Unable to edit Sharepoint Design Workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013
We have been migrating to the power automate platform - and doing it in a pace that works for our organisation. We started seeing some issues a few weeks ago with some legacy workflows in Sharepoint. But, when trying to review and see what these legacy workflows are doing, we are unable to open them - which is going to be a pain as we need to see what they actually were doing to replace them with new powerautomate solutions. Is there any way we can access them in the Sharepoint designer? Some workflows appear there, but, workflows that appear to be tied to a list, we are unable to edit/open. Sharepoint just "hyperlinks" to a dead end.. Thanks!Document Lookup Column Link
Hi, all, In SharePoint Online I have a doc library (Reference Docs) and a list (Projects). The goal is for users to choose a doc from a lookup drop-down in Projects, which, when clicked, will directly open the chosen document stored in Reference Docs. So, in Reference Docs I created a workflow that sets the value of the Title field with the Name field. In Projects I created a lookup column referencing the Title field in Reference Docs All works fine, except the link opens the document properties, not the document itself. This should be simple, but I just can figure out what is incorrect. Any help will be appreciated.
Want to automate email population when specific list item details updated
I've created trackers using SharePoint lists. I want to be able to automate the population of emails to specific people to include specific column details from a SP list item to send at times when a specific column's drop down selection changes to a specific selection, or when certain fields are populated for the first time. Is this possible? If so, how do I do that? I've looked through the Alerts and Workflow instructions and it is all way too basic to meet my needs because it only sends an alert when anything in the item is updated, not when specific updates are made. Also, neither seems to auto populate the email with specific details pulled from the list item that is being updated. I don't know if this is possible, or if I maybe need another program or plug-in to work with it. I'm sure I can get my IT to give me permission to download and use additional programs or plug-ins, but I don't know what I need right now or if my vision is even possible. I think we are using SharePoint 2016, but I am not sure how to confirm that. Looking for help from anyone who has successfully put something like this together! Thanks!
Unable to edit or open Workflows
I am trying to see and edit workflows on our SP Online site (backend SP 2013) but all I can see is that they exist. When I try to open them up in SharePoint Designer 2013 I get this: I am using 64 bit SP Designer 2013. I can't seem to install any patches because it says it effects nothing installed on my machine yet I clearly have it installed and I clearly have issues addressed in the patches. I have already seen a post like this (and others on the web) about the patch but apparently I can't use that. Is there another fix? How else can I edit these workflows?
open this task is not showing in Visio
We have workflow configured on SharePoint document library. For Visio docs if we run a SharePoint workflow, approvers are not able to view "Open this task" to approve the workflow. This option is visible on word & excel but not for Visio are there any workarounds to get this option on Visio ? Environment : SharePoint 2016Workflow to be run for every specific document or content type?
I will need to look for the solution to implement the manual script initiation for specific file type in the document library (ex. force unlocking a document). Idea is that I will add additional column with the link to manually trigger a workflow to every item with appropriate content type (only MS Office file types). It should look like this: User click on the link of workflow of specific document --> Workflow (param documentId) --> execute the script on the server (with documentId param). Is that scenario possible, if not with workflows, how can I achieve that?
