Is there any way to create Custom List using SmartForms rules without using Workflow.

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

K2A,

 All of your action rules will be listed within the form. I do not know an out of the box way to create a new list without using a workflow. Creating a list is basically creating a smartobject. If  K2 is creating a list in SharePoint and the process is consuming that said list then K2 is creating a smartobject from the said SharePoint list. The problem I could see arising from this is how many smartobjects could be tied to the process in the future and which list would it use? Are you looking to simply create a shortcut to building lists in SharePoint? Something like a button is clicked within the form and a list is created or do you have a process that requires each entry be in its own table?

 

Generally we will filter a list by ID. For each list I create a column called PID. This column creates an ID for the entry and it also records the ID from the main entry. Later when calling the list method I call only items in the list where the PID matches the ID from the main table.

 

I hope this helps. I think if we understood exactly what you are trying to do we could provide more input.

 

Thanks,

Bryan Peters

Thank You BryanPeter,

 

My requirement is to create a SharePoint list using list Template which is already have been saved.Through workflow: While I'm trying to create a list using this template it takes custom list template not which we saved(i.e. it will create a new list with title column alone). This is why I asked any options to create a list using rule because I can't achieve this using rule.

Please let me know if need more info.

 

Thank You... :)
