I am creating a simple workflow using SharePoint Designer that triggers when a user uploads a new Document to a library. This workflow assigns a task to multiple users and then waits until those tasks are complete. Once they are complete it then assigns another task to different users and then waits until those tasks are complete. It rep...
I'm using Workflow Foundation. I have a requirement to allow administrative users to restart a workflow at a particular activity. This might be the case if a user forgot to do something during some data entry at that activity and needs to go back in and fix it. Is there any way to do this? It seems I'd need to set the ExecutionStatus of...
Hi guys - I think I haven't been able to define my question properly. I've been doing a bit of reading on google applications and the idea of integrating their applications such to form a complete product. Especially after reading case studies of small companies shifting to google and 'customising' google applications. Basically I have ...
'Block' in the sense that the user is shown the "Workflow is starting" page while the workflow runs. Is there a model for 'asynchronous' workflows where a potential long running workflow trundles away reporting its progress to the history list and maybe informing the originator that the process has finished via email. History list and ...
On the WrkStat.aspx page I would like to add emphasis to the status of each approval stage. e.g. I want to show "Approved" in green and "Rejected" text in red. I tried editing the page in SharePoint Designer but it gives an error about application.master. Does anyone know how to add color to this wrkstat.aspx page or any custom workfl...

I've been working on a web application that is basically a CRUD application (Create, Read, Update, Delete). Recently, I've started working on what I'm calling an "approval workflow". Basically, a request is generated for a material and then sent for approval to a manager. Depending on what is requested, different people need to approve t...
I can open the DefaultTemplate.xaml that was installed as part of our TFS 2010 RC setup. I created a copy of this template called ApplicationTemplate.xaml and modified it slightly, using the workflow designer in Visual Studio. Now, I can no longer open ApplicationTemplate.xaml. When I try, I receive many errors like the following: Er...
I'm trying to find a good code review workflow for my team. Most questions similar to this on SO revolve around using shelved changes for the review, however I'm curious about how this works for people with larger teams. We usually have 2-3 people working a story (UI person, Domain/Repository person, sometimes DB person). I've recommen...
I am building a DMS for our intranet and use a taxonomy hierarchy because we need access control that way. All company locations manage (upload,edit) their own documents but should be able to access all. This is inherited to the child terms and works fine. Additionally we want simple 3-step workflow (draft,published,archived). So i intr...
The same goes for the workflow source files -- every time I open the project or go to the source file, it's indicating (by the asterisk) that the file has been modified. Which means two things: when closing VS, I always get the "Project has been changed, do you want to save changes?" prompt. It's annoying but I can live with that. Mor...

I have an Alfresco document reference; what I'm looking for is a way to access workflow attached to that document and finish it (or progress it to the next transition) through Javascript. Almost every example on the web shows how to start workflow, and from the dashlet I could call task command processor (/alfresco/command/task/end/[/tr...
