Hi All,

 

Can we halt a workflow , until we get a value updated . Please find the  exact scenario below:

 

I have a requirement wherein workflow gets halt and based on certain value updated in sharepoint library column workflow gets moved further , till that point it should gets halt . Is there any way to do this other than client event . The values are getting updated from some external event

 

Currently I am triggering workflow when item updated in sharepoint library.

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance

Playing with any one of the rule functions should be adequate for your requirments. Also you don;t have to be bound to one process you could kick off a seperate process to finish the job based on the sharepoint list value.  You could use form rules to determine the state of the list item and decide which process to start. SO you could check the item value using an SMO in smartforms and do nothing or progress the workflow depending on the returned value for example. HTH
