I haven’t seen a use case similar to yours. However, it looks like that you will need to write some custom code. But don’t worry, writing a C# code is not so difficult.

I heard that there is a way of using such workflow with external content type (SQL table). The idea is to use a sync between a custom table and the external content type.
The workflow is triggered on the custom table of course. But how would you sync the 2 tables? You’ll have to create the code for that, won’t you ?

To allow the manual start, the relevant check boxes should be marked during creation of the workflow (Figure 5).

To manually run a workflow, select the arrow next to the file name (Figure 8 ) and from the menu choose Workflow. Then click on the workflow you want to start.

Instead of we defining users to approve, I need the end users to select users for their document to be approved.

Ex: Staff X submits a document to the document library and will select 4 users (his line managers) to approve his document. Each manager will get a notification (one after another – serial workflow) for this and eventually the document gets approved.

I want to know how a end user can select user by his own?…
