Editor's Notes
- SP 2013 does not have OOTB Workflows
- SP 2013 does not have OOTB Workflows
- Manual startForm will appear to usersUsers may change values
- Specifically, these actions will run every time an individual task is completed. You can customize the logic here using the workflow commands in SharePoint Designer, like conditions, actions, and else-if statements. You can also add task behavior actions, like the Set Content Approval Status and End Task Process.
- From the summary page, if you change the behavior of a single task, you’re taken to another full-screen workflow editor where you see the individual task events, such as when it’s assigned, pending, expires, and so on. Tons of emails to modify
- Use this to perform actions at different stages of the workflow. You can also do this at the top level.
- Another email. That’s 5 so far.
- More emailThat’s 66 emails
