Course Overview
Hello everyone my name is Vlad Catrinescu and I would like to welcome you to my course on Creating a Workflow in SharePoint Designer. Let me present myself, I'm an independent consultant from Montreal, Canada as well as a SharePoint server MVP. Why learn SharePoint designer workflows? Well as you know one of the benefits of SharePoint is business automation using workflows. With SharePoint workflows, you can save both time and money as well as make sure that all your processes are consistent. The best part is that by using SharePoint designer, you don't need to have access to this SharePoint server or have advanced SharePoint knowledge to start automating processes. Some of the major topics that we will include cover out-of-the-box SharePoint workflows, SharePoint designer 2010 mode workflows, SharePoint designer 2013 mode workflows, as well as the integration between SharePoint designer and Microsoft Visio. By the end of this course, you'll be able to create your own awesome workflows in SharePoint. This course applies to users of SharePoint 2010 2013, 2016, as well as SharePoint online. Before beginning this course, the only thing that you need to be familiar with is the basics of SharePoint such as adding a list item, knowing your way around the ribbon, and that's all. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn workflows with the creating a workflow in SharePoint designer course at Pluralsight.
