- Create a Workflow Project (part 01)
- Create Custom Task List (part 02)
- Create a Custom InfoPath form (part 03)
- Create a Workflow utilizing the CreateTaskWithContentType (part 04)
- Set up your workflow to work (part 05)
Let's make this work
1.) Open up the elements file of your workflow, you should see something along the lines of:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!-- Customize the text in square brackets. Remove brackets when filling in, e.g. Name="[NAME]" ==> Name="MyWorkflow" --> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <Workflow Name="SPM_Workflow" Description="My SharePoint Workflow" Id="d702d3ec-d6ab-4c34-9e73-5b8dcb0599ce" CodeBesideClass="WorkflowProject1.Workflow1.Workflow1" CodeBesideAssembly="$assemblyname$"> <Categories/> <MetaData> <AssociationCategories>List</AssociationCategories> <!-- Tags to specify InfoPath forms for the workflow; delete tags for forms that you do not have --> <!--<Association_FormURN>[URN FOR ASSOCIATION FORM]</Association_FormURN> <Instantiation_FormURN>[URN FOR INSTANTIATION FORM]</Instantiation_FormURN> <Task0_FormURN>[URN FOR TASK (type 0) FORM]</Task0_FormURN> <Task1_FormURN>[URN FOR TASK (type 1) FORM]</Task1_FormURN>--> <!-- Modification forms: create a unique guid for each modification form --> <!--<Modification_[UNIQUE GUID]_FormURN>[URN FOR MODIFICATION FORM]</Modification_[UNIQUE GUID]_FormURN> <Modification_[UNIQUE GUID]_Name>[NAME OF MODIFICATION TO BE DISPLAYED AS A LINK ON WORKFLOW STATUS PAGE</Modification_[UNIQUE GUID]_Name> --> <StatusPageUrl>_layouts/WrkStat.aspx</StatusPageUrl> </MetaData> </Workflow> </Elements>
we're going to add two things to this
- our content type
- our task form ID (remember way back in the first post I said make a note of it.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <Workflow Name="SharePoint Magic WF" Description="My SharePoint Workflow" Id="d702d3ec-d6ab-4c34-9e73-5b8dcb0599ce" CodeBesideClass="SPM_WorkFlow.Workflow1.Workflow1" CodeBesideAssembly="$assemblyname$" TaskListContentTypeId="0x01080100d6b5580b746b4e68b032f3cdc88b6062"> <Categories/> <MetaData> <AssociationCategories>List</AssociationCategories> <Task0_FormURN>urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:SPM-Form:-myXSD-2013-02-21T15-34-28</Task0_FormURN> <StatusPageUrl>_layouts/WrkStat.aspx</StatusPageUrl> </MetaData> </Workflow> </Elements>
deploy this, and you should be OK.
