I am trying to find a way to only begin a process instance when a specific field is updated in a library, or even better, the field is set to a specific value (ie. Status = Ready).

It is simple to bind a process to the Update event on a library but it seems that there is no way to limit it at all.

Anyone have ideas about this?
Hi Sbates,

K2.net optimizes the Event Handling capabilities provided by SharePoint.

SharePoint events include:

- Adding a new document to the Library
- Checking in a document
- Checking out a document
- Deleting a document
- Updating a document
- Copying or moving a document


The event handler in SPS does not carry the detail of what exactly changed during the update so you are correct by saying that you can monitor/use the update however you can not limit the scope by testing for certain values.
