Sir,
I’m curious…

I’m using SP WSS 3.0 and Designer ‘07. My workflows from inside SP WSS work fine. The workflows that I created in Designer work fine when I initiate them manually. But for some reason, when an activity occurs that should cause the Designer built workflows to trigger, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Can one use both a SharePoint Designer workflow associated and a SharePoint “out of the box” aproval workflow at the same time on the same list?

I have a sharepoint list, with a sharepoint out of the box approval workflow. I have been trying to create a SharePoint Designer workflow that, at the end of the approval workflow, would recognize completion and send an email. It should work similar to this workflow, but it never seems to send the email. I have been unable to find any log file that tells me why. So, does this sound like something that is even possible?

Thanks for putting this together. It’s a very good intro to SharePoint Designer (SPD) Workflows.

One of the shortcomings to using Designer to create worflows over using Visual Studio is that it only creates these workflows and formfor a specific list, and cannot create something that can be used on other sites and lists. Can you explain how one would convert this workflow and form into a SharePoint feature?

Is there a way to create a workflow to generate a report (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), based on content taken from a list?

Say I want a weekly production report automatically generated in a Word Document (or email) and distributed to designated recipients. I would want to use a report template and have Sharepoint fill-in certain merge fields within the text of the template. Easy?

Please note that the “% Complete” conditional will need to be set to “1″, not “100″, or this will send email messages to tasks that are 100% complete.
