Back when I was tasked with making a SharePoint workflow, everytime I googled it, I kept finding a tutorial about how to create a sequential workflow. The problem was that I needed a state machine workflow. After I finally figured it all out, I made sure
I would never lose all that knowledge. So, I documented every step. I recently decided to post a series on created state machine workflows. The articles show you, in simple step-by-step fashion, how to create the workflow's initiation form, its task form,
and the workflow itself. The final two posts show how to add workflow history logging and task notification emails to the workflow. There really isn't a whole lot of code, but what code you need is all there for you to copy and paste. There are a LOT of steps
to this, but I made this as easy as possible. This will take you through from the very beginning to the very end. As it a series, I posted the links here in case you want to jump to a specific article.
It is a great tutorial but what if you are only trying to use it with SharePoint Designer? I am looking for state machine workflow and sharepoint designer. no coding.
