I want to query the list to get some information of particular ID but some actions are missing in SharePoint Designer 2013. I want following actions in SharePoint Designer.
But what it actually looks here in my screen :
I could not see Dictionary and HTTP actions in designer. I am new to this. Let me know if you have any suggestion to display these actions here.
Thank you in advance.
The workflow you created is a SharePoint 2010 workflow without OOB actions like call HTTP web service and etc. What you need is a SharePoint 2013 workflow. You have to set Platform Type to SharePoint 2013 Workflow when creating a new workflow.
If there is no SharePoint 2013 Workflow option under the dropdown menu, you have to configure workflow manager to get it. Reference: Install and configure workflow for SharePoint Server.

All,
I'm new to SharePoint, and I was wondering if there was a way to have a group of users complete a task (perhaps a form that needs answered), and then have that form, or the answers given in that form, be sent to another group of users to look into and follow-up on? Perhaps it could be moved to a specific folder?
Google hasn't turned up much of anything in the way of clear answers.
The mechanism you are mentioning is like a SharePoint Approval workflow or an approval flow.
Just like teylyn said, you can choose SharePoint Designer workflow or Power automate depends on the version of SharePoint you are using.
How to determine the SharePoint version I am using.
And SharePoint has its own built-in approval workflow template for directly use. It is a bit old but easy to configure and ready to be used.
An example for SharePoint designer 2013 platform approval workflow here.
2010 Platform approval workflow
One thing just for your notice, there are two different types of workflows, 2010 platform workflow and 2013 platform workflow. You can create a 2010 platform as long as you installed SharePoint Designer. However it is needed to install and configure workflow manager to use 2013 platform workflow.
Flow tutorial here.
Hope to be any help.
In SharePoint Online, you can use Power Automate to create business logic workflows, using fields in a SharePoint list that store the current status of a task and information like next reviewer, etc. The Power Automate flow can be either triggered by a button in the form (in which case you would want to design the form with PowerApps) or whenever the item in the SharePoint list is modified.
In SharePoint on premises you can create SharePoint Designer workflows to achieve the same thing.
I am having below requirement using sharepoint 2010 designer workflow.
Once anyone reject the request the workflow must be assigned back to User who is initiating.
Please guide me how can i achive this. I am new to sharepoint workflows.
OOB SharePoint 2010 designer workflow can't achieve this, you would consider to use third-party solution/product for this.
Or develop your state machine workflow.

I am trying to a configure the Sharepoint 2010- Approval workflow to the list. I have activated the "Workflow" under site collection features. After enabling, under the "Add a workflow" in list > workflow setting, the template name is not displayed. Kindly help me to enable this approval workflow on Sharepoint 2013.
The issue was due to Microsoft workflow interruption. Check the global admin site in case if you received the message from Microsoft specifying the same.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 and the Sharepoint Workflow Manager 2013. I want to create a workflow using the Approval-Sharepoint 2013 template. But I can't find it. I've searched on the web for a solution, and many sites recommend going through the steps I outline below, which I did:
At the site collection level I go to Site Settings -> Site collection features
Activate the following:
Disposition Approval Workflow
Publishing Approval Workflow
Workflows
When I go to select a template, this is what I see in the menu (an asterisk indicates a 2010 template):
*Approval - SharePoint 2010
*Collect Feedback - SharePoint 2010
*Collect Signatures - SharePoint 2010
*Disposition Approval
*Publishing Approval
*Three-state
I see no 2013 templates, particularly the Approval-Sharepoint 2013 template which is what I need.
Some sites I've researched have said there is no Approval-Sharepoint 2013 template, but that would contradict Microsoft's own website ( https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/All-about-Approval-workflows-078c5a89-821f-44a9-9530-40bb34f9f742?CTT=1&CorrelationId=4744d23f-ce35-4c48-b367-a8c8380dafbe&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US ) which says:
Select the Approval – SharePoint 2013 template.
NOTE If the Approval – SharePoint 2013 template doesn’t appear in
the list, contact your SharePoint administrator to find out about
having it activated for your site collection or workspace.
Any clues?
Thanks,
George
I ran into the same issue. Everything was in order as per the numerous blog posts I had read and I still couldn't get the SharePoint 2010 Approval workflow. After calling Microsoft I realised that the Approval workflow is only available for the Enterprise version.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/About-the-workflows-included-with-SharePoint-D9C46B8A-9835-4076-B5D3-6412CE4CA0DC?CID=3dcae5e3-f4cc-425d-8fc4-d8b59069578e&SrcID=MOP.CSR
With SharePoint Server 2010, and with SharePoint Online for Office 365
for enterprises, all five of the following workflow types are
included. With SharePoint Online for Office 365 for small businesses
and professionals, however, only the Three-state workflow type is
included.
So first check what version of Sharepoint you have before driving yourself nuts about this workflow.
Is there a way to create a report in SharePoint where i can view all my current workflows and the status of each workflow?
Edit: I need to be able to have a List or something where i can view all my Workflows with the status and so on in my SharePoint site.
There is some basic reporting built in. Check out this article;

You can also get some overview of custom workflows available using this tool in Codeplex;
