Files Uploaded to Document Library Systematically

Hey, u can set the start option like this:

and then under "Bedingungen" set it up like that:

u have to choose something thats automatically filled.

When u create a workflow u can set its "start options".

Like when a new item is created or when a item is edited.

u have to set create new element "Yes" and when an item is edited to "conditional" and then click on the button which will appear on the right and set it up like this:

Created "equals" Created ... notice that u have to tick the checkbox to do this.

Configuring your workflow to start on new items (start when item is created) should work, since a file is still an item.

Tried that. No luck. The document is loaded by a System Account. The vendor send it thru FTP, the document then transferrers by an automated job to the SP doc lib. 

Ur workflow settings where u can set the start options. 🙂

Okay.

The option "start when items are created" is fine.

now u have to set the "start when items are modified" to "conditional" (or the name that isnt YES / NO).

if u did this then a button should appear next to it...click on that and make another screenshot (preferable with the dropdown open so i can say which coloum name u have to choose... it should be something with "created")

sorry for the late reply.

u have to pick "created" (upper dropdown), then u have to tick the checkbox "compare to field?" and pick "created" (lower dropdown) again.

after that the workflow should start.

thats weird.... i have the same set up for one of my doc libraries.

does the vendor sent the document via e-mail? or how does the library gets the document?

with "did not fire" u mean it didnt even start or it got an error?

what kind of automation job?

Never heard of that before... seems that my workaround only works for emails because they are uploaded by the "System" user aswell.
