Replace or change initiation form through sharepoint designer

Hi
I develop a 2013 workflow in SPD. And I need to create an initiation form with complex logic. So the "Initiation Form Parameters" is not enough for me. How can I set up custom initiation form from my workflow?
Thank you.

You didn't mentioned about details of complex logic with in initiation form. But always better option would be developing workflows using visual studio for custom initiation form where you have more control for customization compared to SharePoint designer.

How to add .js link in custom list form through sharepoint designer 2013

hi friends
so far i was adding jquery code to script editor webpart in custom list form.
but i need to know how to add .js link in custom list form through sharepoint designer 2013
please help me.

Hi,
We can add the "JS Link Property" in the “WebPart” node in the custom list form page through SharePoint designer 2013.
Here is an example for your reference:
<JSLink xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm">~site/Style Library/js/custom.js</JSLink>
Noticed that, we should not lose the 'xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm' attribute.

Add two attachment field in custom list through sharepoint designer 2013

Hi all,
I want to add two attachment columns to the SharePoint 2013 custom list through SharePoint Designer 2013 (not using ribbon attachment option) only . I managed to attach single attachment column to the attachment field. But I am not able to create second
field for attachment.
for example, one column for attaching address proof and second column for identity proof.
Any help would be appreciated.

Out of the box this simply isn't going to be possible the way you seem to want it. The attachment field does allow for multiple attachment, but I can see why you'd potentially want these separated out.
Alternative:
You could instead create a link field for each. Users load the documents into a document library and then copy the URL to paste into the form. If you potentially need multiple attachments for each, you can use an InfoPath form and a repeating table.

How do I add a field into an existing form in SharePoint Designer 2010 and...?

I'm trying to add an existing field to an existing form in SharePoint Designer 2010. It's a URL to the employee's photo. But each time I try to "Insert as picture" the url to the photo has a trailing comma. Why and more importantly, how do I get
rid of it?
Thanks!

Hi Renee,
No, you do not have to edit the form from the master page. Master pages do not have forms on them. They define the layout and look-n-feel of a Sharepoint Site.
You said you are adding new column to the list in SPD. Why not in the site itself and then edit the form.?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-using-sharepoint-designer-HA010378258.aspx
Also, check if you master page is checked in and published. If there is content approval on it, it should be approved.

Access denied for Association form and Initiation Form in SharePoint 2013 Workflows VS2012

Hi,
We created one simple Sharepoint 2013 approval workflow that has custom association and initiation forms. The workflows works when the workflow is created by the site owner. But when a user with edit permissions try to start a workflow
or associate a new workflow we get Access Denied error message. I believe this permission is somthing todo withthe workflow list wfsvc where these association form and initiation forms reside. What else could be missing here?how do i check permission on the
wfsvc list. please help. User also have create and edit permission on the workflow history and workflow task lists.
Thank you

If it works with Full control permission then there is something on the site which is causing this issue.
Try to collect HTTPwatch or fiddler trace to check more details.
Also You need to enable Verbose logging to check details. If possible paste the verbose logging in the comments.

Issue with inserting edit item form using sharepoint designer 2013

Hi,
I inserted an edit form of a custom list in a site page using sharepoint designer-2013. But it is giving error "no item exists".
I am using default ListItemId Parameter with ID query string and I passed the query string parameter to that page. But still the result is same. But if I give any default value, page is displaying fine for that specific item although I dont pass any querystring
to the page URL.
Can you please guide me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From your description, I know you get issue when you add “edit form” of custom list to a page.
I tried to reproduce your issue, and if I added “edit form” to page without “Advanced Mode”.
I add “edit form” to page with steps below:
Right click the page, click “Edit File in Advanced Mode”.
Find source with keywords [ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain"].
Choose INSERT tab in the Ribbon.
Click “Edit Item Form”, and choose the custom list that you want to add.
Save file, and go to the page.
The screenshot below is my result:

Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

I am running
Windows 7 64 bit
Access 2010 32 bit
Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

How do we send document from one group to other through sharepoint designer??

Hi SharePointers,
Looking for help..
Requirement: I have 3 groups 1.requestors 2. Approvers 3. Vendors.
In Requestor group, there are so many Requestors and every Requestor logged in to subsite and create a new document in the same DocHub. But No Requestor can see documents created by others. ie, Requestor can see his own documents not by others created.
How to implement this. Is UserProfile service useful here or any other?
Finally , when Requestor click on save button then I have to send the particular document to Approvers group for approve/rejection.
Can you please suggest me that how to send the document to others through Designer workflows.?
Note: Currently we are using ootb
Kindly show me the way to do this.
Many thanks in advance..

Hi Praveen,
By OOB option, we cannot send documents as attachment via workflow.
You could use document url as workaround or use code to achieve it:

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

Forms always marked as need update in Sharepoint designer 2010

Some of the automatically generated task forms in Sharepoint designer are marked 'needs update', when I open them in Infopath I get the dialog that says:
One or more fields in the workflow form have changed. InfoPath will now update the set of available fields. You may need to modify your form view to add or remove the updated fields.
Making a change and publishing it gives a 'publish sucessful' confirmation dialog but the modified date on the form in Sharepoint designer doesn't update and is still marked as needing an update even after I refresh it. Closing and reopening it gives an updated
modification date but the form is still marked as needing an update. What am I missing here?

Hi ,
I understand that some task forms in your workflow are marked ‘needs update ’even though you have published the changes in InfoPath designer . Can you have a test like this :Create a new workflow with the ‘Start Approval Process ’ action .Publish the workflow
.Then open the task form in InfoPath designer to see whether the ‘need update’ message will show up .
I have met this situation once ,after I restart SharePoint Designer and InfoPath .The problem solves .
Thanks,

Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

Hi,
i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
Here is a great article for your reference:
Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
However, every task can only have one task form.
That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
You can create different view for the approvors.
You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.

Create Custom list form and validate fields using sharepoint designer 2010

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a custom job application form which will be filled and submitted by anonymous users. I have a an option to create custom user control web part but I wanted to
create it using custom list form using SharePoint designer. My requirement is below
Date of birth (user age should be above 22yrs )
Email Validation
Phone validation
Resume attachment (should attach only word documents or PDF)
Qualification (If other is selected then show textbox else hide)
Can above validations be done using SharePoint designer (JavaScript or validation controls)? Or do I have to create custom control web part?
MercuryMan

Hello,
I think jquery/javascript can be used to put validations on those fields. Fortunately some of validation can be done via sharepoint itself like: email, phone, age. For Attachment and Qualification fields use jquery/JS.
See below link for column validations:

http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2011/12/how-to-validate-an-email-address-using-column-validation-in-sharepoint-2010/
See this for attachment:
