SharePoint OOTB Workflow
Recently, I had the chance to play with SharePoint lists and Document Libraries. I also had the challenge of using SharePoint without the use of Designer.
In creating a List or Document Library and associating it with a Workflow, my challenge was to create a View such that I could filter it based on the Workflow status.

The status of each workflow is stored as a numeric value but displayed as a string description as follows:
To filter, compare the value against a numeric constant. For example:

The status of each workflow is stored as a numeric value but displayed as a string description as follows:
- NotStarted = 0
- FailedOnStart = 1
- InProgress = 2
- ErrorOccurred = 3
- StoppedByUser = 4
- Completed = 5
- FailedOnStartRetrying = 6
- ErrorOccurredRetrying = 7
- ViewQueryOverflow = 8
- Canceled = 15 (to be confirmed)
- Approved = 16
- Rejected = 17 (to be confirmed)
To filter, compare the value against a numeric constant. For example:
- show only those that are in progress: = 2
- show only those that are not completed: < 5
- show only those approved: = 16
