SharePoint: Creating a Custom Approval Workflow Using SharePoint Designer 2007

[maddehaan]

@anyone reading the remarks below: This example is a very basic one, however requires some knowledge of SharePoint and InfoPath (used to create the expense form used). The workflow part is explained AFTER the form is correctly placed (after minute 5. So likely people below didn't like the first 5 minutes and stopped watching all together.

Why is there never any advanced stuff. This bit was easy to work out,

@EnglishGentleman991 What might be easy for you may be rocket science for others. If you are a developer, yes, this is easy, but if you are new to SP, then not so at all.

This is not workflow!

[lovesu4evernever]

its not a approval workflow. plz correct it.

[sweatyhot]

you guys are way harsh. The approval part is that a manager has to approve the expense if its less then 5000 dollars and greater then that has to be approved by a supervisor.

The voice played fine for me so you might want to see if your cpu is fast enough or that you have a recent codec.

The email part is only to notify the manager or the supervisor that a new expense report has been posted.

[noigraud]

could it be any more complicated ? and how the hell is that a workflow ?

[erugalatha]

This is BS. It does not show how to collect approval. It shows how to send emails. Complete BS.

[chandrei08]

such guide is very good. But all videos on SharePointEditorMSFT channel are always blurry. I understand that because to reduce the video file size, but all menu items, check box titles and especially the places in the code - completely unreadable. I am familiar with SharePoint designer , but even for me it's very difficult sometimes to catch where author is moving and what tools/elements he uses.
