Workflow condition

Hi All,
I am using the following condition to catch an update on field Owner under Account tab.
PRE('<Owner_field>') NOT EQUAL TO [<Owner>].
I have used "smaller and greater than symbol (<>)" instead of NOT EQUAL TO
But when i update the Owner field in Account then it doesnt trigger the event.
Please help me if there is any syntactical mistake.
Thank You and Rgds,
Neel

Workflow condition question

Whenever a new opportunity is being added, If the ExternalSystemId field is blank then go ahead and fire off the workflow action. If it's NOT blank then do not fire off the workflow
In the workflow condition, I have this
len(Field_Value('<ExternalSystemId>')) = 0 OR len(Field_Value('<ExternalSystemId>')) IS NULL
but it still fires off the workflow even though the external system id field has something in it.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks

If I understand your question, you would need to write your default expression in the field definition (read the Default value and post default behavior). There are no workflow triggers for create (new Opportunity).

What happened to useful workflow conditions?

I'm jumping from 2007 workflows to 2013 and finding a lot of things I can't do that I used to be able to. I would have thought workflows options would have expanded not shrunk. what has happened to the condition item "begins with" or
"contains" or "is empty" ?
Also, how do I make link two conditions with and AND operator.? If This AND That?
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know what happened to useful workflow conditions.
There are features that are deprecated in or removed from SharePoint Designer 2013. Features that are deprecated are included in the SharePoint 2013 release for compatibility with previous product versions but will be removed from future
versions.
There are also the capabilities and features that are new to workflows in SharePoint 2013.
For more information, you can refer to:
What's changed in SharePoint Designer 2013
What's new in workflows for SharePoint 2013
In addition, you can also use And operator in the condition.
You can add a condition, and then click the condition and add another condition.
You can create workflow as below:

Correct workflow condition syntax?

Which of these two workflow conditions is correct?
a) (Left([<Owner>], 3) = "952")
or
b) (Left([<Owner>], 3) = 952")
Both check out as far as syntax is concerned. b) was in place up until a few minutes ago, but I'm wondering whether conditions like it throw off workflow actions by acting on the value of PRE('Owner') instead of the one that's been changed.

We have workflows in place that are designed to assign an account to a book based on the first 3 characters of the value updated in the Owner field. For example, if the owner is 953000, the workflow action should assign the account to the 953 book.
What appears to be happening is that it's being assigned to a Book that matches the 3-character string associated with the PREVIOUS owner. For example. I have a record whose owner is 174000. If I set the owner to 953000, the Book designation remains unchanged. If I then set the owner to 999999, the Book designation then changes to the 953 book.

By publishing this workflow, conditions and actions inside Impersonation steps will run using your credentials

In a SharePoint 2010 workflow that accesses a custom list, I am getting the following warning message before I publish the workflow to the SharePoint test server:
"By publishing this workflow, conditions, and actions inside impersonation steps will run with your credentials".
The only step in this SharePoint 2010 workflow is the impersonate step.
Thus would you tell me what I can do to have the workflow run under different credentials?

Hi,
As the warning says, any actions within Impersonation step would be carried out under your credentials if you published the workflow. If you intended to just add a Step in the workflow, then use different icon that says Step (with down arrow). Impersonation
step is used to modify the permissions on the item.
Once you have this, the workflow will be executing under the credentials of whoever starts it. Hope it helps.

Workflow conditional statement not working

I have 2 level approvals of objects in Documents list.
The document first uploaded by user and then first need to get approval from HR Line Manager and then get approval from HR manager.
the attach image shows shows workflow , the issue is either I select approve or reject in first approval the if statement is always true , it should not go inside if statement if first approval is rejected by HR Line Manager roles
Tech Learner

Hi,
To make the condition work in the workflow, there are two more things need to be done:
1. Enable content approval in the Documents library which the workflow is associated with.
Go to the Library Settings page of the Documents library > click Versioning settings > select Yes under Require content approval for submitted items.
If we do not enable this, the value of Approval Status column will always be Approved.
2. Add a Set Workflow Variable step above the Start Approval Process step and set it to Yes in the workflow.
After adding the Set Workflow Variable step, we can set the Approval Status column when we approve or reject the task process. Otherwise the Approval Status column will not change no matter how the task process works.

Victoria

Workflow condition to check error records in a multi line container element

Hi All,
My requirement is to change a standard workflow in which below condtion is checked and subsequent action is taken.
The condtion checks a return internal table contains a row or not. Now the problem is for success and Information messages
also the return table contains entries and the condition is becoming true. Subsequently workflow follows error recovery steps when there is no error.
SAP suggests a note with manual corrections and mentions to change the condition to check whether error records are there. So can we enhance the condition &return& NX to something that it checks error records. I dont want to create a new step and go to business object method to delete non error records.
Please let me know if this condition can be enhanced.
Thanks in Advance.
Aleem Mohiuddin.

Dear Aleem,
As this is sap standard workflow, should report this error and wait for feed back. Or add a loop step before of this check any E messages inside, if yes put a errflg as x other wise keep as blank.
Best of luck.

Ranjith

Workflow Condition giving strange output

Please check is there any default values and if it is type 'NUMC' means it has 0000 by default.
So it can also made the conflict.

Workflow Condition Step Failing

Hi All,
I am facing a very peculiar error.
I have two outcomes modelled depending on a varible (Material Type) in the worklfow.
My workflow gets triggered when I push SUBMIT button on my ADOBE interactive form on ABAP Web Dynpro launcehd
from UWL. Now if i check the workflow container, the variable is set properly. But still the condition fails. A backgorund task
having import parameters as Owrkflow container elements fails with an exception even though the import parameters are set.
But yes, again the workflow container same elements can be displayed on any form in further steps by reading the container
from ABAP webDynpro launched from UWL. Peculiar !!!
The same workflow works fine if I directly set the variables and test the workflow.
Why this ?..... Any Idea.... ? If something is written on to the workflow container can the workflow work on those variables ?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your suggestions. Actually we could solve it ina different way. It was a nice but tricky error in muy coding.
Here is what I was doing:
1) I tirgger my workflow on click of 'SUBMIT' button on my ADOBE interactive in AWD
2) Then I get the instance of the workflow to get the Workflow Work Item ID
3) Now I write the form data to the workflow container.
Note: By the time I write to my container, my workflow had been already triggered, with the condition step at the 1st.
And the container is not yet written, hence the condition fails.
Solution: I used a wait step. And Read the workflow container in loop untill the container elements are populated.
Once out of this loop, I now tirgger the write to the container and raise the wait event.
Cheers !!

Sharepoint designer workflow: condition on multiple choice field

Hello,
basically I want a set of actions based on the selection of a user saved in a multiple choice field.
For instance, the column named "Choices" has the possible values: Car, Bike, Bus, Plane
So i want a condition to check for the values that were selected (in pseudocode)
IF Choices contains "Car" then ....
IF Choices contains "Bike" then ....
IF Choices contains "Bus" then ....
IF Choices contains "Plane" then ....
But in the designer when i tried to implement such a condition, im not able to write this structure.
I can select the column in the if clause but then i can only select "equals" and "not equals" instead of "contains"
Moreover, the when I choose the related string as value it is not saved.
How can I implement this (normally simple condition) in SharePoint designer?

Hi
use a calculated column, to set deppending on your chocie column with IF statement , next use that new calculated column in your next steps

Workflow Conditional Approver

Good morning, all-
I'm trying to set up a workflow which would allow a manager to approve the attendance of an associate at a given event. The associates may have different managers (eg associate 1, 2, and 3 may need approval from manager a, while associates 4,
5, and 6 may need approval from manager b).
Can anyone give me input on how to set up this conditional requriement in a workflow? Please note, however, that I do not have access to actually code anything. I can simply use the workflow 'wizards' in sharepoint.
I can, however, modify the list and its settings, if that would help.

Casey,
This workflow can be build using SharePoint designer without writing any code.
Se this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSNDzq3ev4I
You can take two approach
1. You can ask user "who is your manager/approver" and then start approval workflow by reading and assigning task from that field
2. You can maintain a SharePoint list (for master record or configuration record) as User and Manager as two column. You need to maintain a complete list of user and their approver in this list. Later from Designer workflow, you read from this list and assign
task as per list data config.
Hope you got the idea and approach to go forward. Let us know if you need more help

Workflow conditions

I am creating a workflow for sending mail when picking is not done. I have created a Z object. I am using method EXECUTE in the activity. My requirement is mail to be general if the pick status = A. In the work contaier step i have used ABAP object type and field. Object type is VBUK (table) and filed KOSTK. Created a condition in the activity step pick status = a Also created another container element with Zobject type . Workflow is not trigeering the dely. Pleae help

Hello Pooja,
Can you please detail on what conditions is the WF being triggered..?
What I could get from your post, is that:-
1. There is a Z Object that you have created - Kindly check that the Z Object Event Binding is done properly with the WF?
2. The Z Object should be associated to the Transaction in case its a completely customized Z Object, not delegated from a standard BO.

SharePoint Designer Workflow, condition: if value of date/time field is less then x days from today, do something

Hello,
A field in a list is called 'Date' (it is a date/time type of field)
Now I want a condition in a workflow that checks the 'date' field. If the date is less than X days from today it should (for example) send an email to a certain user.
Is this kind of condition possible in a SharePoint Designer Workflow?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As I understand, you want to create a workflow that can check data.
The workflow can be:
1. Add 0 months, 2 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes to Current Item:date1 (Output to Variable: date ) (2 days is the days you can set, and Current Item:data1 is the datefield you want to check from today)
2. Add 0 months, 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes to Today (Output to Variable: date1 )
3. Set time as 0 : 0 for Variable: date (Output to Variable: date2 )(get the Variable: date Date only )
4. Set time as 0 : 0 for Variable: date1 (Output to Variable: date3 )( get the Variable: date1 Date only)
5. If Variable: date2 equals Variable: date3
6. Email these users

Excluding Web Service channel for Workflow condition

Hi all,
We have a workflow that is a cancel/save workflow to stop users from marking a lead as qualified without entering certain data fields - specifically estimated close date. There are cases where we have imported leads directly into the system as qualified and those leads were not imported with an estimated close date. We have a WEB SERVICE which will update the sales person field. The WEB SERVICE is failing because it is hitting the Workflow cancel/save.
It's my understanding that I can use the exclude channel ('Web Services') as part of my WF condition to allow the web service to 'skip' the workflow. I have tried it numerous ways and it is not working.
Here's two of the ways we have tried the syntax....the differences are the () groupings.
Attempt #1
(([<Status>]='Qualifying') OR ([<Status>]='Rejected')OR (PRE('<Status>')<>'Qualified' AND [<Status>]='Qualified' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')='Qualified' AND[<Status>]='Qualified' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')<>'Converted' AND [<Status>]='Converted' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')='Converted' AND[<Status>]='Converted' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL)) AND ExcludeChannel('Web Services')
Attempt #2
((([<Status>]='Qualifying') OR ([<Status>]='Rejected')OR (PRE('<Status>')<>'Qualified' AND [<Status>]='Qualified' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')='Qualified' AND[<Status>]='Qualified' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')<>'Converted' AND [<Status>]='Converted' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL) OR (PRE('<Status>')='Converted' AND[<Status>]='Converted' AND [<EstimatedCloseDate>] IS NOT NULL)) AND ExcludeChannel('Web Services'))
I have tried some other iterations and am having no luck....anyone see what I am doing wrong??
Thanks!
Ann

Well, I got it working by actually not using the exclude channel for webservices and import.
I went with using a specific user id for my particular case it worked much better.
Since I was using cancel/save and by definition Exlcude Channel returns a FALSE response, so then I combined NOT Exclude Channel (web services) and Not exclude channel for import. Unfortunatly, I think we have too many 'not' and I ran into issues.
I think if you have a standard workflow (not cancel/save) then Exclude Channel ('Web Service' ) does work.
hope that helps.

Desktop Workflow: condition is CSQ?

We are trying to build a voice contact workflow using Cisco Desktop Work Flow Administrator, that will create a screen pop. Under the default workflow, we've built an Answered http action that works fine.
However, we need to do some special things based on which CSQ the call went to. For example if it's CSQ = "Dev" then I'll use one http server, but if CSQ = "Prod" then the screen pop goes somewhere else.
So I assumed I would need to build a separate workflow (not Default) and use conditions. But none of the available conditions are CSQ. Is there any way to build different workflows based on CSQ?
I guess if not, I can modify my script to set a Call Variable 1 or something to the queue, but I wanted to avoid modifying the script.
The environment is UCCX 8
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Esha,
Based on plants you can decide whether workflow should trigger or not
for that you could use a Function Module and use that function module to trigger the workflow
the logic inside the Function Module should be like fetch all the plants from the table and according to the plant value you could trigger the workflow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
that's the case if you want to decide the triggering of workflow
suppose the workflow is triggered and you need to build your logic inside the workflow
Put a condition with two outcomes True and False
if plant value satisfy ur need then you can proceed with your workflow(true)
else put a process control step 'Stopped' and choose cancel workflow
(including all callers) likewise you could stop your workflow if your condition doesnt satisfy your requirement.
Kind Regards
Hari Sankar M
