When a task is expired in SharePoint Designer Approval Process?

Hi,
i set an approval workflow (with a few stages) in designer and set duration of 1 day for a task.
It seems that in case i set exact due date - the logic of task expiration does work - and the user get mail that task is overdue.
But when i set the duration of 1 day to a task - althogh after a day the task wasn't completed - no "task overdue" mail is being sent to the user.
What should i set? is there any workflow variable that i should set?
thanks

Hi Keren,
Thank you so much for your post.
As per your post, I understand that if we set exact due date, the user will receive the overdue email, and if we set the duration to 1 day,
the user won’t receive the overdue email although the task isn't completed, please feel free to correct me if I misunderstand you.
Given this situation, I would love to suggest we check the following information,
Please check if you have set Overdue Repeat to Daily not Off.
2.
Please also check if you have set OverdueRepeatTimes to -1, specify -1 to repeat indefinitely.
If the issue persists after we check above settings, it would be highly appreciated you can share with us the detailed steps for how to reproduce
this issue, and I will test this issue in my lab again.
We look forward to hearing from your update.
Sincerely Yours,
Serena Li

Data Source for Current Task not Showing in SharePoint Designer 2013

Hello,
I am creating a approval workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013. I had completed the workflow only to have the requirement by the client that they wanted to approve the workflow from email. So I thought why not use the Current Task:Form_URN data source field.
But i went to look for it, and it doesnt appear to be in the drop down.
Im on Office 365, and using it for one of my SharePoint Sites. Im new to Office 365. Please help.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Current Task:Form_URN to let users approve the task in email.
When we use SharePoint 2010 platform to create approval workflow with “Start Approval Process” action, in the approval notification email, there is a button called “Open this Task”with Outlook client. If we click the button, it will call the task and we
can approve or reject the task.
I added a log action into my approval workflow to log Current Task:Form_URN, the value of the log message was the edit form of the current task.
If you want to use it in email, you can do as the followings:
Open your approval workflow with SharePoint 2013 Designer (the platform of the workflow sould be SharePoint 2010 platform).
Edit the workflow
In the “Start Approval Process” action, click “Approval (*)”.
Click “Change the behavior of a single task”
In the “When a Task is Pending” section, find the action “Email task notification to
Current Task:Assigned To “, and edit it like the screenshot below.
Publish the workflow

Renaming SharePoint 2010 Designer Approval Process Action Variable Name

Hi,
I am creating a 7 level(Mutiple) Approval Workflow in SharePoint 2010 Designer.
Whenever i add a new Approval Task Process action it adds 14 to 15 varialbes like Duration Unit,Duration Description,IsApproved,IsDeleted,EnableContentTypeApproval etc.
Since i am adding 7 Approval Task Process actions i am getting the variables added as Duration Unit1,Duration Description1,IsApproved1,IsDeleted1 etc in the Workflow.
I want to rename them to track it in a better way so that i can change them like Duration Units-Level1,Duration Description-Level1,IsApproved-Level1,IsDeleted-Level1 etc.
I am able to rename all the varaibles except Duration Unit and Duration Description. I see the Local varaible type as Duration Unit for Duration Unit varialbe and i am not able to modify it since i don't see a Type Called Duration Unit in Workflow variables
type properties.
For Duration Description i can rename it but while publishing i am getting the error as mentioned in the below blog.
http://spnovice.blogspot.com/2012/12/spd-workflow-error-path-needs-to-point.html
It's hard to track this varible with names like Duration Description,Duration Description 1,Duration Description2,Duration Description3,Duration Description4,Duration Description5,Duration Description6 etc.
How to rename these two variables in Approval 2010 Designer workflow.
I see varailbes like CC and Approvers which i dont need.Can we remove the unused vaiables also so that i can have limited no of vaaibles in my workflow.
Please help.
Thanks, Vijay Arockiasamy

Scott,
I have created 7 different approval workflows on a single list.Just followed the recommendation from
Keith Hudson, J.D in this blog.
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/sharePoint-designer-2010-multilevel-approval-136589.S.5824115633184350208
But as per this blog the workflows triggers only when a new item is created not when a an item is changed.
I have few questions on these 7 workflows on a single list.
1.If the Approver rejects the request the request needs to reubmit it with some changes.In this case if the requestor edits the existing list item the workflow will not trigger.
2.I am using Wait on Field action.For Example if Level 1=Approved and Level 3 is pending then level 2 approval workflow will trigger.
In level 2 workflow i am using update list item action and updating the Level status=approved.Int this case level 1 workflow will also trigger if i am executing the workflow on both item created and item changed event.
Could you please help on this.
Thanks, Vijay Arockiasamy

Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
It's saved and published globally.
Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
Regards
Henning

Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
Learning every day!

Designing approval process scenario

Hello All,
We need to design an approval process where the line manager and the cost center owner need to approve the expense report.
With the available options we were only able to define a process that leads to a situation that an approver has to approve and expense report twice if the line manager and the cost center manager are the same. Is there an option to avoid double approvals by the same person?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
no, currently this is not possible to avoid or recognize 'double' approval, however colleagues from BTM/MSA framework team are working on a solution for the near future.
Regards,
Peter.

Retrieve Approver Name in SHarePoint Designer workflow

Hi,
I have created a sharepoint designer approval workflow which is assigned to a sharepoint group. Anyone from that group can approve task.I am trying to update a column in list with approver's name but I am getting item creater's name. I have used the following
actions to get Approver's name but none of them giving Approver's name, all are them giving Item creater's name only.
1. Workflow Context: Current User
2. Current Item : Modified By
3. Task Process: Item Modified By
Can anybody help me out to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
AA.

Hi AA,
As I understand, you created an approval workflow and assigned it to multiple accounts. And you would like to get approver’s name in the workflow.
I tested the issue via creating an approval workflow and assigned it to everyone, then I logged in as another account and approved the task. When I accessed workflow history list via
http://sitename/Lists/Workflow%20History/AllItems.aspx . I found approver’s name in one of the items. Then I returned to Approval task, and found out that [%Current Task:Modified By%] stored
the approver’s name.
You could use [%Current Task:Modified By%] parameter to get approver’s name. Please go to
Approval process in your workflow and change the behavior of a single task, then you could get it per the reference below. If you would like to use it in workflow, you could set a workflow variable to it and use the workflow variable.

Error on publishing workflow from sharepoint designer

when I try to publish my workflow created with Workflow Designer I get this error message
System.ServiceModel.ServerTooBusyException: The HTTP service located at http://serversp:32843/a5bd4fa831174777a536161331fdf118/AppMng.svc is
unavailable. This could be because the service is too busy or because no endpoint was found listening at the specified address. Please ensure that the address is correct and try accessing the service again later.
---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
workflow 2013 is already connected to sharepoint server i get this error on the final step of publishing a workflow

Hi,
As I understand, when you published the workflow in SharePoint Designer you encountered the error.
I suggest you follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
1. You could check if the App Management Service is started. (Go to CA -> System Settings -> Services on server -> check if the App Management Service is started.) If not, start the App Management Service, then perform iisreset.
2. If the issue still exists, you could click start->click “run”->type in “services.msc” ->restart "SharePoint Search Host Service". This is because there is not enough space to start the service. Note that the "SharePoint Search
Host Service" consumes a lot of memory.
The article below is about Error: The Requested Service, AppMng.svc Could Not be Activated.

Hey Bale
Yes I use sharepoint designer 2013, when I do the same in sharepoint designer 2010, it do well
No to your question 2, 3 and 4
See again my picture below her, when I open the internet browser
in the database you have a table with forename and another table with last name,
the link between this two table is the id, when I open it is ok, Bens lastname is
James, Ben James.
So when I try to click on the blue id number 2 beside John, Johns Last name
should show up, but it did not, the link is dead. that's my problem the funny about this when I
do the same procedure see above in sharepoint designer 2010, it do well ?
Here is my first steps, when you have uploaded the first datasource, you need to save, place your courser
behind the <asp:ScriptManager runat="server" id="ScriptManager"></asp:ScriptManager> x PLACE COURSER HER
THEN you can upload the next datasource, the sharepoint designer automatic generate the code for the grid.
When you have the two grids inside the aspx file, place your courser behind the first
<WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart X <---
then the tab "option" show up and inside here you can add the connections between the two grids.

When a task expires is not triggered in SharePoint designer workflow

Hi all,
I am using sharepoint designer workflow for document approval and the tasks are assigned in serial.. but the when a task expires event is not triggered.. I have set due date for the task process but still it is not triggered.. Can anyone tell me how
to resolve this issue..
I am using this option to escalate the task to the next approver if it is not completed within the specific duration.. Can anyone tell me if there is any alternative way to do this..

Hi ,
I understand that when a task expires ,the workflow doesn’t create the tasks for next approval .This is how serial tasks works .You
need to complete the first task first before the next task is generated .So you can add actions by change the behavior of a single task .
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer .Click Approval(1) to modify the approval process .
Choose ‘Change the behavior of a single task ’ on next page .Find the ‘When a task expires ’ section .
Add actions like ‘Rescind task’ (this action completes the task without an outcome) ,’Reassign Task’(reassign current task to another people ), ‘escalate task ’(escalate current task to manager) .
In this way ,the current task is whether completed or reassigned for completion ,then the next task will be created after current task is completed .
For more information about this task action ,please refer to this site:
Workflow actions in SharePoint Designer 2010: A quick reference guide :

When building a vacation leave holiday system using SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Designer workflows how can I add half day functionality?

Hi,
I have built a vacation leave holiday system for SharePoint Foundation 2010 using SharePoint Designer workflows and Javascript. Everything works perfectly but I'm struggling to design a solution for users to specify half day requests that span over dates
greater than 1 day, i.e. my half day solution works but only when the start and end date are the same. How would I change the user interface to allow users to choose which day they want the half day to be requested when the vacation leave holiday request is
from, say, 6th - 10th Jan 2014?
Thanks.

Hi ,
I have a test on my machine with a custom approval workflow and it can work normally .Here are the detailed steps :
1.
Open the site in SharePoint Designer .Create a workflow to associate with the document library .Set the workflow to start when an item is created and when an item is changed
.Also allow the workflow to start manually .
2.
Choose ‘Collect Data from a user’ .
3.
Click on the data and give a name to the Task created .
4.
Define the custom form field name as ‘Approve ?’ .Set the information type as Choice .
5.
Set the choices as ‘Approve’ and ’Reject’ .Display as Checkboxes .Uncheck the ‘Allow fill-in values’ and ‘Allow blank values’
.Click finish to save .
6.
Click on users and add the users who will approve the documents .
7.
Keep the output to variable as collect .
8.
Add a new step .Choose ‘If any value equals value ’ .Set the any value ‘Data source’ as workflow variables and parameters .Set the ‘Field
from source’ as Variable: collect .
9.
Set the value behind ‘equals ’ as ‘Approve’ .
10.
Add a new action ‘Update list item ’ .Set the item as current item .Add the field Approval status as Approved .
11.
Add an Else-if branch to update the Approval status as Rejected .
12.
Publish the workflow and test in your site .
Thanks,
Entan Ming

SharePoint Designer 2010 Error occurs when accessing Edit Form: "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source ..." This occurs when using "" in a calculated column in a SharePoint List

I created a calculated column "Expiration Date" in SharePoint 2010 with formula, =IF([Contingent Hire]=TRUE,(Created+90),(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE," ")))
This works in the SharePoint list but when I go to edit the Edit Form in Designer. I get the error specified in the title of this post. I'm trying to make it so the Expiration Date is blank when another column, "Contingent Hire" (a YES/No
column) is FALSE.
The Edit Form is essentially a DataViewWebpart. If I remove the " ", like so, "(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE,))" from the calc column, the error goes away; however, the Expiration Date field does not
remain blank like I want it to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? (Below is the error generated when I open Designer and then try to open the Edit form for the corresponding list containing the calc column)
JackSki123

Hi Jack,
Could you provide a screenshot about this issue?
As Dimitri suggested, you can install the update for your SharePoint Designer and check again.
And you can also check if you can display "NA" instead of " " in your calculated column per the following post.

How to set Mandatory Choice field while Creating Custom Task using Sharepoint Designer 2007

Hi,
I am new to Sharepoint development.I dont know whether i am posting the question in Correct place.Kindly redirect me to the correct place if i am posting it in wrong place.
I created a custom task in Sharepoint Designer 2007 using
Collect Data from User
Action.
I created a field in the task form which is of choice type and
unchecked allow blank values
because i wanted that field to be a mandatory field.When i handled that task ,i was able to complete that task
without selecting that mandatory field.But, I was expecting not to allow me to complete the task without selecting that field. Kindly tell me how to set the choice field as mandatory.

Hi,
You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
This is by design that
Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

Specify duration for each assignment stage in an approval task - sharepoint designer workflow

HI
I am trying to create an approval workflow in sharepoint designer. How do I configure different duration for each participant in a approval task .?

I had a similar issue. Best way I found was to go into the 'Before a Task is Assigned' of the task and then Set Task Field Due Date - to the date needed. If you need to get into specific time of the day, it presents additional issues. First the
workflow doesn't have a 'current time' function. If the task is being created at the start of the workflow, you can use Workflow Context Date/Time started and calculate from there. If you are adding a task, or the
task is occurring after a previous task, you can make a workflow field and on the 'When a Task Completes - assign it the value of Current Task Last Modified. Also, it seems their is bug where it doesn't recognize the
time-zone correctly when you update the Due Date in the workflow process. So if you see unexpected results for the time in the duedate value, may have to adjust for however many number of hours your timezone is from GMT.

Remove the last task of the stand approval process workflow in SharePoint Designer

Hello,
I am building a workflow in SharePoint Designer. I have added the standard approval process that comes stock in SharePoint. I also have the approval set up to handle change requests. This is where my issue is. A user can eather approve
a document or request changes(according to some limitations i have in place on the InfoPath form). If they approve, the workflow is complete. If they request a change, a request change task gets assigned to another user. This other user then
completes their review and submits their response. this then kicks off the approval process again to the original user to approve.
1. User A recieves approval form - requests a change
2. User B recieves Form - submits that changes have been made
3. User A recieves another approval form - then can approve
I am looking for a way to eliminate step number 3. I want User B to be able to complete the approval when he submits the changes. I tried copying and pasting the approve button from the default infopath view onto the view that UserB
sees, which has a data submit action when the button is clicked. This did not work.
Any ideas would help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a “request a change” button in the Task Form.
If you can cutomize the task form, I recommend to add button directly and then add conditions and rules to the button.
After you add the “request a change” button, the workflow is similar to the
Multiple Approval Workflow.
Here is a great blog for your reference:

Multiple User Task Process in SharePoint Designer

HI ,
I have 2 Users in Approval Level , and i have created Task process for Both Users using SharePoint designer 2013.
I have selected Parallel ( All at once) option. Once Task Process created, the !st User Approved & 2nd User Rejected, The OutCome coming as Rejected.
I need an Outcome as Rejected even any one in Group Rejected the Task Process.
Please Help me on this.
Sugumaran Srinuvasan

Hi,
By design in SharePoint, if there is a user reject the task, the task outcome will become to Rejected.
If you want to end workflow once one user reject the task, you need to change the workflow action as below:
Then when the first one reject the task, the action will be completed and the task outcome will become to Rejected.
