file that ends in "xoml.wfconfig.xml"
    Choose Open With -> SharePoint Designer (Open as XML)”
    Look for the “RulesVersion” attribute
    Change its value to “V1.0”
    Save the xml file
    If you modify the workflow again, you’ll have to change the “RulesVersion” attribute again before saving as an STP as changing the workflow increments this
    attribute value which has to be reset to "V1.0".

    Hope this will help you.

  • How to send previous stage of a project in project server 2013 workflow

    Hi
     I have taken three stages. First stage i have submitted fields it goes to second stage. Now on basis of condition if it fails the condition it should go to stage1.
     Can it be possible. If it possible pleas guide me. I am using Project server designer 2013.
    Thank You
    Vinay

    Vinay,
    What you are looking for is a State-Machine Workflow. In SharePoint 2013 Designer, the "Stages" model will allow you to do this. See my example below. However, if you workflow logic is overly complex,  Visual Studio might be a better tool to build the
    workflow.

    Check your User Profiles and make sure that the user's domain is correct. We've seen workflows suspend with 401 errors when the User Profile Service syncs with AD and pulls the wrong domain name - for
    example if your FQDN is corp.company.com and the user logs in with company\username, UPS might have corp\username instead. Hence a 401 error...
    Here is a link that includes the steps to fix this:

  • Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

    Hi All,
    i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
    a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage. 
    i don't know why this type of problem is occur. 
    FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
    it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
    project server 2013 online its giving error.
    so please help me to solve this type of issue.
    Thanks

    I am also experiencing issues with this.  After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
    RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)

    bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
    All other desired workflow actions work as expected.  Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
    workflow fails.
    What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
    not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
    Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

  • Project Server 2013 Work Flow

    Hi All,
    We planed to have as simple workflow for project, which will go through initiation, planning , execution and monitoring and closure. Is there any easy way to configure this or we need to develop the workflow using visual studio.
    Thanks in advance, taj

    Hi Taj,
    With PS2013, it is now possible to build workflow using SharePoint Designer that requires less/no code than with Visual Studio with PS2010.

  • How to get timesheet information in a javascript (Project Server 2013)

    Hi all,
    In Project Server 2013, I'm trying to customize the Timesheet ribbon. This far, I've been able to add a new button and tie an event to it. All is working well. This is all done using elements.xml and a javascripts.
    Now the problem is that I want to get some informations about the timesheet (the Guid for example) and, for now, I've got no success. I know that there is an object called PS.TimeSheet, but when I try to use some PS.TimeSheet's methods I get an error.
    Note that i'm in the page http://servername/pwa/timesheet.aspx (there is not Guid in the address) and all the treatments should be done in the javascript (no call to another aspx page)
    Thanks !

    Finally, I've found the solution.
    My goal was to add a button in the timesheet ribbon to launch a special report showing some data about the timesheet. The report has the timesheet Guid as parameter.
    To customize the Sharepoint ribbon, you have to do it via an xml file and a javascript (a lot of explanation is available in the internet that explains how to do it). So I had to call a function in the javascript to launch the report (which is a SSRS report).
    When you are in a javascript you have access to many global variables. When the timesheet.aspx is displayed, there is a global variable called "timesheetComponent".
    Using this variable we can call the method :
    timesheetComponent.m_consumedApi.get_Impl()
    to get an implementation of the current timesheet. This implementation has an attibute that has a lot of nice stuff about the current user and the current time sheet. This attribute is 
    _headerInfo
    _headerInfo is a structure that includes tsUid which contains the timesheet Guid I was looking for.
    Finally, the function attached to the button goes like this :
    function _LaunchReport() {
    var tsUId;
    var rptPath;
    var tsImpl = timesheetComponent.m_consumedApi.get_Impl();
    try
    if (CONST_REPORT_PATH == null || CONST_REPORT_PATH == "" ) {
    alert("Constant CONST_REPORT_PATH is not defined")
    else {
    tsUId = tsImpl._headerInfo.tsUid;
    rptPath = CONST_REPORT_PATH + 'TimesheetDetails&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false&TimesheetUID=' + tsUId;
    window.open(rptPath);
    catch (Err) {
    alert(Err)
    CONST_REPORT_PATH is the path to SSRS defined elsewhere
    I hope this will help some other poeple !
