NWC Deployments Best Practices for Multiple Environments

OverviewAfter creating an NWC workflow, it must be deployed for consumption. There are 3 different approaches one can take when deploying an NWC workflow.Use OOTB UI deployment with one environment. Not recommended, especially if the solution being deployed has several connections and each could have different environment configurations.Note: It’s also possible to export/import from/to the same environment, as you are able to set a new name as “import time”. Use the OOTB UI deployment to export/import to multiple environments. Recommended and outlined below. Use NWC's API to handle deployments in bulk to multiple environments. Powerful automated approach for solutions with multiple workflows, but proceed with caution, as the aforementioned deployment tool has yet to be fortified and undergo rigorous testing. This has been tested w/about 100 workflows and appears to work well. The only shortcoming of using the API is you cannot import a workflow if one with the same name already exists,

Redirect on customised document set form

Standard SharePoint document set form, once saved to create a new document set, user is redirected to the newly created document set.Document set form customised with Nintex Form doesn't do this.  Instead it redirects user back to the library, where they then need to find the newly created document set and navigate to it (causing an extra click).  This isn't acceptable to my customer - anyone know how I can easily overcome this?Euan Gamble‌ did this come up in Document Set forms testing?

Workflows getting duplicated when deploying from TEST environment to PRODUCTION environment in K2 cloud

K2 Version:  K2 Cloud Update 19 FP02 Workflow is getting duplicated when deploying from TEST environment to PRODUCTION environment in K2 cloud.This is creating confusion as there are multiple workflows in designer and while I try to open , it doesn’t seem to show the latest changes from test environment. The same when I checked in K2 Management, the newly deployed version shows the newly added tasks :O I want to get rid of these duplicates safely without affecting the users as its production environment. I also want to make sure ,since the latest and default version in K2 management shows the latest changes, it will work as expected. If anyone one has faced similar issue, please share on how you fixed it.  Any help would be much appreciated!!Thanks

Clear managed metadata field

This should be easy, but it's not working.I have a form on a list that includes a Managed Metadata field.  The field is not required and only allows a single value.  It is possible to enter a value in the field or change an existing entry from one value to another value in the term set.  However, it is not possible to remove an existing value and go back to a blank field.  I can remove it in the form but the value is still there after I save the changes.  The version history shows that I changed the item but no field is shown.The problem happens on a pristine form with absolutely no changes made.  This is on SharePoint 2016 with Nintex Forms 4.3.2.0.If anybody has an idea of how to remove a value from a MM field, please pass it along.Sheila

Cascading drop downs and Nintex Forms for SharePoint

Here we demonstrate how to create a cascading dropdown using Nintex Forms.The video is shown on Nintex Forms 2010, but the same applies to Nintex Forms 2013.In this written example, I demonstrate with a common State to Store relationship. You'll need to create three SharePoint lists, two of which contain the lookup information for the cascading drop down. Create the SharePoint ListsCreate two custom lists. These custom lists form the basis for the lookups, which the main list will look the cascading information up from.Navigate to a SharePoint Team Site. Click the Site Settings icon, and select Add an App. Select Custom List, and call it "State". Click Create. Open the newly created SharePoint list, and click new item. In the Title field, enter "VIC", and click Save. Repeat step 3 and enter “NSW”, “ACT”, “NT”, “QLD”, “WA”, “TAS”, and “SA”.Create the Second SharePoint List - StoresClick the Site Settings icon, and select Add an App. Select Custom List, and call it "Stores". Click Create

Just upgrade Nintex workflow and forms latest n greatest...user is reporting error that says a Stored Procedure is missing or cannot be found...

So last week we updated our Workflow and Forms to the latest versions and I am now having a user report that they are seeing the below error.Server unable to process request --> Could not find stored procedure "NM_DeleteFormByWorkflowBaseID".Now my first thought is that the Nintex DB needs to be updated.  After the install, I did update it in Central Administration in SharePoint.  But when I go to the "DataBase Setup" page in CA, I do not see the "Upgrade Necessary" or whatever the text is next to the DataBase version or config db.Do I need to do a server reboot to get things to talk straight?My current DB version is 2.0.3.0.Should I re-run the install?

Document Creation Workflow Error

I have a workflow that previously worked just fine (and also a copy of the exact workflow working correctly on another library). It's a workflow to create an excel document in a library after an item is entered onto a list. The error I'm receiving is "The workflow could not create the list item. Make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to add items to the list." followed by "The workflow operation failed because the action requires the document to be checked in."   Pertinent information: I've removed all permission restrictions from the library. All users have Contribute level access. I also ensured that the "require document checkout" is toggled to no. I'm fairly certain that the issue is with the library.   Any idea on how I can fix this?

Creating folders, subfolders and files in Nintex workflow.

Good day Nintex community, I am not familiar with the development in Nintex workflow and  have been struggling for weeks now, please help. I am using Nintex 2013 I need to come up with a step in Nintex workflow where I have to create a folder in a document Library, inside that folder there should be subfolders and inside the subfolders there should be files. I have used the "create item" action and I was able to create folders and subfolders, however I am struggling to place the files provided inside those subfolders. so that every time the workflow runs it should automatically create those folders, subfolders and files in a document library. below is the screenshot of how I configured the action, I have created variables for folders and set have set each variable. also is there a way of setting the variable in one place/action with Nintex workflow 2013?

Q: Is there a "prerequisite checklist" I can use to prepare for a K2 on-prem upgrade?

Q: I would like to be as prepared as possible for my upcoming upgrade to the latest version of K2 Five. I have read through quite a bit of documentation, and I am pretty confident that I have gathered all the necessary information as well as met all the prerequisites, but I have a nagging feeling I am forgetting something. Is there a document that K2 can provide that brings all of the information I am going to need together in one place? A "prerequisite checklist" of sorts? A: Please find attached the "K2 Upgrade Planning Sheet.docx" document. This document can be used as a planning sheeting which can serve as an aid in the planning for the upgrading of the K2 Five environment. It covers a checklist of all the Environment Information you will need, such as the accounts used in the installation, the required permissions needed, as well as Server and Software information you should have on hand. It will be a great reference to have to allow you to collect all the information in one place

Date and Time Format Strings - Quick Reference Guide

I've been referencing the MSDN articles a lot recently on Date and Time format strings and sometimes I get confused by the many options and sometimes these formats do not carry over or function. So I wanted to build a quick reference sheet that I can refer to in my workflows and forms. First, how to use the inline and runtime functions. fn-FormatDate in WorkflowsRepresents a date time value in text of a specific format. Usagefn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, d) Other NotesFor workflow inline functions, using single quotes takes the value as a literal. So for the formateDate function fn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, 'D') provides the value of D. Using double quotes or no quotes produces the same result. For example:fn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, "dd/MM/yyyy") and fn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, dd/MM/yyyy) both produce 11/08/2015fn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, "D") and fn-FormatDate({WorkflowVariable:MyDate}, D) both produce Tuesday, August 11,

WF Intermittently Failing. "Error in request approval action. Unauthorized attempt to update..."

Hi Everyone,   I have a workflow that works and fails sporadically, with no changes in between. It is failing in and around the Lazy Approval reply (Using accepted term on server). Full error message: "Error in request approval action. Unauthorized attempt to update approval task by Manager. The response has not been recorded." I tested with my account (admin) on Friday, it failed. Tested with same account today, it worked. Today for example, 1 user submitted 4 workflows and same manager approved: 3 times it worked, once it failed. Any ideas as to what would cause or correct this sort of inconsistency? See attachments for error.   Thanks,

Purging workflow data automatically on schedule

Hello all,anyone knows if there is any way how to create kind of a task in CA for instance to use PurgeWorkflowData with certain parameters, which would run regularly instead of having to go to CA, set the filter Run the query and purge it manually? Or anyone knows how to use NWAdmin.exe with filter parameters in powershell script? All I so far found is the creation of the batch files and then windows tasks out of it, which I find quite cubersome for such important task to do. I would expect this option to be configurable in CA.. Thanx for any kinda reply. Jan

Considerations for Migrating or Upgrading Nintex for SharePoint

QUESTIONWhat considerations should be made when upgrading to a later version of Nintex for SharePoint?ANSWEREnsure the destination environment has the same content.To prevent upgrade issues from third-party tools, read this first: Nintex Workflow Backup and Restore. Nintex requires that the destination environment contain the same content as the source environment: GUIDs, content types and directory structure. Third-party tools can change this content, causing issues during upgrade. Use the Database Attach method for migration.The primary supported migration method for full content migration is the Database Attach method. For more information, see Nintex Workflow Backup and Restore. This method ensures migration of all content and ensures that running workflows continue. Any other method requires running workflows to cease during migration.Migrate to the next immediate version before migrating to the desired version. Migrating directly from Nintex for SharePoint 2007 to Nintex for Shar
