Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

Topic Last Modified: 2009-10-09

Workflow settings that you configure globally apply to all sites in a Web application. You can enable deployment of user-defined Microsoft SharePoint Designer workflows, allow non-authenticated users to participate in workflows, and disable the automatic cleanup of workflow history that is older than 60 days.

In this section:

• Enable or disable declarative workflows (SharePoint Foundation 2010)

  Use this procedure to enable or disable workflows that were created and deployed by using Microsoft SharePoint Designer or a third-party application.

• Allow non-authenticated users to participate in workflows (SharePoint Foundation 2010)

  Use this procedure to allow users who have not been authenticated to receive e-mail messages from workflows and tasks.

• Disable preservation of workflow history (SharePoint Foundation 2010)

  Use this procedure to disable the workflow automatic cleanup job which, by default, removes workflows and workflow entries 60 days after a workflow is completed or canceled.
