Hi,
I’m new on Sharepoint development, I need help to implement this customer requests.
I need to create a workflow that create a sequence of tasks when a document are uploaded in a document library.
The business process is quite complex and these tasks have to be assigned to different groups with different cut-offs.
I thought to use the SP designer 2010 to create the workflow or the workflows and a custom activity.
This custom activity will have a parameter with an activity code and should create a task based on data from a specific SPList that contains title, group and cutoff.
After the task creation wait for status changed to complete.
The user can take in charge the task (set a property) and set the status to completed.
Is it possibile?
Do you have suggestions, tutorials or code samples?
Thanks a lot for you help
Hi Karthik,
I didn’t do what’s explained in the link.
Finally I found a solution…
I create a custom activity with visual studio based on this post http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh128696(v=office.14).aspx
During the task creation I get data from a list to fill the task title, descrition, duedate etc.
Thank for you help
Have you done something similar to this?

When you mentioned “workflow did not run on the items created by other workflow”, did you happen to check the logs on the hive 14?
Hi,
I tried to follow your suggestions updating the task after creation inthe task list but it doesn’t work!
I created a workflow attached to the task list but I was not able to run the workflow on this items created with the other workflow.
Is it possible that for the task created by a “Assign to do item” action is unable to attach workflows?
Thanks

Well.. When you would set up the workflow on a library, a task would be generated on each upload of a document to that library.
When I mean “set up” – I mean add a workflow to the library (using workflow settings -> add a workflow). This enables creation of tasks on each upload.
As in case of your example: When you would upload doc A, a corresponding task 1 is created in the task list, provided you have added your workflow to the (doc) library. This task 1 could pick data from any SPList and update the same or a different SPList using eventreceivers.
Is that something you were looking for? 🙂
What I try to do after trigger on upload of the documents is to create the tasks based on data in a list.
The list contains the definition of the tasks: ActivityCode, Description, Team, Cutoff etc.
For example after upload the document A, I would like to create the task 1 and then the task 2.
The task 1 and the task 2 has a definition in a list for the title (description), assignedto (team) and due date (cutoff)
Sorry for my bad explanations but I hope now it’s more understandable.
Thanks
