Workflow Shows as 'In Progress' after Workflow has been completed.

Hello All,
I have created a custom workflow using SharePoint Designer. Within this workflow I have multiple 'approval process' tasks. In theory this was so that once the first user had approved the item then the next would be prompted to approve the item, and
so on. The users that the item must be approved by are set when the item is submitted initially.
Just so anyone reading this knows I have no formal experience/education in SharePoint workflow design, but I would like to think I know my way around SharePoint(in general) at this point.
My problem is, the company I work for is just starting out using SharePoint workflows, and from what I understand workflows that are 'In Progress' are related to server performance. I noticed today that there are 5 items in the list which
under the 'workflow status' column display that they are 'In Progress' which is entirely correct. However, when I go to -> 'List Settings' -> 'Workflow Settings' this workflow is showing 8 workflows 'In Progress'.
Thank you to anyone who is able to help me with this,
James

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that workflow shows as 'In Progress' after Workflow has been completed.
To send the task one by one, you can select one at a time(serial) when you select Task Process Participants.
Per my knowleadge, when you go to -> 'List Settings' -> 'Workflow Settings', it show all the workflows you associated to the list.
To see the running workflow, you need to select an item, right click the title, and then select the workflow.
However, each workflow enstance can only start once on an item.  In other word, you can not start the same workflow again untill the previous one is completed.
As you said, workflow shows as 'In Progress'.
Please make sure all the users have approved the tasks.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

  • How do I lock a PDF form field after it has been completed by a user?

    We have a problem with privacy on our downloadable Pdf Forms for customers, they are required to complete personal details within the Pdf Form Fields and then must be processed by our account team.
    But we would require customer completed forms to be disabled from any third party or employee tampering with the entered details.
    Once the data has been input into the form provided online and saved and sent-on it needs to be read ONLY from then on!
    Help please, Chris.

    It depends how secure they need to be. You could include a script in the form which sets the fields to be read-only when the form is submitted, but that can easily be bypassed (and may not be respected by third party PDF applications). Search this forum topic for examples, it's been asked many times before.
    If you have Acrobat you can flatten a form, turning the fields into regular page content, but that's not possible in Adobe Reader X. While the flattened page can no longer be edited in Reader, it can still be edited in Acrobat via the touchup tools, so for complete security you would need to apply encryption to the flattened PDF (via a certifying signature or DRM).

  • How to edit/modify workflow task after it has been completed?

    My workflow spawns a couple tasks and once those tasks are completed, they become non-modifiable. If the user made a mistake by entering wrong details while completing the task and would like to change it later, he cannot do so once he hits the complete
    button. This is happening in SharePoint 2010.
    We were using SharePoint 2007 earlier when this wasn't the case. The tasks could be modified even after they were completed. I would like to have the same behavior in 2010 too. Please suggest how can I do it? There should be some task settings to enable
    modification but I just can't find them. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience. Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Thanks,

  • Why does maverick show download on purchases after it has been installed

    installed maverick os from app store, completes download, after restart, when i go back into app store purchases, it has download in the right hand side column, anyone else had the same problem.

    bampy 1 wrote:
    Hi, no its not there, i have tried about 3 times, press download in the app store, it takes a couple of hours to download, says its downloaded, then says installing, which takes about another 2 hours, asks to restart, when it restarts the wave desktop is on the mac, but when you go back into app store, it has the download prompt again.
    As it would with any App once you have purchased it.  Once you buy something in the App store it is linked to your AppleID - you can redownload as many times as you wish or need to, install it on other machines without paying again, restore a machine as needed without paying again, and so on.  The "buy" changes to "download" since you will not pay to re-download anything once you have boutht the license for it.

  • Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged

    Hi,
    I am integrating workflow with the HR Processes and Forms using HCM.
    The process is new hiring and in configuration I have given the workflow name which is copy of the standard workflow(WS18900008). The event used is draft_created.
    When I execute the process and press the Save Draft, everything goes fine, the workflow gets completed but for the step Save Form Data(WS17900260) throws the following error:
    Executing Batch work Item: Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged.
    The task is TS17900108.
    Not able to understand what is this error and to which it is related.
    Pls help.

    Look for SAP Notes as this is SAP standard code.
    Short Text
    Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
    Diagnosis
    When executing the workflow with the ID , the transaction brackets were destroyed by a commit command ('C') or a rollback work command ('R'). This command ('') was stopped from the implementation program of the object type. Access takes place, for example, when a condition is evaluated or when the container operation is executed. Access may only have a read character which is why a commit or rollback work command is not necessary.
    System Response
    The system has written a log entry. Uncontrolled commit or rollback work commands can affect the restart function of the workflow system. This restart function is only necessary in the case of errors. The current workflow instance is executed further.
    Procedure
    Check the implementation program of the object types and remove the corresponding ABAP instructions.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

  • How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been

    Hi,
    How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been done GR and LIV? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Price anyway cannot be changed once GR is posted on the PO item, it can be changed only by cancelling the GR, the same applies to IR too.
    But quantity can be changed at any time.
    So if you are looking at blocking qty too, then a customized message through save exit is the option, I am not aware of any standard SAP messages that can be configured to achieve this..

  • Set Cursor.vi fails after it has been called for 30 different panel refs in LV 7.1.1

    Make sure both attached files (Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi, SimpleVI.vi) are in the same folder. Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi notice that the -3 error code is returned from "Set Cursor.vi" after it has been called with 30 different panel refs. If "Set Cursor.vi" is replaced with "Set Busy.vi" the same error occurs.Is there a workaround for this problem other that setting the cursor image manually in user32.dll? I must be able to open more than 30 panels and set them all to busy. In the test case I used a single VI, simply to demonstrate the error.

    This bug is fixed in LabVIEW 8.0 and later.  Unfortunately, I know of no workaround in LabVIEW 7.x.  When I encountered this bug in one of my UIs in LabVIEW 7.x, my "fix" was simply to ignore the error outputs from the cursor VIs, and to live with the fact that I had no custom cursors after 30 windows had been opened.
