Usually to trigger a newly created workflow on pre-existing items.</p> <p>But to pause a workflow for an new added item what about using the SPD actions Pause Until Date or Wait for Field Change in Current Item. </p> <p>You could either enforce a pause for batch entry, or a field such as the checkbox mentioned by Laura is cleared or set. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/group-by-month-sorting-issues#post-6140 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:18:56 +0000 Peter Allen 6140@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Here is a post that I have on it.

This will get your sort order correct.</p> <p>Now to have your grouping then you would have YYYY-MM.</p> <p>These would be two different columns, but they would be calculated columns.

The best practice is to keep any list at less than 60 columns.</p> <p>Laura Rogers </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/spd-stopping-a-workflow#post-6121 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:33:29 +0000 laura67 6121@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Regarding that last question. Here's the only way I know how, and I've had to do this several times:<br /> Using just a temporary field in the list, put the list in datasheet view, and quickly edit every single item in the list by just changing something ini that temporary field. Just put a value in one field, an drag it down to all the other records. That way, the workflow will get kicked off for every item.</p> <p>Laura Rogers </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/copy-document-across-site-using-spd-workflow#post-6120 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:28:43 +0000 Eric Truchon 6120@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi amitoni,</p> <p>For more complex WorkFlow you will need Visual Studio 2008.

If you need to show code snippets in this forum just enclose them with the backtick (`) character, typically on the same key as the tilde (~) at the upper left of your keyboard. </p> <p>This shouldn't require much in the way of coding skills; just open the page in Designer, use the Split view and when you highlight one of the hyperlinked values in your web part the code view should put you in the right spot.
