Hi Sir/Mam,
I have a work flow running on a list, when a task is Rejected at a stage then the Workflow status is set to "Completed". Instead of this I want the Status to remain as "In Progress", so that in future after the modification of the document the Approver may Approve it and then take it to the next stages. This is not possible if the Workflow is set to "Completed".
Can you please suggest an easy way to do this
Thanks in Advance

HI Folks,
I have a scenario where i need to develop a 6 stage approval workflow(sequential) using WWF and depoly it to sharepoint. Everythigns fine till here.
Now we look ahead to change the Status field on the documents library which actually has the Workflow Name as the column name and its value being In Progress, depending on the stage of approval. Like(Approved 1, Approved 2, Approved 3.)
And if rejected the status should be rejected than Completed. Any idea how can we update this column of the List item.
I have tried item[workflowProperties.Workflow.ParentAssociation.Name]="Approved 1";
But this throws an error saying input string is not in a correct format.
Any information would be of great help :)
Thanks

Hi,
I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions option) and on the completion of the workflow the Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using Start this workflow when a new item is created / Start this workflow when an item is changed options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval) option to true.
We use SharePoint 2007 in our organisation, and are developing some simple Workflows with SharePoint Designer. The thing is that, even the most simple workflows, are not running consistent. Sometimes the workflow goes from 'in process' to 'completed', but mostly the status of the workflow keeps 'Starting'
I read many forums about this isseue, but stiil I have no idea what i'm doing wrong. Somewhere I got the tip to put a delay in the action of the workflow, but the result is not satisfied.
Can someone give me a tip?
With kind regards, Jurgen
I have developed a sharepoint approval workflow using VS.NET 2008. Workflow fires when any new item is created. Three parallel task is created and waiting for approval.
Workflow will only completed when all three approvers approves/completes their task. I want to change the status (denied) of the workflow every tuesday 11:59PM if any one of the approval is pending. This denial work I want to perform by programatically within the workflow.
so I need suggestion how do I achieve the above scenario?
Do I write any timer job to monitor workflow status on every tuesday 11:59PM and denied as per the logic mentioned above.
or
Do I encaptualte the denial logic withing the workflow itself?
Please suggest a way to solve the problem...
Hello All
I am trying to update the task status automatically after a list item is approved without much luck. I need to set the task status to "completed" without having to manually hitting the "complete task" button, so the next person in line can approve the list item.
How can I change the status of a task using SharePoint Designer 2010?
In my SharePoint Designer task editor I have:
<code>
if Current Item:Approval Status equals 0;Approved
---I need to add a line in here that updates the task status to "completed"
Assign Approve list item to User2
</code>
Thank you all in advance.
Regards

Hello,
I've been pounding my head against the desk about this all afternoon. I have a simple workflow attached to a document library that runs on item creation. All it does is start the approval process on the current item and emails me and a few other people a task (in parallel). I have another workflow attached to the document library that runs on modify and it looks to see what the Approval Status of the Current Item is. If the Approval Status is Approved, the workflow copies the item to another library then deletes the current item. Same with rejected (only sends it to another library). Pending does nothing. I modified the Completed step in the approval workflow to modify the item (to make sure the second workflow triggers)
All that works except, no matter what the Approval Status is alway Approved! Even when first create the item and run the approval process, the item comes out as approved. I even explicately set the Approval Status to Pending at the beginning of the first WF, but right after that, the item reverts back to being Approved. How do I make the item be Pending until everyone has responded to the approval task? I kinda thought that was the default procedure...
Thanks!
Hi
I am trying to show the workflow stat in my form by using a recieve data connection. The only thing I get shown in my field is 0, no matter what.
Is it possible to show Approval staten, i.e. "Pending", "Draft", "Rejected", "Approved" in a read only in a read only field in my form?
We have created a two-level custom workflow using SPD as follows:
Submitter submits request form in a form libraryàApprover A approves/rejectsàApprover B approves/rejectsàSubmitter receives an email and workflow stops
Exception: If Approver A rejectsàsubmitter receives email and workflow stops
Question: Users may have noticed that the default view of the form library has a column with the same name as the workflow. Let us call our workflow as “WF1” So the default view of the form library would show a column named WF1. When yo
The following article describes how to change view of a browser enabled InfoPath form based on the current status of a workflow: Design a form to respond to a workflow status The article uses an Out-of-the-box (OOB) workflow and its workflow column.
But, I have created a custom workflow using SharePoint Designer (SPD) and according to the some responses to my following post, , the workflow column in a custom workflow cannot be modified to display the values “Approved”, “Rejected” etc.
How can I then change the views of a browser enabled InfoPath form based on the current status of a workflow. I want to display the form as follows:
