The SharePoint functionality enables us to: Receive SharePoint reminder emails regarding certain list items (for example, tasks) 2 days before their overdue date; Send reminders for users on upcoming tasks assigned to them; Send a SharePoint reminder about contract or policy expiration.
How does the workflow save the time stamps?
The workflow sends the email, and then saves a time stamp of when the notification was sent in the note field. Multiple time stamps are allowed and are pipe separated. Then, back in the UI, the rendering code reads all the time stamps and displays a list of the times the notification email was sent, next to the button.
If you click the ellipses next to the value option, there’s a selector for current date. You would simply use the set workflow variable action and use the current date or use the add time to date action and set 0 days/hours/minutes/seconds to Today.
Modified column is useful within workflow only after any of the column is updated, for example by “Set Field in Current Item” action. Looks like these actions are committed before next action. Make a SharePoint 2010 Site Workflow (in SharePoint Designer 2013).
How does workflow work in SharePoint Office 2013?
Workflow participants can complete workflow tasks on the SharePoint site or directly within an Office 2013 program. When a workflow participant completes a workflow task or requests a change to the workflow, the workflow moves to the next relevant step.
