Publish a major version after custom approval workflow

Posted By: Posted Date: October 25, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

Hi,

I want to create a custom approval workflow in SharePoint Designer that allows me to use the "Collect Data From a User" action. After data has been collected and if the document has been "approved" I want to publish a Major Version of the document. Until that point I want the document to be in draft. The whole idea is that certain users cannot see the document until it has been approved.

How do I manage to publish a major version of a document after completion of the custom SPD workflow? There doesn't seem to be an action that allows me to change the version. Is there a workaround I need to use?

Thanks

Controlling Content Approval in custom SPD workflow

I've designed a custom workflow using SharePoint Designer 2007 on MOSS 2007 to perform the following: User uploads a document to a document library. Workflow triggers and waits for designated Approvers to either Approve or Reject the document. IF REJECTED, the user that uploaded the document is sent an e-mail and the document is deleted from the document library. IF APPROVED, the document is moved to a second, "secured" document library. This all works fine except for one thing. I want to record in a custom column who actually approved the document. As the workflow starts as soon as the document is uploaded to the document library then the workflow is running under the context of that user - not the user who approves or rejects the document. Does anyone have any idea how I could capture who approves this document through my custom SPD workflow?

Custom approval workflow

I am new in sharepoint technology.

I want to create new workflow with n levels of approval, in MOSS 2007.

I want to fetch the users from this list according to their approval level and want to fire its approval in that sequence.

How do i can do this?

Thank you in advanced

Proper setup using Infopath and Custom Workflow using VS 2008

Hi,

I have been struggling for a couple of days, trying to set up a decent
structure for an Infopath project using a custom workflow using Visual Studio 2008.

I had a solution with two projects:

1) Sharepoint 2007 Workflow

2) Infopath 2007 form w/code-behind.

I included the xsn, in the VS solution, but after a day or two,
something went wrong, and I lost some work. I still do not know what
happened, but I could not get my changes to persist afterthat Doing research I have read that this
stucture, using Infopath xsn, within VS does not work correctly with Source
Control. I am using VSS.

So I since made a change to the set-up so that the .xsn (form template) is separate from
Visual Studio. However, I need to leave the code-behind in VS, since I need to debug
it.

This is my latest problem. I have been unable to attach to the correct
process, as VS generates cachse files, and who knows what else.

My question is simple. What is the supported method for debugging InfoPath
code/behind, which uses a Sharepiont Workflow?

I just also want to say that one should not have
to spend a few days just trying to setup a working development environment.

This should be trouble-free, but it is far from being so. I

Serial approval workflow keeps running

I have a serial approval workflow created out of the box. The setting cancell this workflow when the document is rejected is selected. But if one of the approvers rejects it the workflow keeps running. After this is it will give acces denied errors for the other approvers.

So for example what is happening. The workflow is started and sends a email to persone 1. This persone approves so the workflow sends a email to persone 2. Persone 2 decided to reject the document. Now i want the workflow to be cancelled, but it keep running and sends a email to persone 3 for approval. If persone 3 opens the workflow he get's a acces denied error, i guess because of the reject.

Anyone has a idea what is happening here?

"Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727'.... " issue and use custom config file

Hi, My Winform applilcation has used Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common namespace(assembly :Microsoft.Sqlserver.smo.dll/Microsoft.Sqlserver.ConnectionInfo.dll) and developed in .NET 4.0. Problem:Application is throw an exception when it tries to use above assembly reference methods. Full error text is shown below, "Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

Custom sequence activity deriving from System.Workflow.Activities.SequenceActivity

Hi, I try to create custom sequence activity. I found some sample (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wfprerelease/thread/f54e8eb2-29d9-46f6-ad96-766fe6fad333/). But this custom activity looks ugly (to separate nested activity using ellipses instead of arrows). My question is - how to create custom sequence activity, which will look like sequence activity. I also found this sample - <ContentPresenter x:Uid="ContentPresenter_1" Content="{Binding}" Style="{x:Static sacdt:DesignerStylesDictionary.SequenceStyle}"/> When I used this ContentPresenter my custom activity looks like System.Workflow.Activities.SequenceActivity, but I couldn't put on it another activity. I also created class, which derives from System.Workflow.Activities.SequenceActivity, but I couldn't see it in toolbox. My question is - how to create class, which derives from System.Workflow.Activities.SequenceActivity and is visible in toolbox or how to use ContentPresenter for sequence activity, which allows put on itself another activity.

Should I use WWF for custom document approval workflows?

Before I dive into yet another behemoth MS framework, maybe a little guidance for the simple but dynamic workflows that I will need to be dealing with. Document approval with n approvers both sequential and parallel QA assignment of helpdesk case to check that case was handled properly (needs to add disposition). Collaboration workflow where domain object may pass between several people to complete pieces of the job and result in a fully-qualified dohickey when the workflow ends. My strong impression from some of the other posts I have read here is that WWF would be overkill and possibly even a nightmare compared with a home-grown solution here. Our use cases primarily will deal with activities going to people to complete and pass to the next level... Thanks a ton! Dave

Workflow Approval Process

I have created a workflow for approval of a list. I have listed two persons who can approve/reject and item. My intent was to have either person be the appover. Sharepoint apparently see's it differently; they need both persons to approve before the item can be finalized as either rejected or approved. Is there a way to make it so that one of two people listed can approve a partiuclar workflow process?????? Thanks in advance, and yes, I am very, very new at this!

Any good Approval-type workflow tutorials for VS 2010?

Greetings. I'm looking for some good tutorials (or books) on creating SharePoint 2010 Approval workflows in Visual Studio 2010. I've spent a few hours digging through the search results on bing/google, but almost all of the examples (including content from Microsoft) show a very simple workflow in Visual Studio 2010 that doesn't contain approval steps. I am looking for a more comprehensive tutorial on how to build a workflow that contains approval steps and evaluates the column values (i.e. evaluate a list column if(Total Cost > 10000)) to determine branching. InfoPath integration is a bonus but not required. Anyone have any good links with solid tutorials? Thanks in advance.
