📚 Course Description:

Hello, SharePoint Enthusiasts! 👋

Welcome to my first tutorial, where we'll dive into the world of approval workflows within Microsoft SharePoint. Throughout my career, I've crafted numerous workflows using a variety of technologies and instruments that SharePoint offers. While I've implemented workflows using SharePoint Designer on 2010 and 2013 platforms, and even explored the capabilities of Visual Studio with its Sequential and State-Machine workflows, the latest addition to this arsenal is the Microsoft Flow.

🔍 The Challenge:

Despite the power of these tools, a common issue arose - customers were often confused by the out-of-the-box workflow tasks. The top three questions I encountered were:

1. ❓ "What is this?" - On encountering the workflow generated task.
2. ❓ "Where is my document?" - Customers couldn't find their documents within the task interface.
3. ❓ "Can we build a document card?" - The need for a more user-friendly and informative task alternative.

Understanding these challenges, I focused on implementing custom solutions that would make the approval process more intuitive and efficient. My approach involved adding custom web parts to tasks and approval documents to ensure they were linked correctly.

🔑 The Core of Approval Workflows:

At its heart, an approval workflow is about:

1. ✍️ Changing document status - To reflect its current state in the approval process.
2. 🎯 Assigning documents to the proper manager - For review and approval.
3. 👀 Changing visibility for the document - Based on the document's current status.
4. 🔔 Notifications - To keep all parties informed about the document's progress.

And the best part? You can achieve this without any complex design tools or workflow engines! Instead, by using the SharePoint JavaScript API, you can insert custom HTML and JavaScript directly into your pages to create a seamless and interactive approval experience.
