How can you reassign a workflow task in SharePoint 2013 (online)? I found some discussions online about how to do this, but I don't see this option using SP2013. Note the "Reassignment" checkbox from this screenshot (which I think is from 2010).

Getting "InvalidData" error when I register workflow manager with Sharepoint
Hi,
For my SharePoint 2013 farm running on 3 backend servers, I have successfully installed Workflow Manager and Service Bus Server components on all 3 backend servers and Workflow manager Client on 2 front end servers. When I run, "Get-WfFarmStatus" I get the Workflow service running. I have created a single content web application which is working fine. However, when I register the workflow manager farm with the SharePoint Content WebApp, I get the below error.
I have ensured that the xml for the workflow Uri renders xml as expected before running this command. Looking forward for your help.

Workflow cannot create a "Link to a Document" item in Document Library
The case:
In SharePoint online (Enterprise E3).
When adding a document to a document library a workflows is started. This workflow will - based on specific attributes / metadata - call a webservice that stores the added document in a external document management system, a URL to the document will be returned.
Based on that URL I want to create a "Link to a Document" item in the same document library with the returned URL as a hyperlink. To do this I set the "Allow management of content types" option to "Yes" in the Advanced Library
Settings and added the existing site content type "Link to a Document" to the Document Library.
Finally, when everything is successful, the workflow will delete the original document.
The problem:
The workflow isn't able to create / add the "link to a document" item into the Document Library due to permission restrictions, or so it seems. I receive the following notification in the workflow activity window:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request:
HTTP Unauthorized to http://<url>.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/client.svc/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/<doclibname>')/Files/Add(url='TestDocument.aspx') Correlation Id: a2066ac5-ca6f-1993-8785-3c8b487d4fce Instance Id: b2c10344-7e19-48a7-a26d-3263a65e45f1
Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.
Note that:
- In the same Workflow on the same Document Library I've added a "Create item" action for a Document (not for a "Link to a document" item) which is added successfully to the Document Library.
- When I create a "Link to a Document" item manually in the specific Document Library everything works fine.
I already checked the following link: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822159.aspx.
- allowing the workflow to use app permissions (if relevant?!) didn't resolve the problem
- for granting full control permission to a workflow, I'm not sure that I performed these step correctly.
I'm not sure how to set the scope URL in the Permission Request XML to grant full control permission.
Nevertheless, I'm not sure if this is going to resolve my problem either way.
Thanks in advance,
DR.

Infopath 2013 Data Connection Wizard to Sharepoint 2013 - The operation could not be completed (already have and using root site)
Hi,
I'm having problem when trying to create a new data connection to my sharepoint 2013 sites from Infopath 2013. It says"The operation could not be completed".
Have read from the forums and all around the internet about the issue, and everyone is suggesting to make sure that we have an active site at the root.
Well, I have a root site, and in fact, I am using the root '/' for my main sharepoint site since the beginning. So, this is not the cause of my problem.
The site is normally working, no problem seen. I can open it from browser normally using hostnames, IP, etc. Allavailable infopath forms in it still working normally.
The problem is when I try to create a new data connection since a week ago. Before, everything was normal, I can create any data connection to my sharepoint normally. And when I edit my already established data connection, no problem at all.
So the problem, I think, purely lays on the 'create new data connection wizard'.
Any one can help me with this issue? I think some other people also experiencing this, but still no solution found.
Thank you so much.. :)

How to customize an edit for without using the Ribbon
Hi
How can I access a edit form of a document library without the use of a Ribbon ?
I have a customer who has decided that the ribbon must be disabled and so I cannot get to an edit form to modify it.Is there a way accessing the edit form to modify it with out the use of a ribbon ie List Tab of ribbon -> form web parts -> Default Edit Form.
Or even add a customised form without the ribbon ?
Thanks

Why the form opens up in my local PC Infopath and not the browser using encoded url?
Hi,
I have a custom form that submits to SP13 document library. I also has a custom approval workflow for this that sends the encoded url field to approvers. As I test the workflow, I click on the url send in the email, it starts by opening a browser and then it asks if I want to open or save the form. I click to open, then it opens up on my PC using Infopath. I expect this to open up in a browser because it's supposed to be a browser form.
If I click to edit the form(or approve the form) from the Document Library list in the browser then it opens up the form with data in the browser.
How would this work for users who don't have Infopath installed? HOw can I configured it so when clicking on the Encoded url it would always opens up in a browser even if I have InfoPath installed?
Thank you.

Sharepoint Workflow Permission Problem While Sending Mail
Hello,
I have a very basic problem with workflow. I have a list and when user enter a record he/she should be received a mail. The situation is:
* If user has edit permission over the site and list it sends mail
* If user has read permission over the site and edit permission on the list it doesnt send with 401 unauthorized error.
I cannot give each user edit permission over the site due to security issues. What is the problem ?
thanks in advance

Custom Master in Custom Edit Form in SharePoint
Hi,
I am creating a Custom Edit Form in SPD 2013. I am creating this form in Site Pages. For this form, I want to use a Custom Master page, since I want to have custom js file and css file in this master, which may not be possible in default.master. But, if I am using a custom master, I am getting an error, saying "No item exists at this url. It may have been deleted or renamed by another user.". When I searched for this error, I found that we cannot use ID in the query string, so we have to use a different name for the query string parameter. Though, I tried this and also tried putting the custom form in the forms folder of the library itself, still it is not working. Then I tried reverting the custom master to default.master, it works. So my question is, can't we use Custom Master for Custom Edit form in SP, though this works for Custom New Form. I tried searching a lot, but got no solution. I cannot use server side code. So, I need to do it in SPD only. Can anyone please help me with this?
Also, in the normal custom master, the MasterPageFile is ~masterurl/default.master. I checked for this master page in the Master Page Gallery, but couldn't find it. This master seems to be located in TEMPLATES/GLOBAL folder of the server. So, is the token ~masterurl in server location or master page gallery? My custom master is based on minimal.master in master page gallery. Please help.↧

Unable to Create Workflows with either SharePoint Designer 2010 or 2013 to our SharePoint Online Service
Hey there
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on our current issue using SharePoint Online (hope this question is in the correct place)
We are using SharePoint Online and I believe we are using the SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU - which I believe is the A2 Free plan.
I have being trying to get my head around the new changes (as we currently run a standalone 2010 deployment) and decided to see what workflow options I had. I had read to use SharePoint Designer 2013 with the online service and after installation opened the package, connected to the site and tried to create a simple email workflow. I first saw a loading screen stating
"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Activities, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=731bf3856ad364e35. Contact your server administrator for more information."
after this it tried loading some metadata and then I saw:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
I close SPD down and rebooted and then same happened again and continues too.
After research I applied a hotfix that was known to resolve the issue, but it still remains. I also tried running SPD in admin mode but the same still happens.
Lastly I tried selecting workflows 2010 from the drop down field when creating the workflow to see what happened. I go the same. I also keep getting the following as a pop from time to time.
The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c. Contact your server administrator for more information.
I have also tried to do the same in SharePoint Designer 2010, but receive the same massages.
What should I be looking at or doing to help rectify this?

Spent an hour on phone with M$ support, only to be told it's my fault and I have to re-design my WF...if my WF gets any simpler I'll have to use carrier pigeons to get messages to customers!
I've Googled the error message, results suggest that User Profile Syn is out of whack but M$ support swears up & down our sync is working fine.
Anyone?

Switching from text view to visual view in SharePoint Designer 2013 crashes 100% of the time
Whenever I am in SharePoint Designer 2013 and try to switch a workflow from text view to visual view, SharePoint Designer crashes. Text workflows work fine. I have tried any of the solutions that I could find including:
- Removing KB2837633 and 2768006 (neither were installed)
- Installing SharePoint Designer 2013 SP1 (KB2817441)
- Performing a "Repair" on both SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visio 2013
- Clearing the caches in the AppData directory
- Setting Visual as the default mode for workflows to open in (so, not exactly switching, but trying to open it directly in the visual view)
Event viewer reports that it is an issue with Microsoft.Web.Authoring.ni.dll which throws an unhandled exception, System.AccessViolationException.
This is the error message:
System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467261
Message=Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Source=Microsoft.Web.Authoring
StackTrace:

There is no InnerException.
Can anyone suggest something else to try?

Error 25004 installing SharePoint Designer 2013 (system error -2147217387)
Hi,
While installing SharePoint Designer 2013 RTM without any preview installed I have this error :
Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most
likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed. (System error: -2147217387)
My office version is 15.0.4615.1000
I found the answer about removing an entry in the registry, but I don't have any with the specified prefix. In my case, I suppose that my Office version is to up to date for a designer rtm installation. So is there an updated version of SharePoint designer ?
Thanks for any suggestion, I don't feel like unstalling Office.

Custom Forms : Attachment field cannot be updated.
Custom new/edit form is created using the "New" button under Forms sections of Lists and Libraries in SharePoint Designer 2013. No additional customization has been done. (consider it performed on a simple custom list).
Files are attached using this form and the item is attempted to save with validation errors (example: Title column empty). The attachments disappear and an error message is displayed on top of the page "Attachment field cannot be updated."
This issue occurs even with SharePoint Online. Is there any solution?

Displaying feedbacks from reviewers to approver
Hello,
My requirement is to design a simple document approval workflow with following requirements:
1. Initiator shall initiate the workflow manually in a document library and select the manual reviewers (multiple) and a approver.
2. Workflow will send the document to all reviewers at a time.
3. Once all reviewers submitted their feedbacks, workflow will send the document to approver for approval. Workflow shall display all feedback to approver.
I've successfully completed all the steps except one thing which is to display all feedback to approver. I've tried all the task actions.
Can anyone guide how to customize the approval form to display all the feedback?
As almost all of the requirements are achievable using SPD workflow so i'm not much interested to go for VS workflow unless SPD doesn't provide any functionality to display multiple feedback on the approver form.
