Start a workflow for a list item that was created by someone else
What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user?
I have a SharePoint 2013 workflow (let's call it LSR Status Workflow) that is associated with a list (called
LSR List). When a user creates an item in the LSR List, it automatically starts the
LSR Status Workflow. That is what I wanted, but sometimes I make changes to the workflow (via SharePoint designer) and then I would want to terminate the existing workflows that are running and restart them.
When I try to start a workflow for anyone other than a list item that I created, I get the following error:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request: HTTP NotFound to https://publishing.web.company.com/sites/mysite/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbyid(guid'1f844b8f-19aa-4587-bcc2-dfb7085f36b5')/Items(31)

Then when the workflow is finally suspended after it keeps retrying, it reports the following error:
RequestorId: 8efc5304-f0a3-90f6-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled

If I created the list item, I can stop it and restart it without any problems, but this is not the case for list items created by someone else.
What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user? I am the owner of the SharePoint site and am able to make changes to permissions if needed.
You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

Need to edit a form that was created by someone else.
Hello, I have to edit a form that was created by someone else. I made numerous changes to the text and repositioned a lot of the items, and it appeared fine on my computer. However, when I open it on my PC and other systems, the fonts are substituting and I'm getting strange characters where I changed the text. I tried embedding the fonts with the Preflight embed fonts, but it is still messed up. My client is anxious...not sure what else to check. Any help would be appreciated!

How can I find and change a mask that was created by someone else?
I need to adapt a design to a billboard; it was originally created by our parent company's marketing. The billboard company just informed me that I need to incorporate a bleed area and the document does not have that.
I think it's using a mask on the items that will need to bleed, so I need to find the masking box and expand it to meet the bleed. But since I did not create this document, I have no idea how to find it and it's difficult to reach Marketing.
Is there an easy way to find the mask, or make it visible?Unlock all layers
Object >> unlock all
Select >> Object >> Clipping Masks
Object >> Clipping Mask >> Release
If you find there are no clipping masks, you can also mask using the tranparency palette. UYou basiclaly have on lemtn whcih is your art, adn some art on top whcih serves as the mask, you slect both then use the make mask command form the transprency palette.
Do a CMD Y to better analiyze how this is constructed, as without a screenshot we can only make a best guess as to what is going on. -
ECMA script for checking active workflows for an list item
Hi i am having more than 1 workflow associated with the list if there is any workflow that is active for an item then i need to prevent starting another workflow for the same item. I am using the following code to achieve the same. Can anyone please provide
me the ECMA object model equivalent for achieving the same.
//Check for any active workflows for the document
private void CheckForActiveWorkflows()
// Parameters 'List' and 'ID' will be null for site workflows.
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["List"]) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["ID"]))
this.workflowList = this.Web.Lists[new Guid(Request.Params["List"])];
this.workflowListItem = this.workflowList.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt32(Request.Params["ID"]));
SPWorkflowManager manager = this.Site.WorkflowManager;
SPWorkflowCollection workflowCollection = manager.GetItemActiveWorkflows(this.workflowListItem);
if (workflowCollection.Count > 0)
SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage("An workflow is already running for the document. Kindly complete it before starting a new workflow");
}Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use ECMA script to check active workflows for an list item.
You can use the Workflow web service "/_vti_bin/workflow.asmx"
- GetWorkflowDataForItem operation in particular.
Here is a great blog for you to take a look at:
http://jamestsai.net/Blog/post/Using-JavaScript-to-check-SharePoint-list-item-workflow-status-via-Web-Service.aspx
In addition, you can use
SPServices. For more information, please refer to:

SharePoint Online 2013 Workflows for one List stopped working after 07/08/2014
Our client host application in Office 365 SharePoint Online 2013, and we just found that all workflows for one list stopped working after 7, Aug 2014. It kept displaying pop-up message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start
the workflow." when manually start a workflow for this List.
Tested workflow for other list, there's no problem.

Workflow 2010 set list item permissions
I have a sharepoint 2013 list set up with two kinds of users (Approver and Employees) needing access:
Approvers - need full control on the list/site
Employees - can only have edit/read access to their own list item or entry
I'm using SPD 2013 with workflow 2010 platform, the workflow runs when approvers submits an entry (via people picker) for an employee. The part I'm having trouble with is granting
employees their permissions above when the item is created.
Following a web example, in the impersonation step I'm simply using add list item permissions action to grant the employees.
In another workflow I'm sending them notification to the edit form, but they can't access the link.
If I add the employees in one of the site's permissions group like visitors group then they can access the list but that would give them access to everything.
Hope I explained the issue well, please let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks in advance!Hi
That's not actually true, when you create a group in sharepoint you don't need to assign it any permissions, i.e.
you create a group called 'NewListViewers' and don't assign it any permissions to the site
you add members to this group (they have no permissions to the site or content within the site)
you then customise the permissions of a list and grant this new group whatever permission you want (presumably contribute), the group only has permission to the list. Add the approvers group with full control and your done.
As for having users read only own items, simply amend the advanced settings read access to be '<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ItemLevelSecuritySection_ctl09_RadReadSecurityOwn">Read items that were created by the user</label>', now
they can only view/edit their own items and approvers can see everything.

Failed to start workflow. The workflow cannot access the item that it has been applied to.
I have a quick question for you and it would be great if you can answer me on this.
I'm working through SharePoint Workflow issue (developed using Nintex) that started recently where people are getting workflow error and I don't see issues if I submit it myself. Current error. - "Failed to start workflow. The workflow cannot access
the item that it has been applied to."
I haven't made any major changes to Workflow except for changing email notification content and publishing it. My question is, do I need to publish the rest of the workflows too that are associated to the list after I publish changes of one workflow? Looks
like users have required permissions to submit the form. Please let me know how to get rid of this error.
smithHi Smithspd,
According to your description, my understanding is that your users got a workflow error, and the workflow is created by Nintex.
For SharePoint Designer workflow, once we do any change in a workflow, we need to re-publish the workflow.
For your issue, I suggest you re-publish the workflow, compare the result.
In addition, as your workflow is created by Nintex and this forum is for SharePoint Designer, I suggest you ask Nintex support or forum for better help. Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Wendy

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.
JackSki123Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

Starting a workflow for a PCR form
Hello,
We installed the MSS business package. I would like to know how to start a workflow for a PCR form (example: Request for Promotion). The workflow just needs to be simple one step approval from manager.
What configs are needed in SPRO or elsewhere?
Thanks,
Rob.HI,
You can use transaction QISRSCENARIO for that and the IMG path is below -->
Cross Application Components>Internet/Intranet Services>Internal serive request--> Define Scenarios.
Now Select the scenario and then click the display button.If you are using JSP in frontend then click the additonal data for scenario. Here you will find the WF.
Or you can call the WF in your custom program also.
Thanks & Regards,

NOT urgent. LOV that excludes list item that is already selected
I have a mutiple record block with a LOV item. I want the LOV to display only list items that have not been selected in the other records. The form do not commit after each record, so I cannot use a databse query to exclude the list items that have already been selected.
The only way I could think of is to go through the data block and build a LOV that excludes the list items that are in the records. This seems like a lot of work for a simple task.
Is there an easier way in doing this?
Any help will be appreciated.
- Clayton.Hello Clayton,
you don't need to commit. You could try to post your records to the database.
But make sure you do a rollback when the user doesn't want to commit.
This will release you from the 'hard work' ;-)

Hi Mike,
CRSE is an OEM Product and for use with a custom application they have written. Unfortunately we don't their reports or how they are connecting, it would appear they were originally built off a SQL and then set to a Dataset in the app or they could be adding the data source at runtime. Lots of variations and without access to the source code to see what they are doing not much we can help you with.
You need to contact the OEM Partner for help in resolving this and find out what you can and need to do to update your SP and work with their canned reports,
Thank you
