Is it possible to create new document library using Sharepoint designer 2010?

Hello All,

Please help me with below requirement

- If list/doc library exceeds the threshold it should create new list/lib and save future items in that list

Is it possible using designer workflow or we have to write custom visual studio workflow.

please share your thoughts on this.

Regards,

Mandar

Hi Mandar,

In SharePoint Designer workflow, there are no actions for creating a list or library. So, for your requirement, it is impossible using the default SharePoint Designer workflow actions .

As a workaround, you can develop your own workflow activity to do it.

There are two articles about how to create a workflow activity using VS, please take a look at:
