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!

Trigger a Workflow based on Approval Status: using SharePoint Designer

Patrick — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:02:36 GMT

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.
