Charles Lee : Initiate a SharePoint workflow from a button on the list view.

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 07:40 AM PST

I came across a scenario recently where a project required that a list of items could have a button or link on a list view, which would cause a workflow to start.
Essentially the users involved were not happy using the out-of-the-box way that SharePoint (WSS 3.0) allows users to manually initiate workflows. They believed there were too many steps involved.
