Nintex eSign Jotblock Character Limits

In this blog I am going to go through how to set a character limit for a text jotblock in Nintex eSign. By limiting the amount if text you allow the user to input into the jotblock you can assure that when the document is generated after signing all the text that the signer input into that jotblock will be visible in the document.Let take a look at how to configure this. Open up the template in Nintex eSign you wish to configure this for, find the jotblock and open up the settings for that jotblock by clicking on the gear icon. After opening the settings window, click on the display tab and then under the validators dropdown select custom. Now we need to enter the regular expression that will be used to set the character limit in the jotblock and the validation message when that limit is reached. In this example the regular expression that is being applied will limit the characters in the jotblock to 10 or less. When that limit is reached the user will receive the validation mes

SQL view data pull limitation (5000 items)

I am currently working on a Nintex cloud form where I am pulling in the individual’s name and other demographic information from an SQL view we have created. The staff filling out the form will select this individual from a sql list of 7800 names. Then the name selected will be used to derive the other demographic fields related to that individual.The issue is that we are running into a data source limit of 5000 items so not all the names are populating. Only 5000 of the 7800 or so. Has anyone figured a way to get all the items into a data lookup on a cloud form? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Getting the file name (string) or the path of an attachment into a form varriable

I am currently working on a Nintex cloud form where the user is required to add an attachment in a few spots earlier in the form. These values and files are stored in the collection variable. At the end of the form, I’m making a Review Section where the user can see a summary of all the data they have entered earlier on the form and any files they have attached. I was able to make a label and pull in the other variables for the controls previously entered into this Review Section but not the attachment controls. Those attachment controls are greyed out in the form control dialog window. Is there anyway to extract the attachment filename or path into a string variable? That way I can have it appear in this review section? Thank you in advance.

NAC - Saving a start event form before fully completing

I am currently working on Nintex Automation Cloud form that is very lengthy and will take a lot of time to complete. There are 10+ steps and each step takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. Is there any way to save a form after each step or to save mid form? I feel like there will be scenarios where staff could get halfway through the form and then have internet issues or get a phone call and then lose all the data they have previously entered. Has anyone encountered a form/scenario like this?

UTC Timezone in NAC Tenant

Ok. I’m horrible with timezones. I’m a little confused though. I want to use the date/time in UTC for a deadline. Users are submiting a form globally. Based on their timezone, the cutoff is 1pm on September 18th. Since we can’t turn a form off on a schedule based on local time zone how do I make an email go out if they submit after cutoff day/time?I did set a date variable in workflow as current date and time. I did a condition on that variable against what time I knew it was in UTC that had lapsed. However, my condition was set for the timestamp is after 08/04/23 and 12:15 am UTC, if so send an email. If not, continue with workflow. It’s not recognizing the UTC time in the workflow. I was under the impression when it goes INTO NAC the system converts it to UTC. I also have everything in tenant set to UTC and the workflow set to UTC. I ran the workflow around 12:40 am UTC, which would be AFTER my condition for date/time. I do NOT understand why it’s saying it’s not after that time yet

Configure a K2 Process to Wait for Outside Events – Part 2

IntroductionThis is a follow-up to the post where I describe how we configure and complete asynchronous server events. I showed you how one can complete the server event using a REST call, but sometimes a REST call is not needed or possible. In this post I will extend the mechanism to make use of SmartObjects on a SmartForm. Use CaseFor this scenario, I am a technician, repairing customer machines on-site and I may not always have all the replacement parts on hand. When that happens, I can submit an order to the supplier which will deliver the part directly at the installation site. But, as we all know, deliveries are unpredictable and I won’t always be able to determine the actual delivery date and time.To handle the variability, K2 will start a process when I submit the order, generate a QR code as part of the weigh bill and then wait for the next step. When the part is delivered, the receiving department will scan the QR code, which in turn will proceed to the next step where I will

Removing Time from DateTime variables

I have a pretty straightforward form that is inserting DateTime variables from a SharePoint list but whenever they print to email, the data always includes the time as well as the date - which is not something that was included, so it always shows up as “12:00:00 AM”. Ideally, I’d like to format that out - but so far I havent found a way to do that. For example my Input would be:and the output is: SharePoint settings are as follows:

Unable to configure Nintex actions such as Set a Variable

When trying to update certain Nintex Actions (ex. Set a Variable, Run If), the action will time out when trying to open the action. The following error message appears: “Sorry, Something went wrong, An unexpected error has occurred”. This has recently started in the past month. It will work for a few minutes, then the error appears. Any suggestions? Using SharePoint 2013.

Webhooks sending blank documents

I have a webhook that is called upon Envelop Completion. This webhook simply calls an endpoint on a service that I am hosting. I am successfully receiving the calls but the base64 coming from the Binary Data fields ([Completed Document], [Original Document], etc) are always blank.If I manually test the webhook then I successfully receive a generic AssureSign document (yeah!). But I am unable to figure out why this does not work on completed envelops and their signed documents are not transferring.Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Trigger workflow to start when item is modified any time a Date form control is changed

How do you trigger a workflow to run anytime a Date control value changes? This could be changing from one date to a different date, or from a blank date to a filled in date.I believe this was possible to do in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2013 as it had a “compare to previous value” option you could select. In Nintex Workflow for O365 that option is not there for some reason. I have tried this simple approach shown in screenshot with no luck.Is there any way to pull this off? Any chance the “compare to previous value” option could be added to this version of Nintex?
