Want to create a workflow

I want to create a workflow in a task list wherein if a user do not complete the task assigned to him within given date I and a couple of others users should receive email alerts.
Please let me how to do it...I am using SharePoint Online 2013 and new to it so not familiar with SharePoint. I tried creating a workflow from the task list but no luck. I am not familiar with using SharePoint designer so if someone could help me with
steps it would be really helpful.

Hi Charlie,
For common issues, you could firstly calculate the number of days between created date and due date, then set workflow to pause until due date, and check task status, finally decide whether to send reminder.
You could refer to :
http://aspe-it.com/blog/2013/how-to-create-a-task-with-a-reminder-in-sharepoint-2010/
There are possibility of changing due date, and here is a good article for this situation:

How do I create a workflow to close open programs and then turn off?

I want to create a workflow where any open programs will be closed and then my Mac will turn itself off. How do I do this?
Cheers.

I don't use Automator, but the following Applescript will do it:
set excludedones to {"loginwindow", "Dock", "SystemUIServer", "MirrorAgent", "UniversalAccess", "iCalAlarmScheduler", "System Events"}
tell application "Finder"
set quitlist to the name of every application process whose file type is "APPL"
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to count of quitlist
set aProcess to item i of quitlist
if aProcess is not in excludedones then
try
tell application aProcess to quit
end try
end if
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell
Actually the last three lines by themselves would probably do it. Of course if any of the applications have open unsaved documents then you will get the usual dialog about do you want to save them.

Creating a Workflow to print PDFs with certain attributes

I work in the media dept of a college and am looking for an easier way to print students coursework which they export from Adobe Indesign CS4 as a PDF file.
I have managed to enable printing all PDFs on Tabloid extra paper from my network printer, by setting the default print settings. I have the printer in my dock so all I need to do is drag the PDFs in a folder to the printer icon on the dock and it prints all PDFs.
This is great, however I would like to have more control over this process. If possible I would like to print only the PDFs that have a certain format.
The students are supposed to export there PDFs from Indesign with the "spreads" checkbox checked. This produces a document that has a number of A4 sized pages in portrait and 1 A3 sized page in landscape.
I want to know if there is anyway of printing of the correctly formatted PDFs, whilst skipping the incorrectly formatted PDFs, without having to go through all the PDFs and check the formatting before printing?
Any help or ideas on this would be great.
Thanks

Hi There
Thank you for your response.
I managed to create a workflow that can be started automatically upon the creation of a folder in my document library. I then added an Impersonation step where I used the "Remove list Item Permissions" & "Add List Item Permissions" actions.
The challenge I am faced with is on the Remove Permissions action, I want to remove all inherited permissions for all existing users and only leave Users with Full Control. Is there a way to select All Existing Users in one function and perhaps
pass that as a "Selected Users" parameter? Currently I have to select the users/groups individually and there are over 100 existing users/groups to choose from.
Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Creating a workflow to give permissions to a SharePoint folder using Impersonation Step

Hi There,
I have been tasked with creating a workflow in my organise that will allow our users with (Contributor access) to grant people access upon creating a folder in our Shared Documents library.
Currently when our users create a folder, they need to logged a call with site administrators to granted the relevant people access to the folder and its contents.
Is it possible to create a solution that will kick off automatically upon creation of a folder and allow the Creator Only to grant a subset of users permissions to the folder using the Impersonation Step?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Tibz

When creating a new record in a list, I want to create a new record in another list, too, together with the ID of the first record

OK, for anyone who has ever programmed a database, this one is easy. However, I am EXTREMELY limited. I work with SharePoint 365 (2013). I am pretty proficient in a number of programing languages, but I really don't know how to program SP. I wouldn't even
know where to put code.
Say, I have two lists: List A, with Items A1 (ID), A2, A3 and List B, with Items B1 (Lookup to A1), B2, B3. What I want this: When I create a new record in List A I want that also an empty record (except for the B:A1 item) is created. Is that possible without
any major programing?

How do i create a workflow to delete tasks.

I've created a workflow that will take the Title, Start Date, and End Date from one list (roomReserved) and then create a task on another list (centralCal) setup as a central calendar. When a yes/no checkbox is checked, it will then create the task on the
centralCal. The problem I'm having right now is i am unable to remove or delete the task created in centralCal when the checkbox is unchecked.
I way I'm trying to delete the task in the workflow is:
if current item:checkbox equals no
then delete item in centralCal
in the "Choose List Item" popup menu
I choose List:centralCal
Find the List Item:
Field: Title
Value:
Lookup for Single line of text (popup)
Data source: Current Item
Field from source: Title
Return field as: string (greyed out)
To make sure the correct item is deleted I'm comparing the titles from the roomReserved and centralCal.
What I want the workflow to do is delete the task from centralCal if the checkbox is unchecked from roomReserved. Any idea's on how to change my workflow to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,
I tried reproducing the issue in my environment. I created a list1 with two column: title and checkbox, a list2 with one column: title.
I created two workflows in SharePoint Designer: workflow1, if current item checkbox field equals yes, create item in list2, title= current item title. Workflow1 start automatically when an item is created.
Workflow2: if current item checkbox field equals no, delete item in list2. Choose List Item is set as below, and workflow2 starts automatically when item is changed.

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels? I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended. I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business. I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
Best results depend on you
a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
and it is low quality
Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

Create a workflow that pulls data from a list based on a person in the list and emails that person

I am trying to create a workflow in SharePoint 2010 using SharePoint Designer.
I have a list [ExceptionList] of users each associated with a sponsor. A sponsor can have multiple users aligned to them. I need to create a workflow which emails the sponsor with their associated users.
Example:
John, Bill, and Kelly are listed with Bob as their sponsor. I'd like an email sent that will pull the names of John, Bill, and Kelly into the email so that Bob can validate that he is still their sponsor.
I know how to create the basic workflow email, but am not sure how to pull in the related names into the body of the email. I assume I will need to build a string.
Anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use workflow to send an email to the sponsor with the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor.
I recommend to create another list to store the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor and then email the sponsor with the values in the list.
In my test, I created another list called test list and created two columns: user(store users’ names) and Sponsor(store sponsor’s name). Fill the list with all the sponsors and leave user field as blank.
After that, create another workflow associated with the ExceptionList to get all the users’ names who are belonging to a sponsor to fill in the user field in the test list and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
And then you can send email with the value in the user field in test list to the sponsor.
Best regards.
Thanks

I want to create a power rangers spd morph effect

Hello i'm trying to create the SPD power rangers morph sequence and i want to create it from scratch as i want to put my custom made power rangers suit for my short film in the morphing sequence, does anyone know any tutorials or can any one tell me how to do this
thank you in advance

Layers... roto, keying, distort, blur, blend modes.
I have no idea what the speed morph effect is but if I had footage of me in a suit and I wanted me to do something I'd have to separate me from the background (layers, roto, keying) then distort (many plug-ins do this) blur, and add some blend modes to make me morph...
As Todd said, without an understanding of the how After Effects works, you haven't got a chance unless you find a specific tutorial for this effect that gives you a precise step by step. Here's another link to a little different approach to the Basic Workflow.

Can we create a workflow in Solution Manager ?

Hi Friends,
Actually I have a requirement to create a workflow in solution manager.
The requirement is to create a wf for issue log. As soon as a new <b>issue (support message)</b> is created then the wf should get triggered and send out a mail to the resp. person. It just a sending a mail between issue created and responsible person. Can anyone please let me know if we create a wf in Solman or not ? <b>If so please provide me some related buss. obj for that.</b> thanks
Grateful to your help.
Srithan

If you want to Place certain actions after status change of a transaction, it's better to do this with an action profile and a condition for that action:
In Solman check SPRO path:
CRM>Transactions>Basic settings-->Define transaction types
In this activity double click the transaction type to find out what the action profile is:
Now go to:
CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define action profiles and actions
Here you can add an action definition on the action profile, this can be methods, workflow or in your case a smartform mail.
If the action profile is a SAP standard (doesn't begin with Z) it is advisable to copy the standard. Also, this is more of a CRM/Solman consultant issue, so you may have to involve such a consultant
Now go to
CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define Conditions
Here you can add conditions which will cause the action to be executed.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

I want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidence for me

i want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidance for me

SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
