SharePoint Designer is more than meets the eye
Thanks a lot!
Isn’t this also a way to create loops? In SharePoint 2007, you had to create two interlaced workflows, but with this technique you could have the same workflow restart by changing a field.
Sure. But when creating loops, you should keep in mind, that you need to use some pause/delay activity. Without pause, you’ll get an exception “SPException: Recursive workflows are not permitted.”.
And I think looping is also possible in SharePoint 2007. Have a look at this article: http://sharepointmagazine.net/articles/the-dog-ate-my-task-use-sharepoint-designer-to-email-daily-task-reminders
Thanks for the tip! Are you saying that your example works because of the pause until first alert date?
And right, in SP 2007 you could create loops. But my point is that two workflows were needed, while in your case the workflow is able to restart itself.
