Hi guys,
I'm building a work flow to approve purchase orders for a customer. The workflow I've built works fine but for some reason it doesn't start automatically, despite the workflow settings displaying that it should start whenever a new item is created or an existing item is change - I'm forced to start it manually, which defeats the object of what I'm trying to do!
Please see below a screenshot from SharePoint Designer, you can see here my workflow is set to automatically start:
For whatever reason, when I add a new item into the library it just doesn't trigger! Then I noticed this under the list options, related workflows:
Is this the reason why it won't start automatically, despite the workflow settings? Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
Thanks in advanced - Jamie
