I am new in sharepoint technology. I want to create new workflow with n levels of approval, in MOSS 2007. I have created an approvals list where they are the total of the approvals' levels the workflow can be. Also, i have created a list with users with their respective level of approval, referenced in the mentioned approvals list. I want to fetch the users from this list according to their approval level and want to fire its approval in that sequence. How do i can do this? Thank you in advanced Matt

Please go through this post Custom approval workflow.Regards, Sandip Patil, .Net,Sharepoint Developer worldofsharepoint.com

The result workflow, how many approval states has to have? one, and inside of it implement all the logic of the n approvals in a loop? or more than one state?Matt

Is it possible to make a one state workflow and inside it define a state code step where it would have all the logic process approval (accesing lists, sending mails, depending on the approval user is approving in that moment) and once the workflow has made this step, start the same workflow receiving the necessary data to process and making the same actions like the mentioned approval user. Or maybe is it possible to make a one state workflow with one state code step looping depending the level of approvals (3 levels of approvals, loops 3 times, 2 leves of approvals, loops 2 times...). Inside the step code there would be all the logic process approval (accesing lists, sending mails...). What of the 2 ways mentioned is better? Is it better design it in SPD or with Visual Studio?

Robert Shelton has posted probably the best lesson in creating workflows in my opinion. He has 6 or 6 lessons complete with step by step guide, sample code and Video. in his series How to Video: Building a Multilevel Approval Workflow with SharePoint (MOSS 2007) and Visual Studio. You can see them here. http://rshelton.com/archive/2007/11/27/how-to-video-building-a-multilevel-approval-workflow-with-sharepoint.aspx HTH Nagesh **If you find this post helpful, please click the 'Vote as Helpful' link.

This solution is not valid for me because in it explains a multilevel static workflow, always the workflow will have the same level of approval. But my problem is that the workflow may has to be valid for any multilevel approval workflow (with 2, 3, 4, 5...) levels of approval. So may i have to make a one step code workflow and make it loop X times as X levels would have the workflow? I don't know if i'm explaining well with this. Matt
