Hello,

I have created an InfoPath 2010 Form Template and published it to a SharePoint Form Library.

Is it possible to use SharePoint Designer 2010 to pause the workflow at each step and wait for reviewer to mark the approval field that is within the InfoPath form?

Right now I have the WF get kicked off when the form is created.  And my workflow checks to see if the form radio button field has been marked approved or not.  But the workflow ends immediately because it has not been marked as either yet.

Visual Studio is really not a great option for me or work environment so even something not pretty in SPD would be great.

Please help.  Thank you,

JJ

Hi JJ,

Is the Form saving the value in the column correctly i.e. is it saving the value as Approved or Not Approved? You can have a action in workflow, Wait for Field in item to change. and select Approval field here. When ever your document is modified and the approval field is specified, the workflow will continue to next steps.

Thank you Kapil...that worked!

Is it possible to restart the workflow using SPD if someone disapproves a submission?

Like if I reset the fields back to 0, how do I send the workflow back to step 1?  I've heard I might have to kick off a new wf but I don't know how to do that either.

For restarting a workflow, take a look at Nick Grattan's Custom Workflow Activity Pack - http://www.nickgrattan.net/ActionPack.aspx 

He has a PDF under his publications tab that covers implementing while loops with stateful workflows.
