Conditional and branching workflows are a key component of approval processes. In The Building Blocks of SharePoint Designer Workflow, Laura Rogers takes a hands-on, step by step approach on how to get started building your workflow solutions.

This workshop is for novice users and assumes no prior use of SPD for creation of workflows. Topics to be covered include:

• Three options to start workflows.
• The Initiation form that is associated with manually run workflows.
• Conditions and actions, with examples.
• On creation of a document, make the workflow email the approver.
• Configure an email in the workflow.
• Add an action to wait for “Checked out to” to be empty.
• Build a dynamic string for the email subject.
• How to NOT create an endless loop.
• Run a custom workflow.
• Log history in the workflow after each step
• Workflow settings in the doc library settings.
• Hidden Workflow History list.
• Create a condition to look at the department field and do something different for each department.
• Use a choice field for priority levels High Medium Low. Use this initiation form information in the workflow. High = assign a to do. Medium = set approval status to Approved. Low = move to a library called Low Priority

This is a live online, hands-on workshop. Each participant will receive their own SharePoint sandbox for testing and implementing the workshop solutions.As if that’s not enough, we’ll record the entire session and you have access to the on-demand recording at the conclusion of the workshop.

Testimonials from previous participants in EndUserSharePoint Live Online Workshops

I signed up on my own dime, but once the boss saw the results he offered to reimburse me. Now there’s a testimony to the value! — Joyce

Absolutely worth every penny! Every web part provided solves a problem for my SharePoint users and I am already getting kudos for fixing them a mere two hours after the workshop ended. — Jill

This workshop was excellent. I would recommend this workshop to any SharePoint professional looking to enhance their users experince working in SharePoint. — Rich

The Hands-on, sandbox approach is what makes these sessions standout from any other on-line training. That is, when you have completed the 60 or 90 minutes, you KNOW how to apply what you learned, because you have already done it. — Wanda

This was really a fun workshop! …it was easy to just drag and drop all the nicely built web part right onto your page. — Shannon

The solutions are fantastic and most, most appreciated. Mark and Paul provided the workshop in a clear, easy to follow manner and answered all questions as they were brought up. — Joan

My favorite web part from the session was the Preview Pane – I think it is fantastic how this can be used to show item details from both lists and library exposed on a page – that’s really powerful, and so easy to just drop on the page and watch the majic unfold. — Carolyn

This event exceeded all my expectations. I learned so much and left with some very valuable tools that will be used in many of the sites that I manage. — Peter (read a comprehesive review)

The workshop exceeded all my expectations. — Barry
