So for example does sharepoint 2013 have the capability to validate against thresh hold amounts e.g budget = £3000 but request goes for 3.500, will it be able to validate that we have exceeded the budget & not allow the worflow to start?
Also can SP13 workflow manager “Read” from smartforms & use the data for the worflow processes? This is something 2007 cannot do.
If anyone could help on this that would be fantastic.
Yes that is very doable. There are a lot of things you can do with 2013 workflows. I do routing all the time based on conditions.
