Workflow on folder level to update another list
Hi there,
I have folder structure like folder1/folder2/folder3
there are wiki pages in these folders
When I create a new wiki page in one of the folders say folder3 I want an item to be created in another list which has name same as the wiki page name.
I tried to write a workflow on site pages library(because it gave me that option only). It does not seem to workout.
Can I write a workflow to achieve this task..??
Any help will be highly appreciated...
Many thanks in advance...
Hi,
Per my knowledge, we can't set the list which has name same as the wiki page name in workflow.
So, we can use a Event Receiver to achieve your requirement.

Update another list when list is updated
What do you recommend to update another list when the current list is updated.
I have a workflow which updates a Reports list. I also have a favorites list which has 4-5 columns which are in the reports list and I would like to update those values when the reports list is updated. I use a workflow to update the reports list.
ThanksHi CoutinhoR,
You could use your existing workflow to update the favourites list (after it has updated the reports list).
Another way, would be creating an event receiver that updates the favourites list whenever an item in the reports list is added, modified or deleted.
It depends on the functionality you need to achieve. If you are just incrementing the value of the columns for a single item in the favourites list (when a report is updated), then using the existing workflow would probably work best.

How to do timer job to update another list?
Hi all,
If i update a field in a SharePoint list, then I want to update the same field which is in the another list item. Yes, I know to use timer job, but lack code idea. Could anyone help to give any sample code to update a particular column in other sharepoint
list items? Thanks!Hi Sam,
Timer job runs as per the schedule, in this case, when the user updates a field in SharePoint List, you want to update the same field in the different list,
how about using a Event Receiver, so you can have an ItemUpdated event in the source list, and when anything is updated, update the other list item as well.
Thanks

How to Loop through another list and update a column with SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow
Hi,
I am trying to get my head around the new 2013 Workflow Engine and SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow Text-Based Designer.
I have two lists.
List A has 2 columns: Title, Completed (Yes/No)
List B has 3 columns: Title, LookupListATitle, Completed (Yes/No)
All the 2013 Workflow components have been installed and configured and I am selecting the 2013 Workflow option in SPD
I am trying to set off a 2013 Workflow when an item in List A is edited to Loop through List B and select items where the LookupListATitle column's value is equal to the Title value of the current item, and set the value of the Completed column for those
items in ListB to "Yes".
I have the Workflow configured like this:
Stage: Stage 1
IF Current Item:Completed equals Yes
Loop: 1
The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: ListB:LookupListATitle equals Current Item: Title
Update item in ListB.
(The dialog options for the update item action as follows:
List: ListB
Field: Completed, Value: Yes
In the Find the List Item section
Field: LookupListATitle
Value: Current Item: Title)
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
When I update an item in ListA and set its Completed column to Yes, I would expect the Workflow to find all the items in List B where the Lookup column is equal to ListA's Title (there are 2) and update their Completed column to Yes. But it doesn't work.
When I look at the Workflow Status it says the Internal Status is "Canceled" and the information pop up has the following alien language (and may be truncated):
RequestorId: 95f03b62-8956-ac14-c5cf-dc98c89c589c. Details: System.ArgumentException: Invalid JSON primitive: Item001. Parameter name: value at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.ConvertStringToJsonNumber(String value) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.ReadPrimitive(String
type, XmlDictionaryReader jsonReader) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.JXMLToJsonValue(XmlDictionaryReader jsonReader) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.JXMLToJsonValue(Stream jsonStream, Byte[] jsonBytes)

executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
Unfortunately I don't have access to the server, logs etc.
I would love to find some tutorials, or any books on SharePoint Designer 2013 in general and Workflows in particular but my searches haven't turned up much so far apart from a pre-release Beginning SharePoint Workflows which is in its very early stages and
not much help yet.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to set up While Loops to iterate through a related list using SharePoint Designer 2013?
MarkHi,
I understand that you wanted to update the items in the other list (Participants) where the Course equals the Current Item.
You need to use “Call HTTP Web Service" action and “Build Dictionary" action to get the Maxid and then loop Participants to update the items.
You can follow the steps as below to achieve what you want:
Create a custom list named Courses, add columns: Title(Single line of text), Course ID(Single line of text), Course Finalised (Yes/No).
Create a custom list named Participants, add columns: Title(Single line of text), Course(Lookup), CourseFinalised (Yes/No).
Create workflow associated to Courses, start the workflow automatically when an item is created or changed.
Add conditions and actions:
The HTTP URL is set to
https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be order by Id and desc.
Then if Course Finalised is equal to Yes, the CourseFinalised of the associated items in Participants will be updated to Yes.

Hi,
I have requirement in Sp Designer 2010,Get List item URL and insert in another list as one column value.When open another list and click on same item column entry url will show the parent item information.
Here i have create work flow and insert item URL in another list but cant find appropriate item url information.I can easily make item url link through String builder in mail body with using current id and predefine link,but
when try to insert the same type of item link in another list where i cant find string builder for create custom url link,only get valur of Path,URL,Absolute URL and Relative server URL,all these links or not provide me exact
item link dispaly information.
So I opened SharePoint Designer and start creating the workflow associated to the list.
As there is some Field from source related to current item URL I start using it
Encoded Absolute URL – this one should be the one to use
Server Relative URL
URL Path
Unfortunately, none of these options were providing the correct link. Indeed, these options are providing an incorrect path:
Encoded Absolute URL
http://wfe1/Lists/bpf/1_.000
Server Relative URL
/Lists/bpf/1_.000
URL Path
/Lists/bpf/1_.000
As you can see, the item URL is composed by an ID while it should be http://wfe1/Lists/bpf/dispform.aspx?id=1
Hasan Jamal Siddiqui(MCTS,MCPD,ITIL@V3),Share Point Application Developer,TCSUnfortunately, [%Current Item:URL%] doesn't seem to be available from a "Site Workflow" associated to a List. I'm finding less advantages to doing a "Site Workflow" when I don't necessarily need to. One problem is the workflow is initiating
twice. I'm thinking I should have just created the workflow as a a "List Workflow."
I am going to try "Association Columns" -- that may work. Anyone have other suggestions? -
Hello.
I've been searching online for an answer and can't find one - hopefully someone can help...
I recently updated to Yosemite and decided on a general clear-out, so went through 1000's of documents, photos, emails, etc. I ended up deleting the all of the emails in my 'deleted items' folder. Since then, when I go into Outlook and hit the 'send/receive' tab it logs on as normal, but then gets stuck on 'updating message list' - it shows me that there are emails and how many, but will not download them.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Many thanks!As Outlook, part of MS Office, is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful. -
Workflow - how to update multiple list items
Is it possible to update up to 3 list items with the same information using a workflow? My scenario is where a company vehicle (registration number) has up to three drivers assigned to it - Driver Name 1, Driver Name 2 and Driver Name 3. I
have two separate lists - one for vehicles (fleet list) and one for drivers (driver database). In my workflow when an item is created or changed in the fleet list, I would like the current vehicle registration to be updated in all three driver records
in the driver database. I am not sure if I can do this as I am unsure of what my unique look up would be as I need to be able to tie a vehicle registration to a driver name. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Update one list item to another list using WF
hi
i have a SP Designer workflow which copies one list item to another list
but if i edit the 1st list this will copy a new item to another list i want the same item to be edited without making a new copy of the item.
Alen Austinso in the workflow separate between on edit and on new item, so mostly you will need to either do checking and have variable saved to know if you are editing only, or create 2 workflows one when you add new item and other when u edit (if needed)

Workflow to send email with link to another list
First it should not matter that I want to link to another list. In the e-mail, I put the link of the list like this:
<a href=http://mysite/mylist/EditForm.aspx?ID=[%Current Item:ID%]>Click Here</a>
Of course, the names have changed to protect me... :-)
What I am getting is:
<a href=http://mysite/mylist/EditForm.aspx?ID=<http://mysite/mylist/EditForm.aspx?ID=9>Click Here</a>
So, instead of just the current ID number, I am getting the complete link.
How can I fix that?
Is there any way to get to a list item by the title instead of the ID?
Thanks!
David L. CrooksHi David,
In the email you do not need <a> tags. You can just use the hyperlink action to add the link to the text. See screen shot below.
Hope this helps.

Workflow Copy To Another List - If Statements
Hi,
I have an if statement which once satisfied, I want it to copy to another list.
If each of these columns is either "Approved" or "Not Applicable" it should move the item to a new list.
This is what I have tried:
If Current Item:Column1 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column1 equals Not Applicable
and Current Item:Column2 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column2 equals Not Applicable
and Current Item:Column3 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column3 equals Not Applicable
and Current Item:Column4 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column4 equals Not Applicable
and Current Item:Column5 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column5 equals Not Applicable
and Current Item:Column6 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column6 equals Not Applicable
then Copy item in Current Item to List2
Sometimes one or two columns won't be set to Approved/Not Applicable and it will still copy the item.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks.Hi,
Break down you single if condition in multiple ifs (make them nested), like
If Current Item:Column1 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column1 equals Not Applicable (inside this if write) If Current Item:Column2 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column2 equals Not Applicable (Now, inside this if ) Current Item:Column3 equals Approved
or Current Item:Column3 equals Not Applicable and so on. Hope it will work. -
Lookup in another list when filtering in a view
Hello,
I need help with a public view for a list. This is my filter now:
<View Name="{F9165834-6860-4EB5-A7FE-D96CE334DF70}" Type="HTML" DisplayName="My group - not assigned" Url="/sites/RomaniaL1SD/Lists/Opened tickets/My group not assigned.aspx" Level="1" BaseViewID="1" ContentTypeID="0x" ImageUrl="/_layouts/15/images/generic.png?rev=23" ><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Modified" Ascending="FALSE"/><FieldRef Name="Requester" Ascending="FALSE"/></OrderBy><Where><And><Eq><FieldRef Name="Assignment_x0020_group"/><Value Type="Text">EMEIA Romania Service Desk Management Level 1</Value></Eq><IsNull><FieldRef Name="Assignment_x0020_Person"/></IsNull></And></Where></Query><ViewFields><FieldRef Name="ID"/><FieldRef Name="Requester"/><FieldRef Name="Short_x0020_description"/><FieldRef Name="Assignment_x0020_group"/><FieldRef Name="Assignment_x0020_Person"/><FieldRef Name="Ticket_x0020_Status"/><FieldRef Name="Ticket_x0020_Priority"/><FieldRef Name="Attachments"/></ViewFields><RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit><Aggregations Value="Off"/><JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink><XslLink Default="TRUE">main.xsl</XslLink><Toolbar Type="Standard"/></View></XmlDefinition>
So this view displays all the items where the Assignment group is "EMEIA Romania Service Desk Management Level 1" and the Assignment person "IsNull".
What I need is to modify this, to filter
by the Assignment group taken from another list and where in that list the person is [Me]
--- I have another list with a 1st Person column, and a 2nd column which contains an Assignment group for each person and this is where I want to look ---
Please let me know if this is feasible from SharePoint Designer.
Kind Regards,
AlexHi,
Per my understanding, you might want to filter the current list view with values from other list.
Modifying the CAML statement in SharePoint Designer won’t be capable of this requirement cause we will need to query data from other list.
In my opinion, custom code with CAML query would be required to query the “Assignment group” column and the “Assignment person” from the other list, then apply filter
to the current list view.
A possible solution is that you can use JavaScript Client Object Model to do the query job, with the retrieved values, filter the current list view using JavaScript.
The links below about
accessing list items using JavaScript Client Object Model would be helpful:

Populate people picker from another list
Hi,
I have a task list that i want to populate the assigned to column with lookup information based on another list, by matching the "Project Name" of the two lists by using SPD 2013, no coding
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot in advanceHi,
Per my knowledge, if you want to populate the Assigned To column value from another list in the New Item form in SharePoint Designer, then you need to use code to achieve this goal.
Here is the code example(my lookup column name is “lookup” in the task list and the People and Group field in the other list (ListA) is “User”):
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("select[Title='lookup']").blur(function()//change the Title to the column name of your lookup column
var val1=$("select[Title='lookup']").val();
getItems(val1);
function getItems(val){
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext('http://sp');//change the URL to your site
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('lookup test'); //change the list name to your list where the lookup column get values.
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\'ID\'/><Value Type=\'Counter\'>'+val+'</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>');
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(collListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
var listItemEnumerator = collListItem.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
for (var i = 0; i < oListItem.get_item("User").length; i++) {
var val2=oListItem.get_item("User")[i].get_lookupValue();
SetAndResolvePeoplePicker(val2);
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function SetAndResolvePeoplePicker(userAccountName) {
var controlName = "Assigned To";
var peoplePickerDiv = $("[id$='ClientPeoplePicker'][title='" + controlName + "']");
console.log(peoplePickerDiv);
var peoplePickerEditor = peoplePickerDiv.find("[title='" + controlName + "']");
var spPeoplePicker = SPClientPeoplePicker.SPClientPeoplePickerDict[peoplePickerDiv[0].id];
peoplePickerEditor.val(userAccountName);
spPeoplePicker.AddUnresolvedUserFromEditor(true);
spPeoplePicker.SetEnabledState(false);
$('.sp-peoplepicker-delImage').css('display','none');
</script>
After that, the values will be populated in the New Item form after you have selected the lookup column value.
If you just want to set the Assigned To filed value, then you can use workflow to update the column value after creating the task.

Copy list column information to another list
Hi Friends,
I have ListA with columnA and ListB with columnB
I would like to create a workflow that will copy columnA data to columnB of ListB. Please suggest how I can do itHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy list column information to another list.
You can use the out of the box actions to accomplish this with SharePoint.
If you only want to copy column information to another list, you can use the “Update List Item” action. In the action, you can get the current item value and set the value to another list item.
If you can to copy list item to another list, you can use the “Create List Item” action and select the other list.
If you want to delete the current list item, you can use the “Delete Item” action.

Hi All
I have one sharepoint list with huge data i.e with 20columns and more than 200 records with the fields .
Suppose lets consider there are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H columns.
Now i want to create one form with the fields A,C,E.
When the user enter the existing data of list for columns A,C..based on C value the E column value should change and update that particular item in the list.
Please guide me without visual web part can we acheive this by Sharepoint designer 2013 or what would be the preferable solution.
Please help me on this as it is very urgent from me..
Thanks in Advance
Sowjanya GHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update the list item in the same sharepoint list with particular condition with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I recommend to create workflow associated to the list and then start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
In the workflow, you can add condition and actions as below:
If current item: C equal to Test1
Set E to Test2
Then the value of the filed E will be changed based on the value of the filed C.
In addition, if you create the form using InfoPath, you can add rule to the filed C as below:
