I was just given administrator access to my company's SharePoint 2010 site, and I need to implement an Approval workflow. This is an out-of-the-box workflow, and it is not currently available to me. The only help I have been able to find after exhaustive web searches is to navigate to Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Site Collection Features and activate the Workflows feature, which should be the last feature in the list.
The problem is, there is no Workflows feature in my top-level site's Site Collection Feature. There is only a "Three-state workflow" feature for workflows, and the Three-state workflow is the only one available. What would keep the "Workflows" feature from being displayed in the Site Collection Features list? I need to activate this feature to get access to the OOTB workflows and their functionality.
TIA!
Are you using SharePoint Foundation ?
The only workflow feature available for fondation is the Three State workflow. The Workflows Feature (out of the box) is only in Standard and Enterprise
