World of Workflows

2010 Workflows?

2013 Workflows?

What’s the difference?

engineering intelligence

What Happens to 2010 Workflows?

•SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform has

been carried forward to SharePoint 2013• Workflows built for SharePoint 2010 will

continue to work in SharePoint 2013

engineering intelligence

SharePoint 2013 Workflows

•To use SharePoint Server 2013 workflows:• Download, install, and configure Workflow

Manager to work with SharePoint Server

• Workflow Manager provides an externalized

host to run workflows

•SharePoint Designer 2013 will then allow

you to choose which version (2010 or 2013)

of workflow you want to create or edit

engineering intelligence

InfoPath is NOT Dead

• InfoPath 2013 is not deprecated• 2013 is possibly last version

• Very similar to InfoPath 2010

• InfoPath Services is not new or enhanced

engineering intelligence

•To fix, follow the steps in Lori Gowin’s blog

post:

Upgrading InfoPath and the User Profile

Service Data Connection

InfoPath Form: Username Field “Breaks”

What We Get What We Want

engineering intelligence

What About Access Services 2013?

•Develop Access forms in client, then publish

to SharePoint• Build a custom web app

• Use a web app template

• Download a web app from Office store

•Requires SQL Server 2012• Separate database instance

•No integration with workflows in SP2013• Future integration is rumored

engineering intelligence

Site Administration
