Rerouting Rejected Approval

    Rerouting Rejected Approval

    I am using Sharepoint 2007 and Nintex 2007 Workflow. 

    I have created 2 document folders on sharepoint. One doc library for initial submission from Infopath 2007 by our users. The second doc library is added to by the current document when it is approved, then it is deleted from the initial submission doc library.

    I can get the workflow to work to completion, and set statuses and move the docs from one library to another on APPROVED.

    However if the document is REJECTED, I can send out a notification as to the rejection reason - but then the workflow ends.

    I would like the workflow to reroute back to the user to ask them to amend the document and resend - but in a loop so if the approver rejects again - it goes back to get amended again and again until the approver approves.

    Does anyone know how to go about this?

    Hi creejon,

    I believe the best way to do it, would be to use a State Machine.

    Here is a tutorial on how to use a State Machine: http://connect.nintex.com/files/folders/tutorials/entry163.aspx

    After going through the tutorial, I managed to get this to work i.e. loop through the workflow until the status is approved.

    Thank you for your help.
