Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video Updating list items, part of SharePoint Designer 2010: Building Custom Workflows.
We have a list called Asset Inventory with a list of items. Each of them has a…unique Asset Number, a Title, and a Quantity.…And so we want to create an easy workflow that would allow a user to walk around…the business and count things and actually update this list pretty easily.…So let's go ahead and create this update list workflow, and we can create this from anywhere.…Remember that the List Actions allow us to take action on the current list but…also on other lists as well.…So we could put this just about anywhere we would like to, but I'm going to go…ahead and connected to this particular list.…
Let's switch over into SharePoint Designer, and here's our Asset Inventory.…Let's just go ahead and create an Update Workflow.…And all we really want to be able to update is the Quantity, and this is an…Inventory reconciliation for physical inventory.…And so what we are going to do is we are going to Update the Quantity on Hand.…To do that, we're going to go to Update List Item.…
We are going to update an item in this list, and we are actually updating the current list.…
