   I have created 4 workflows using sharepoint designer.

   On each workflow I ticked the box to Allow to start manually.

   However when I select the workflow option from an item in the doc library I can only see 2 of the workflows to start them.

   Could anyone tell me why only 2 of the 4 are displayed?

   Thanks,

   Pete

   Hi,
   I think it is about your conditions .If you give some more information we can solve the problem.But with this information I can say that you can add an extra action at the top of step 1 (it can be different name).There must be no condition and your action must be that :start this workflow.
   good luck

   And another thing: if items status are displayed as 'COMPLETED' and if in your workflows if you add an action :'terminate this workflow' at the end of workflows,you can not display them. Please check them..

   Hi Cidgem,

   Thanks for your posts.

   I had a look at my workflows and don't have any actions to terminate the workflow at any point.

   I'm not quite sure how I would add the ":start this workflow" action. If I'm using sharepoint designer to build the workflow it is not an option in the available actions.

   Do I need to edit the workflow as XML? If so where should I put the code?

   Thanks,

   Pete

   Just as a bit of background about the workflows.

   They are really simple and just compare a "Doc Title" field and then depending on that they email a group of people that need to know about that document.
