I recently got this error on my SharePoint online environment. Whenever I initiate the workflow, it bring up the form with URL: https://site url/_layouts/15/IniWrkflIP.aspx?List={...}&ItemGuid={...}&TemplateID={}&Source=DocumentURLPath The problem is document URL path is encoded as %2520 when there is a space in Document Library name, for example: "Share Documents" will be encoded as "Share%2520Document". When you hit Cancel button on the form, it does not bring you back to the document location because the path is not found. I only experience this problem in the last 2 weeks? Any thought? Is that because SP Online change the way it handle % and #? How can I fix this issue?Solved27KViews0likes11CommentsDocument 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.14KViews0likes13CommentsOverdue task reminder workflow error
Dear All. First of all, sorry for the long post. :-) I would like to ask for your help regarding SharePoint overdue task reminder. I’d like to use the build-in task app for assign monthly tasks with important due date. Requirements: Send a mail to assigned person, 2 days before overdue date. Do not send mail at the moment of the task assign, because we would like to assign monthly tasks for a year ahead and I do not want to send 12 mails within 2 minutes. Do not send the mail at midnight because it could be annoying for clients. I tried to solve the problem in many various way, but each of them seemed wrong. I do not know where is the problem exactly (in SharePoint Designer Workflow algorithm or SharePoint site settings?) My (wrong) solving method: WORKFLOW If Current Item:Task Status not equals Completed Add -2 days to Current Item:Due Date (Output to Variable:RightDate) then Pause until Variable:RightDate then Email Carl, Johnson Type: List Workflow Associated List: Tasks Platform type: SharePoint 2010 Workflow Start Options Allow this workflow to be manually started Start workflow automatically when an item is created SHAREPOINT SITE Columns: Task Name, Due Date (Date and Time type, Date + Time edition (with hours…)) Assigned To, Information Management Policy Settings: Enabled Retention with the following settings: This stage is based off a date property on the item Time Period: Due Date + 0 days Action: When this stage is triggered, perform the following action: Start a workflow Start this workflow {Name of the workflow} My overdue reminder workflow does not work in order (vid. requirements). I would be pleased if somebody could help me. Thank you very much in advance, AdamSolved6.7KViews0likes5CommentsHow to Disable Automatic Workflow Cleanup
We set up a workflow on one of our SharePoint pages to both approve and keep track of vacation time for our team. We have been confused for a while now how (and why) items mysteriously get deleted. I found all kinds of references online that items in SharePoint’s workflows are deleted after 60 days. Unfortunately, my SharePoint admin said that wasn't applicable to SharePoint Online (the article was for SharePoint v2010) and he wasn't aware of any settings to disable workflow items being deleted. However, it is odd that there are thousands of references to workflows in older SharePoints removing items after 60 days and this is EXACTLY what is happening for me. I have over 50 documented occurrences and they all happened EXACTLY 60 days after they were created. I inserted a pic below. I have been looking everywhere, but can't seem to find a setting to stop this. I have been been manually re sending items thur the workflow to ensure everyone's vacation appears, but this is not a good long-term solution. Has anyone ever come accross this? I inserted a pic below. Thanks! - DanSolved5.9KViews0likes6CommentsUnable 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?4.1KViews0likes3CommentsSharePoint Workflow 2013 always Suspended showing Looking up a value using a key is not supported

Automated Workflow to provide percentage in one column based off of results from another column in a List. Hello! I am a very new user with SharePoint, so any help will be appreciated. I have List with multiple columns. Of those Columns I have one Labeled [Issue Resolved] and it is a Choice type with a Yes or No option. Another column is labeled [% of No Res to Total Contact] and I have this one as a Number type to show as a percentage. Can I build an automated Workflow in Designer that will compare the "No's" in [Issue Resolved] column against all responses in [Issue Resolved] column (caclulation to get a perecntage. E.g., 31 no's / 99 total entries * 100 = 31.31%) and get that number to populate automatically in the [% of No Res to Total Contact] column each time a new entry is created and submitted?1.7KViews0likes5Comments"Submit project" button skips to next phase and does not go through stages
Hi I am very new at working with sharepoint and workflows. But could someone point out for me what I am doing wrong when my "submit" button skips to the first stage in the next phase, and does not go to the next stage in the current phase? I have created a workflow that looks like this: 0- Start at Stage 1 1- When a project is submitted, go to: stage 2.1 2- When a project is submitted, go to: stage 2.2 3- When a project is submitted, go to: stage 3.1 4- When a project is submitted, go to: stage 3.2 5- When a project is submitted, go to: stage 4 But when I submit a project in stage 2.1, it jumps to the next stage, 3.1. And does not include 2.2. Hopefully someone out there can correct my flow. All the best, MarinSolved
