Routing documents using SharePoint Online workflows

Hello,
I am trying to design a workflow for SharePoint Online, but have run into a few problems. Basically I need the workflow to work as follows:
1. User submits a document (which is already in a Document Library in SharePoint) to a designated Supervisor for Approval
2. Supervisor receives an email that a document is ready for approval. After reviewing:
a. If Supervisor rejects, the document remains in the original folder
b. If Supervisor approves, the document is automatically moved to a new folder named "Approved" within that same Document Library
I thought there would be a template in SharePoint Online that would offer these features (i.e. the Publishing Approval workflow template I am currently trying to use), but I can't seem to enable an option to have the file automatically directed to an
Approved folder. I have been reading online for the last hour or so and this seems to be possibly using Visual Studios, but I currently do not have that application. Are there any other options available?
Please note - each user has their own "Approval" folder. So, if possible, I would need to apply this as a template to each user and specify the path of the Approval workflow for each user.
I really appreciate any suggestions or advice you could provide.

Hi,
You can create a SharePoint Designer approval workflow to achieve this requirement. In the workflow, on approval, add a step to copy the file to your target location. The following link demonstrates the use of Copy functionality in SharePoint Designer
2013.

Can I use Visual Studio to develop Sharepoint Online workflows on existing site lists?

I've been using Sharepoint Designer to develop workflows in Sharepoint 2013 on Office 365, but hitting limitations. I would like, for example, to be able to trigger a workflow when a list item is deleted.
Perhaps naively I thought Visual Studio should be able to help. I've read of useful things like Remote Event Receivers - sounds exactly what I need. I've used VS before for Windows desktop applications in VB, so downloaded a trial version of VS 2013.
Now I'm having doubts. It looks like I can create a Sharepoint App on a development site and create lists and workflows within it, but I can't access my existing lists to do anything more sophisticated than I already can in SPD. Is that right?
I was expecting to be able to enter my Sharepoint site URL into Visual Studio somewhere, just like in SPD, and do wonderful things with my lists - but unless I'm missing something, that's not possible.
Have I just got it completely wrong??!

yes you can check those links

SharePoint 2013 Workflow created on SharePoint Designer gets canceled

Just wanted to share my solution to a problem that I was having when creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow that includes creating a task and assigning it to a group of people. After publishing the workflow and initiating it you get:

2. Clear the SharePoint Designer cache

SharePoint Online workflow not starting

Hi All,
I am an administrator for a company and I have been asked to create a workflow for them.
I created 2 workflows using SharePoint designer 2013. The 2010 workflow works as expected.
I created the 2013 workflow because I can use loops. However the 2013 workflow doesn't automatically start when an item is created. but works if I start it manually. I have checked and made sure that the check box is ticked for the workflow to start automatically.
The workflows go like this.
Step: Query Type
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Phone
  Set Status to Opportunity
Else
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Email
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes
  If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
Step: Rental or Not
If Current Item:Rental equals Yes
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
  If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Else
  If Current Item:Rental equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
   Pause until Current Item:Date to Send Quote
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
And the 2013 one goes like this
Stage:Follow Up
Loop: Email to manager
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
If Current Item:Follow_Up equals Yes
  Set Status to Opportunity
Transition to stage
Go to Rental or Not
Stage:Rental or Not
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 2 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 7 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   and Current Item:Date to Send Quote is greater than Current Item:Date to Send Quote
    Email Current Item:Manager
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
If this makes sense? If not can anybody give me advice on how to get this working the way it is expected to work?

Hi,
From your description, After you modified the workflow and added "App Step" to it and "Pause" actions apart from few other modifications, you got the issue that
SharePoint 2013 Workflow not starting when a new item is crated.
Whether you got the issue Before you modified the workflow.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and it works fine.
I suggest you update SharePoint to the latest CU.
Here is an blog similar with your issue, you can use as a reference:

SharePoint Online workflows show server error when link is clicked. Cannot terminate them.

This is for SharePoint Online. I have a number of workflows on a list that are in a 'suspended' state when I navigate to the workflows page for the item. When I click the link to view the workflow, I get a server error. I need to terminate these workflows.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to terminate these workflows in SharePoint online.
You can terminate these workflows by the CSOM implementation through passing the ID of the list and list item.
You can refer to the code snippets below.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);
There is a similar case:

Cannot connect to SharePoint online to create SharePoint App in Visual Studio 2013

I have an Office 365 account and I am trying to create a SharePoint App via Visual Studio 2013 Here are the steps:
1. Open VS 2013 and select Office/SharePoint > App for SharePoint (type the name) then click OK
2. I type in URL of the site (of course https://) and Select SharePoint-Hostedoption, then click Finish
3. I get the Office 365 authentication dialog box.
I type in the username and password and it opens the SharePoint in the same rectangular dialog box and it stays there and nothing happens:

Using an Email Alias in a SharePoint 2013 Workflow created in Designer

Hello,
I would like to use an email alias for a workflow that was created in Designer, I don't want the workflow email address to look like it was sent from the system or myself I'd like to use an email address our generic email address that our department uses.
I cannot see a way to do this. All the email address we are trying to use are in our AD and are active. Here is an example of what I am trying to do...
We’re going to be using a few forms I’ve created on SharePoint so that colleagues may submit requests for additional resources for virtual environments. In order for us to track the requests I’d like them to be dumped into the LT-Infrastructure
board inside of ConnectWise, and the best method to do that would be via email. Is it possible to have the email come out on a different address? (ex.
[email protected]) After configuring the workflow and sending out a test I realized that its coming from
[email protected](which I assume replied to you).
Thank you in advance for your help.

Change Email Sender[Site Name] of Sharepoint Online Workflow

Is there any way to change the name of the Sender to List name rather than Site Name of a workflow that sends email?
Please see screenshots below for guidance.
The email from the workflow shows that the email came from ISO Manuals, but I want to change it to the list name sample EMS Manuals which the item is located and the workflow is running through that particular list item.
Site Name - ISO Manuals
Lists Name - EMS Manuals
Engineering Manuals
Agri Manuals
This is the sample email generated from Workflow.
Please help.

Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs SharePoint On-Premise

Hi Expert,
I have the question about Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs ShrePoint On-Premise
Current Problem : Customer is implemented Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online but they have a problem some features that didn’t work in SharePoint Online. I will have a meeting to discuss Do and Don’t Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online compare SharePoint
On-Premise.
Please suggestion.
Thank you

Hi MasterBird,
For SharePoint 2013 On-premise, we can :
Comlete control of our environment and data
Supports heavy customization
Keep sensitive information in-house
Easier integration into line of business systems
Full development options for developers
For SharePoint Online workflow:
Workflow 2010 & 2013 are available with Standard and Enterprise Editions without having to install
If using Windows Azure workflow functionality is the same as 2013
Cannot create custom Visual Studio workflows
For InfoPath Form Services you will need Office 365 Enterprise Could Edition or SharePoint Online Plan 2

Sharepoint Online Moving/Copying a Dev Site to a More Permanent Site

Hi everyone. I built a SharePoint online Workflow with forms etc within a Dev site collection. Now that it is working properly the way we'd like, I need to put it on a more permanent Site Collection. I am having trouble figuring out the proper way to do
this. My searches come up with some instruction that don't exactly match up to our site configuration settings so I am reluctant to actually try it as I'm afraid of wrecking something I've already built. Any tips or links to a good instructional forum or site
would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Hi sragen,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy a workflow from a Dev site collection to other site collection in SharePoint Online.
If the workflow is a reusable workflow, you can save the workflow as template in SharePoint 2013 Designer, download it, then upload the workflow template into other site collections as a solution, and activate it.
Or, you can use a third party tool to do it, like:

WorkflowHistory List ID and Primary Item ID is null - VS /SharePoint App Workflow

This is very puzzling. I have WriteToHistory activity (OOTB) in my SharePoint State Workflow. When source list gets updated, workflow fires and first activity is called is WriteToHistory
activity.
In the workflowhistorylist list , I don't see List ID, Primary Item ID populated (I do see workflow history parent instance, association ID, user id,
date occurred,Description are populated). BTW, workflow template ID, event type, group type, outcome , duration and data are also empty - I don't want it for my solution so I don't care for now).
Has anyone seen this ? Any help or pointers?
Thank you so much.
DT

Hi,
If you use SharePoint designer workflow create a SharePoint 2013 workflow, the List ID and Primay Item ID in workflow history list also is null. I'm not find a official document to explain this things.
If you want to dubug in visual studio workflow, we can use the following debugging techniques:
1. Setting breakpoints
2. Sending debug messages to the console
3. Monitoring traffic between SharePoint and Workflow Manager with Fiddler
We can customize a workflow action to achieve your requirement.

Unable to Create Workflows with either SharePoint Designer 2010 or 2013 to our SharePoint Online Service

Hey there
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on our current issue using SharePoint Online (hope this question is in the correct place)
We are using SharePoint Online and I believe we are using the SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU - which I believe is the A2 Free plan.
I have being trying to get my head around the new changes (as we currently run a standalone 2010 deployment) and decided to see what workflow options I had. I had read to use SharePoint Designer 2013 with the online service and after installation opened
the package, connected to the site and tried to create a simple email workflow. I first saw a loading screen stating
"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Activities, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=731bf3856ad364e35.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
after this it tried loading some metadata and then I saw:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
I close SPD down and rebooted and then same happened again and continues too.
After research I applied a hotfix that was known to resolve the issue, but it still remains. I also tried running SPD in admin mode but the same still happens.
Lastly I tried selecting workflows 2010 from the drop down field when creating the workflow to see what happened. I go the same. I also keep getting the following as a pop from time to time.
The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information.
I have also tried to do the same in SharePoint Designer 2010, but receive the same massages.
What should I be looking at or doing to help rectify this?
Regards
RDH

uninstalled Language Pack and it worked!
Uninstalling the Preview and installing SharePoint Designer 2013 resolved the error.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/74327.aspx
According to the link as linle provided, there are two deletions in local, please double check these two places:
1.Delete all folders in the following directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache\
2.Delete the files in all folders in this directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\ (don’t delete the folders, just delete the contents of the folders)
Then, try to create a new workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 to see if it works.
You can first keep the list for the current status, and save it as a template which will be used to create another list.
1.Login and locate the associated list on your SharePoint Online.
2.Click List Settings under List tab, and click Save list as template.
3.Type a File name, Template name, select Include Content, and click OK. Click OK.
4.Click Site Actions->More Options->List.
5.Locate and click the newly saved template, type a name, and click Create.
Then, create a workflow in your SharePoint Designer 2010 associated to the new list to see if it works.
Moreover, please check if there are any maintenances on your SharePoint Online which may cause the issue.
1.Login to Office 365 Portal (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/).
2.Click Service Health in the left pane of Admin page.
3.Check the status of SharePoint Online

Hi Christoph,
From the article you mentioned, it needs add JPG file type to Search Service Application, which was not supported for SharePoint online.
I tried to add Picture content type to normal document library and tested the issue, it still displayed as item in Search results.
However, if I created a Picture Library and add Document content type to it, both image and document can be previewed in search result.

How to create a site template with subsites on SharePoint Online (2013, wave 15)

I need to create a site template of a site that contains 4 subsites.
I have tried saving the parent site as a "site template", but when i create a new site based on this template, I don't get any of the subsites created.
Anyone knows why the subsites are not included in the template?
Thank you!
José

That is by design. Site templates are a template for a specific site within a site collection and never include sub-sites. In an On-premises environment you could create a Portal Site Template, but this won't work in SharePoint Online. To
build something equivalent in SharePoint online you would either need to use a Sandbox solution or custom client side code.
