    Trigger a Workflow based on Approval Status: using SharePoint Designer

    Hi all,

    I've reached the workflow point in a project and I'm learning SharePoint Designer.  I'm trying to verify that I am doing this correctly...

    My task is to trigger an action in the workflow wizard to perform an action based on the Approval Status of an InfoPath form.  So, if a user chooses to reject any stage during the approval process, a certain action will be performed.

    My question is: What Condition must I choose to make this happen?

        What I have done already in attempt of this is to choose "Compare any data source" as my condition, and when I click to set the first value, I get the option to choose the following:

             Source: "Form Library Name"

             Field:     Approval Status (this is not a custom created field.  I assume it is referring to the approval status of the form based on an embedded workflow)

             Field:     "Field Library Name":Aprroval Status

             Value:    1;#Rejected  (This was one of a few values that I chose from a dropdown)

       Then my second value would be "1;#Rejected"  (Again, I chose this from a dropdown)

     

    Can someone verify?  I also thought this would just be good information to have posted.

    Hi tinch,

     I did get my workflow to work correctly, but I did it in a different way.  I found this tutorial that has helped me in many ways.  I strongly recommend it!  If you have any specific questions, please let me know!
