Unable to find Approval Workflow in SharePoint 2010 Foundation

Question

I'm new to SharePoint and I'd like to develop a Leave Form Application which utilizes the Approval Workflow, but I cannot find it on SharePoint Foundation 2010. How can I enable it? I have already tried many methods which I found on Google, but I still have no clue. Please guide me.

Answer 1

I found the answer; as I was using SharePoint Foundation, there are now out-of-the-box workflows provided except for the three-state Workflow.

Answer 2

From your document library:

• Click library tab
• Click library settings tile
• Select Workflow Settings Link
• Click Add a Workflow link
• Approval should be in the Workflow Template list

If that doesn't work, check your site collection features and insure workflows is activated.

Answer 3

Simple approval workflow can be activate ddirectly from library settings:

Go to your list->library settings in the ribbon->versionning settings->allow approval content option to yes...
