Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

 

Topic Last Modified: 2007-09-07

While many business processes often involve software, the most important processes in many organizations depend on people. Automating interactions among the people who participate in a process can improve how that process functions, increasing its efficiency and lowering its error rate. Using software that supports this kind of human workflow can make organizations more effective.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, part of the 2007 Microsoft Office system system, adds more capability to workflow applications built on Windows SharePoint Services. Using this product, workflows can use custom forms created with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 to interact with users through such Office applications as Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. Office SharePoint Server 2007 also includes several predefined workflows, letting information workers create automated business processes for approval and other common situations.

The workflow properties are part of the setproperty and getproperty operations. The syntax for the setproperty operation is:

stsadm -o setproperty

-propertyname <property name>

-propertyvalue <property value>

**\[-url\] \<**https://server\_name**\>**

The syntax for the getproperty operation is:

stsadm -o getproperty

-propertyname <property name>

**\[-url\]** \<https://server\_name\>

Note

You can substitute -pn for -propertyname and -pv for -propertyvalue.

The following table describes the workflow properties.
