Workflow triggered to run on a specific day-of-week

Posted By: Posted Date: April 10, 2011 Points: 0 Category :C#

Hi Everyone:

I am using SPD not Visual Studio...

I need to create a SharePoint workflow that runs every Sunday on a list and sends a reminder email to users of inclomplete tasks. I read the information in the following link and it explains how to get workflows to trigger on a date based on number of days past item creation. So any ideas on how I use this to set the due date to trigger every Sunday until item is completed?

Setting permissions of a specific SharePoint workflow

We have a very simple workflow whereby an document placed in a public library (INBOX) is moved it to a private library (VERIFY) and then deleted. The workflow works correctly when someone who has access to the VERIFY library drops a record into the INBOX library. However it does not work when the user does not have access to the VERIFY library.

I was told that I need to "set the AD group associated with a specific SharePoint workflow" but cannot find any reference to this in SPD.

Thanks.

I need a workflow triggered by a workflow...how do I design this? Beginner question

I've added the Approval workflow to a forms library and it generates the necessary tasks and emails for 2 levels (serial) of Approval on the form. When the form has been approved the 2nd time, I want it to trigger another workflow that notifies a 3rd person of the existence of the form and assigns her a separate non-approval task. I'm creating it in SharePoint Designer, and I can do most of it, but I'm not sure what field I'm looking for, at the beginning in order to start the workflow. Currently, there is no column for Approval Status in the form library, only a column that shows the status of the workflow (In Progress or Approved). I tried If Workflow Status equals Approved then email.... but that didn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm looking for the data source field and the list item field and value, I guess.

Workflow designed for infopath 2007 fails when triggered by infopath 2010

I have a workflow that changes the permissions on an infopath form that is saved to a library. When the form is saved to the library with infopath 2010 the workflow fails with the following error: DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.DPWorkflowException: Error loading form data file. Likely causes: this file is not a valid InfoPath Form! ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xm I have tried to uninstall infopath 2010 and office 2010 then install infopath 2007 and the workflow still fails. Can someone help me either figure out what I need to change on the workflow for it to function with infopath 2010 or what the uninstaller is missing when removing the office 2010.

workflow triggered during upload but after the user enters values in the properties dialog

ÃÂ

1)ÃÂ When "Start this workflow when a new item is created" option is selected the workflow gets triggered as soon as the file is uploaded and even before the 'edit properties' dialog is displayed.ÃÂ I want the workflow to be triggered after the properties are entered by the user on upload.

ÃÂ

2) Selecting "Start this workflow when an item is changed." option also does not trigger the workflow during upload.ÃÂ This triggers only when the user explicitly selects 'Edit Properties' dialog.

ÃÂ

So my question is, how to get the workflow triggered during upload but after the user enters values in the prop

i'm using wss 3.0 and infopath 2007.

i have a form that need to be approved by a specific approver.

form name, created by and aprrover's name.

now i need the workflow to look up for the name of the approver and send an "assigned a to-do item" to the specific approver of the form

Restricting the Workflow to get executed in specific Front End Server of a farm

We are using a third party Licensed Workflow Software which runs on top of SharePoint. It is a declarative Workflow model hence uses SharePoint to execute the Workflows. In the Production Environment, we have a Server FARM with 4 Front End Servers. We have got Production License for only two Front End Servers. Is there any way to restrict the SharePoint Workflow to get executed only in the 2 Servers which has got the license.

Currently we are getting error when workflow tries to get executed in a Server which does not have the License.

Foundations: Workflow Services for Local Communication

This month's column describes how to use WCF for communication between a workflow and a host application in Windows Workflow Foundation 3. This knowledge should help developers with their efforts using WF3 and prepare them for WF4, where WCF is the only abstraction over queues (referred to as "bookmarks" in WF4) that ships with the framework.
