Moss 2007 WorkFlow and InfoPath 2007

[Kalpana]

Hi All

I have multiple InfoPath Form Libraries in my Sharepoint SIte - and each
form has several approval process. I have all of them built into InfoPath
with .Net code behind. Now it will be very tedious for users to go to all of
these libraries to look for their work item. An email will be sent to them
when it is their turn to approve, but still opening up the libraries will be
time consuming.

Is there a way to show them all as a task list in their MySite. Has anyone
done anything like that? Worse come, I would have to write a webpart that
searchs all these libraries and gets the records out. But I am looking for a
Task Item. I tried the the WorkFlow that comes as part of Moss 2007 but looks
like the user would have to perform 2 actions one of the form and repeat the
same on the work flow item. If possible we want to avoid that.

Thanks
Kalpana

Use only One Task List for all the workflows.

Create a View for the Task List which filters tasks based on [Current User].

Create a Page in Sharepoint designer or use the defult page to add the
ListViewWebpart.

Configure the ListView Webpart to show the View.

Thanks

Hi Kiran

Thanks for you quick reply.
I was able to do that but the downside to it is user have to go through
multiple steps

(1). They have to click on the task list item
(2). They have to select Edit Item
(3). They have to open up the infopath document - makes necessary changes
and click on save (that closes the form)
(4). They have to click on the Workflow button either to approve or reject

which to me seems ok not to the users

was looking to see if there is a way to open up the workflow page as soon as
they click a button on the form..

Thanks again
