Re: Workflow could not be started

Hello,

 Did you create "GROUP_Operations" in Alfresco?

<userTask id="usertask1" name="Operations Review" activiti:candidateGroups="GROUP_Operations" activiti:formKey="scwf:activitiOperationsReview">

If not, you need to create all the groups which are used in workflow.

 

Thanks,
Vidhi

Contcentric
