Calculated Field inside a repeating section cleared on Save

Hi All, Our calculated fields, inside a Repeating section, gets cleared when the form is saved. when in 'New' mode the values gets calculated and the sum of the Totals are calculated correctly. However, when the form is saved and reopened, the calculated fields are shown as blank as if the data does not get saved and the totals appear as zero. Have made sure that the values are set to recalculate on Edit and New Mode.Anyone else experienced the same and if so, any leads on how you might have resolved this please. Any leads would be appreciated.Thanks

Moving Nintex List Workflows from Test to Production with PowerShell

In our Test System, we have some lists with multiple workflows. Does anyone know of way to import all of the workflows into lists with a PowerShell Script?We have one main list with over 10 workflows and don't relish the thought of adding these one at a time through our multiple stage environments.This was my part of my response from support:Greetings Stephan, Regarding your questions: 1.  Need to know a procedure for move a list with a lot of Nintex Workflows to another site without exporting and importing the Workflows one by one. (Preferably something with PowerShell) a) You can try using this PowerShell to export workflows, you will need to modify it to see if it fits your needs:  https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/nintex_gallery/blog/2016/04/14/powershell-script-to-export-all-workflows-to-nwf-files  This approach uses our NWAdmin.exe tool with -ExportWorkflow switch, more info found here:  https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1026  However to import them back

Data mapping utility

I remember seeing a beta utility for doing data mappings inside of k2 studio a while back. Does anyone know anything about this or if it is available? It reminded me of doing mappings inside of biztalk from the look of it. This tool would be helpful in an upcoming project. Thanks.

SmartObject Error

I created a "departments" SharePoint list  and made it a smart object a few weeks back and have never had any issues accessing any of the data in it. Friday I got a new feature request that forced me to add a new column to that List. I add the column, populated it with data for every row, and went through the create smart object steps to get the new column into my workflow. When I refreshed the smart objects the column showed up as expected. I then  added a Data Event to read the value in the field and write it to a Data Field. Everything seem to take as I would expect. The project compiled without error and deploy with out error to my form library. However, any time my workflow process tries to execute the Data Event I get the following error:  The Source DateField: VPSA, does not exist or is not initialized. VPSA = the new column I added. I have deleted and re-created the column a few times but always end up with the same error.  It is a SharePoint Number field with 0 set for decimal

I used calculated value to display as a auto populated field which is a Person or group type. This works but i get the hash tags before the person name.

There is a solution I found in this blog. But it didn't solve my question. I used Replace({YOURINPUTTEXT},"[0-9]*;#","")This isn't working because I couldn't find the necessary (text) YOURINPUTTEXT in the Named controls.

Create a \Daily Summary\" Notification for Expiring Documents"

Hi All,Apologies for this rather amateur question.I have a SP site with a number of content types, each of these have their own retention policy (eg. 3 years, 5 years).Before items get deleted, I want to give the site admins a 7 day warning that a document is going to be deleted. However, the users don't want a flood of emails and have asked for a "daily summary" notification not unlike the way Alerts work in SP that allow for a daily summary of changes in a library.Could someone give me a hand explaining the required components I would need to generate this daily "expiring" items notification? How do I build the "list" of items that would get added to the email notification?thanks

How do we get a value from task form(flexi task) and update the same to the sharepoint list? Is that feature available in Nintex?

Here is the scenario. We are using flexi task (Infopath form) in which we would like to display some information from the associated list item and when we approve or reject the task some additional information(Value from the task form) should be updated to the associated list item. We could not use request data instead of flexi task since we need multiple users for approval other than a group or a single user. Does nintex support this feature in it? If not is there any workaround?

Non-IT department Forms/Workflow development?

How do other companies using Nintex Forms + workflow handle other users outside of IT who would like to build a form?  Or is that something that should be done at all?  We are currently receiving requests from multiple users for forms and workflows.  We are trying to determine if we should try to set up permissions to allow this, or if we should just handle them all within IT.Recommend? or no?Permission setup? Any insight from someone who does or doesn't do this would be appreciated.

Conditional Start Resource Use?

Greeting everyone,Is there a detailed explanation regarding the differences between using a Nintex "Conditional" start vs building the condition into the workflow? We have been told that using the "Conditional" start option causes performance issues due to Nintex even receivers. This link was provided to us as a reference.https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/blog/2014/09/23/best-practices-for-reusable-workflow-templatesMore specifically, is there a performance loss/gain using the "Conditional" start option for a "when modified" workflow that is associated with a List? Our team was under the impression that it was less resource intensive to use this option as the workflow wouldn't start. begin consuming resources, and be queued in the orchestration engine. We thought that this option was included into Nintex to allow workflows to be more efficient with resources by not running a workflow if not required. Having a workflow start and complete, even if it didn't perform an

After upgrading my K2 environment from 4.5 to 4.6. I am having the following issues:1. All my K2 processes intergrated with infoPath forms are returning this error: "Server was unable to process request. ---> List Item not found: Item ID ---> Input string was not in a correct format." i suspect the data mappings are failing. 2. Processes without infoPath intergration are working fine but the emails are not being sent to destination users and there is no error.Has anyone encountered this? please assist.

Does Nintex have the ability to read a CSV, Excel File or Text Document in a SharePoint Library?

A customer has recently asked me for an automated procedure to use a weekly file to create a list. At this point I'm thinking the file would be a CSV (Comma Separated) or an Excel File.  I have no problem deleting the old list. I'm just not sure how to access the file and if I understand how to read the data, I can build new records.If you have some code segments or workflows, that would help.thanks,Stephan
