SharePoint - Workflow Status Missing
Asked By Wolfesbur
07-Jun-07 08:07 AM
When checking the status of completed workflows, I no longer see any
that are over a couple months old. Does anyone know of a retention
setting that displays this information. Nothing has been deleted, but
auditors are asking to see the completed status of workflows, and it
does not appear for some reason.

Hi,
Do you see the status field in the list/library and if yes.. does it work
for any workflows?

The status does appear and work, but when checking workflow history
only the status of the latest are being shown. For example, I have a
document that is at Rev 6, the library is set up so that in order for
it to be rev'ed it must be pushed through an approval workflow. When
checking the status on that doc, I only see a couple of workflows in
the history, document history shows everything though. It could be
coincidental, but I am yet to find any workflow status' that are over
2 months old.

Hi Wolfesbur:
Did you ever find the solution to this workflo history issue? I am experiencing the same thing and it can become an auditor nightmare.
Thanks!

sharepoint workflow stops SharePoint I have users that create a workflow simply using the built in Request Approval workflow. They set it to run in serial and put two names on the approvers line and their task changes to complete. However, the 2nd person never gets a task. The workflow sits at status "in progress" forever. The history shows the workflow initiated and the first persons task being created. That's it. This seems to happen on a single site collection in the farm. Other site collections with the same workflow do not have this problem. They do in fact create the 2nd task once the
Access denied on starting workflow programmatically SharePoint Hello, I have a event handler that basically starts a workflow programmatically that is associated with a content type and the option "Require Manage Lists Permission" for starting the workflow manually to disallow non-admin users to start the workflow manually.

Workflow scenario from a newbie. Best approach? SharePoint Hello, all I am new to workflow am looking to see what the best solution is for my company's tracking / auditing to see what is the best way of going about this, and even if sharepoint workflow is / is not the best way to proceed. Our scenarios is that there are 33 other tasks preceding them. Our first simple go at this created 33 separate "Collect Feedback" workflows. The problem is that someone needs to individually start all 33 tasks for the entire workflow to be active. This won't fly with the end users who will be kicking off these workflows whenever there is a new property acquisition. A good enduser solution would be to have Hi Marcus, I'll give you something to think on. You don't need 33 workflows here, you need a single workflow which contains all the relevant tasks. Your workflow will probably have an initiation form which
