I am trying to create an approval workflow using Sharepoint Designer 2007. The reason is because the out of the box approval workflow provides no way to prevent the user who creates an item in a list from receiving the workflow started and workflow completed notifications. This SP site and workflow is very basic. It is simply for a few users to request overtime and for one supervisor to approve it. If I create a workflow in SP Designer than those stupid notifications are not sent but I can’t seem to figure out how to create it similar to how the out of the box approval workflow works. All I want to happen is a user submits the new list item I customized, when they click submit a task email is sent to the supervisor, at which point they ‘Edit this Task’ and choose Approved or Rejected with a space to type a reason if need be. Then the user will get an email informing them if their request was Approved or Rejected. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
