Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow.  There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created. 
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

  • Out of the box sharepoint online 2013 workflow

    Hi All,
    I have a workflow that sends a email to a user after creating a new document.
    Now a want to attach a document to this email but this is not possible with the out of the box SharePoint 2013 solution. I use the SP 2010 workflow because I need to send a email to an external user.
    Is there a solution that I can use to attach a document to a email in a workflow?

    Not possible out of the box. Just curious why would you want to email someone files over the email? I think the logical way is to simply send the item link. This will show user the item details and attachments.
    Anyways, If that's the way you want to do it then check the following codeplex solution out.
    http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
    I would still recommend you to send the current Item URL in the email instead of sending document as an attachment. 
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Setting up XServe out of the box for Video

    Our station just purchased an XServe RAID 1TB for storage of a documentary shot on HDCAM. I've connected the HDCAM deck to a Kona 3 breakout box and everything seems to work fine. I have the XServe connected by fiber channel, but not Ethernet.
    I open Disk Utility to set up a RAID and it won't let me "Create" it. The RAID Admin Utility doesn't show the XServe either.
    I waited a day for the XServe to finish its initial drive indexing (although there wasn't any pop-up or warning saying it was in the process of indexing drives).
    I am just a "video" guy...so I'm certain I am missing key information about setting up a RAID. Can anyone talk me through the set up? Does the Ethernet cable make a difference?
    The end use will be just to store video for this project. The XServe will not be networked until we add drives next year.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    I believe you're talking about Xserve RAID, not Xserve.
    The only way you can manage/monitor Xserve RAID is over Ethernet, using the RAID Admin application.
    At any rate, when you first plug in Xserve RAID it will do a surface scan of the disks -- this takes about 36 hours. The unit is usable during this time. You plug it in to the fibre channel card in your machine (G5? Must be if you got a PCI-Express Kona 3 card in there), and go to Disk Utility, and you should see a big volume (actually, when you boot you should get a "you have inserted a volume that OS X cannot read... format it?" dialog). From there you can initialize it... it will be ~700 GB in size (a 1 TB XSR comes set up as RAID 5 from Apple which loses 250 GB of space to parity, and thus it's about 700 GB). No need to do RAID in Disk Utility... the RAID is done in hardware inside the Xserve RAID itself.
    So format it, and then just treat it like a very big firewire hard drive. The RAID with 4 drives cannot handle uncompressed SD, but you should be able to capture HDV or DVDPRO HD or uncompressed SD to it. If you want to capture uncompressed HD you need 14 drives in the RAID for the bandwidth.

  • Error in Master Data Out-of-the-box Scenario Customer

    Hi Experts,
    I set up a normal out of the box scenario of master data that is supposed to sincronize just Customers, but when I create a supplier It also creates it in my subsidiary company.
    I read the documentation Config_Guide_SAP_Business_One_Master_Data_Distribution_EN.pdf and it´s clear when it said that this scenario is only for Customers. Even in the appendix the card type it´s supposed to be mapped with the fix value cCustomer.
    I checked the xsl file and the cardtype is also mapped as it comes from the sender so I do not understand exactly what it does.
    I continued with my testing and when trying to update any field in a supplier an error appears.
    So, if it´s only for customers why does it create the suppliers?
    and if suppliers are also sincronized why cannot update any field?
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Hi experts,
    I found the field that caused the error when updating suppliers. This field is
    <OtherReceivablePayable>
    <xsl:value-of select="BO/BusinessPartners/row/OtherReceivablePayable"/>
    </OtherReceivablePayable>
    If this field is not mapped the scenario works ok for suppliers also.
    I do not understand why in the documentation this scenario is supposed to be just for customers because is for all IC.
    I suppose is an error but if someone could confirm it would be perfect.
    Thanks anyway,
    David

  • Why Java Web Start doesn't support Pack200 out-of-the-box?

    Hello All,
    Why Java Web Start doesn't support Pack200 out-of-the-box? I was hoping that Java 6 would make things easier by adding direct support for Pack200 in Java Web Start and JNLP without needing to use servlets, etc.? All my clients are Java 5 or above so I can't push the Pack200 compressed version of the jar to every single one of them and there is no selection process needed. But I can't do it because of the servlet or complex Apache server setup requirement (it would be a headache to get customers' web server admins to set up Apache or whatever web server that way).
    My question is why is there unwillingness to add Pack200 support directly to Java Web Start and JNLP so that you can start Pack200 compressed jars just like you would start any jar using Java Web Start? Is te a technical problem?
    Thank you,
    Mete Kural

    Hallo,
    I didn�t try it, but the webstart FAQ�s read:
    Can I use Pack200 compression with the JnlpDownloadServlet?
    Yes. The JnlpDownloadServlet distributed in the samples directory of the JDK now supports Pack200. If you deploy yourfile.jar along with yourfile.jar.pack.gz the packed file will be downloaded when the client is running Java Web Start 1.5.0 or later.
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/faq.html#217
    For further information you may want to look at
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/downloadservletguide.html#pack200
    The configuration of the server and the the servlet (as described in the second link) is as easy as it seems.
    I got it working on the first try and it was my first experience with websevers at all.

  • How to disable an out of the box disable User process task  from resource?

    How should I disable the out of the box disable User process task that is assigned to a particular resource? If I disable this disable User process task, when the user is provisioned to the same resource will I be able to stop this disable User process from running?
    My requirement: I need to disable the disable user process task from three resources x, y and z. Whenever a user is provisioned to one of these resources I should stop this disable user process task an out of the box process task from running. How can this be accomplished?? Please help me out on how to configureto remove the process task in the OIM Admin console to stop the process task.

    You can avoid the disable task from triggering by removing the Disable Process Or Access to Application from the task effect drop down in the process task. But this task is triggered once the user is disabled. But still I didn't understand the exact scenario.
    By the way the disable task is triggered when the user gets disabled and not when the user is provisioned.

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • Move document set [out of the box]

    is there a out of the box solution to move document set between libraries?
    I have created site collection using Document Center site template for SP2013 Enterprise. 
    I was really surprised that Doc Set has no functionality to move it from one library to another? 
    Option needs to be available to end user in like 3-4 steps from document set ...
    Any tips?  
     

    Hi
    TUlee ,
    For moving document set between libraries, you can use the Site Content and Structure in the site settings. Using the Site Content and Structure  function we can manage both the content and structure
    of your SharePoint site collection.  To access the Site Content and Structure page, you must have a minimum of Contribute permissions.
    For more information, you can refer to the article:

    Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

    Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.
