Trying to convert a manual business process to one that runs automatically nightly

asked on September 24, 2014

Below is my workflow that is working but only if the user clicks on a documents and manually runs the business process.  Scheduling the process to run nightly gives me the error "entry not found" at the first step.  I'm not sure exactly what I need to add at the beginning of the workflow to simulate a user clicking on a document in a folder and running the process.  I would like the automatic running process to be run agaist all documents in the folder.

I just went through this same thing. As Miruna said, the workflow needs to know what documents to run on. So in your workflow you'll need to add a Find Entries activity and configure it to look at the folder that will contain the documents. You'll also want to filter the entries by Documents (If the documents are in different folders, this option won't work).

After that you want to add a For Each Entry activity that will iterate through the entries found with the Find Entries activity. You will then need to make sure that the activites that run after that are running against the For Each Entry activity rather than the starting entry.

Here's an example:

You need to find the documents that should go through this workflow first. How do users decide that?
