Button configure as Update but doesn't update the document

Hi, 

I have a form for a document library.  I also created an Approval workflow for it.  Once the requester completed and created a form, the WF then starts by emailing the approver to approve/reject the request.  I have 2 optional button for Deny or Approve.  Each have rules that sets the Request-Status field to show approved or deny.  There is a button that I configure as "Action: Update Form".  

Well, I select the Approve/Reject button, then select the Update button, close the form and no data was updated.  I added back the Form's Save button in the top ribbon, using that Save button then saves the data.   The Update button on the ribbon also doesn't save the data.  

What is wrong with my Update button and how to fix this?

Thank you.

Parallel Steps

I've created a workflow that on a list called Notifications. My goal is to have the workflow expire a notification automatically on a given End Date. However, if necessary, I'd like for the notification to be expired manually prior to the End Date. My thought was to have the user update the item, adding in the New End Date. When the End Date = New End Date, the workflow can continue on.

In order to accomplish this, I added Parallel steps in the workflow. The first step should Wait for the New Date to equal the End Date (Manually Expired). The second step simply Pauses until the End Date (Automatically Expired). I set CompletionCondition = True on the Parallel step so that it if either of the parallel steps complete, it will Cancel the other step. 



The problem is that I can't get the first step to trigger. If I create a new notification and allow it to expire automatically, the parallel step in the workflow processes as expected. However, if I update the New End Date, it does not trigger the first parallel step. 

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Accesss 2010 Updated Overnight Sync to SharePoint 2010 Custom List

All,

Can an Access 2010 database be used as the basis for an external content type/external list and be kept up-to-date by Access?

I have a variety of InfoPath forms which have to be completed by all of my employees. I generally create an "Employee List" (SP Custom List). I have to manually create a new list of employee names each time for each app/process and updated with new employees as required.

An InfoPath 2010 is submitted to SP form library one of the fields is EmployeeName and FormStatus. Once the form is submitted a workflow runs against the form and updates the employee list to confirm that an employee has done a form. It matches against the employee name.

I've been able to query AD using VBS and put the results into an Access 2010 database. It has 1 table and several queries.

The db is updated overnight using Windows Task Scheduler.

If I could reference this, it would make this a lot easier.  Alternatively is there another way I can accomplish this?


Thanks

Can I use PowerShell from an InfoPath form?

I know I can write a C# program to use PowerShell (channel9.msdn.com/blogs/bruceky/how-to-embedding-powershell-within-a-c-application), so I tried to do the same on an infopath form.

I've added <Reference Include="System.Management.Automation" /> to the InfoPath form project file and I can get the System.Management.Automation.PowerShell object fine and see all the relevant functions. I've added the code to a button, but I don't get anything back, so I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a (security) limitation?

Anyone know if it would be possible at all to use PowerShell from an InfoPath form if I add C# code on the form?

Association columns in DocumentSet

There are two content types - 'DocSets' for the document set and 'Docs' for the documents inside it. 'Docs' content type consists of two columns: 'Title' and 'Document Type' (Choice)

I created a reusable workflow and associated it with 'DocSets' content type. Then I created association column 'Document Type' from the 'Docs' content type to use it further in workflow.

When I try to use command 'Wait for Document Type to equal Agreement' nothing happens. Only the following record in history: 'Waiting on Document Type'

What I'm doing wrong? How can I use results of the association column?

Thanks

Here is what I am looking for: I have an InfoPath form with a dropdown box. In the dropdown, users will choose their selection which are individual links. The links go to different webpages with images on them.  I would like for the selected webpage to load on the same page as the dropdown box.  I am thinking of using a Page Viewer webpart.  If this will not work, I was thinking of using the InfoPath dropdown to retrieve tables. 

Thanks,

"When a Task Expires" Workflow does not get called again after ReAssigning Task to backup Approver

I copied and modify the Custom Collect Signature workflow and attached it to a content type.  I went in to the Change the behavior of a single task" step to reassig the task to a backup approver when a task expires for the original approver in the "When  Task Expires" step.  The backup approver is a lookup Sharepoint list.  The duration is 1 day for the approver to approve the task.  On the first time around  "When  Task Expires" step is triggered.  In that step the task is reassigned to the backup approver and  an email is sent to the original approver and backup approver.  All is working fine so far after receiving the emails and logging to the workflow history list.  However, after the task has been reassigned the  "When  Task Expires" step never gets called again although it's the same due date as the original approver.  Can anyone help with this issue?  The appoval process is a serial approval process.  

Thanks

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Stuck

June 19, 2014, 4:41 am

I have created a workflow which creates tasks for people to complete once they have filled in the relevant sections of a Word document.  I have Check In/Out enabled on the library.  If someone forgets to check in the document and then completes their Task then the next Task does not get created.  I have previously noticed that once the document is checked back in the workflow does continue after a short wait.  So I am assuming that the Workflow or Workflow Failover timer job is what gets it going again.  However, the same scenario happened yesterday morning but it did not set the workflow moving again until 00:30 this morning.  Is there another timer job which could have done this as I could do with getting things moving quicker than this should they get stuck again.

Thanks for any help

Sharepoint: Syncing dates in excel columns with Project calendar.

June 20, 2014, 2:18 am

Hi

I am two questions if you have some time to answer:

First question: I am trying to create a detailed workflow for a Document App.  I basically want to sync dates from certain columns from a number of SharePoint excel spreadsheetswith the calendar on SharePoint for my project.  The dates in the excel spreadsheet will continually change depending on the progress of the project due to cell formulas therefore i need those dates to change also in theproject calendar.  I am not sure if this can be generated in a workflow (?) or indeed if this is possible at all???  

I have tried to use the "Add a Workflow" link to try the above but it does not go into enough detail for me. I have SharePoint Designer installed but i am unsure of how to go about doing this.

Second question: Is there a way to generate a workflow to sync tasks in the Tasks App assigned with "to be completed by" dates with the Project calendar?  I would like to be able to create a task, assign it to someone with a due date and then have that task appear in the project calendar.

I would very much appreciate any help you could provide me with this.


By the way, i think SharePoint is fantastic. It will make our organisation much more efficient. Thank you!

Thank you

Exporting Repeating Section to Excel from Sharepoint List

Hello all,I am using Infopath 2013 and Sharepoint 2013 - I have a very simple form that allows people to enter a work log (just a text field) and once entered the date and user are appended and visible in the form as history in a repeating section so you can see the work that was done in the past. The repeating fields show in Sharepoint just fine - however we are wanting to export the Sharepoint List to Excel and for some reason the repeating field information never exports to excel properly and is always left out - I've looked around numerous places but can't seem to figure out if this is a possibility. Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting the fields to export to excel for reporting purposes. <o:p></o:p>

Hi,

I my scenario, we need to declare the document as a record through Approval workflow.

1. We have one content approval workflow, we are triggering the workflow when the item is updated.

2. here we are change some fields, like date, metadata and approval manager.

3. Once the manager is approved the we are declaring the document as a record.

4. the document is successfully declared as a record.

Here the problem is... after the record declared the publishing state is in "Draft" mode... how to change this as "Approved" mode.

Once a document is declared as a record we can't able to publish a document...

Please share your Ideas.

Many Thanks,

Britto.

workflow condition Assigned To is not empty?

Is there a way in a work flow to check if an Assigned To field (person/group) is empty in SharePoint Designer 2013 text-based workflow? The only option I appear to be able to have is to the use of the equal operator, then I must choose a lookup value.

There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.
