Let me start off by saying I am new and very green to both Sharepoint and Nintex. So I will apologize upfront if this question is a dumb one. I am a maintenance Supervisor and we have decided to create Team Sharepoint sites to help organize some routine functions and close communication gaps. I have created a form using Infopath that my techs fill out daily and then submit it to a Document Library on their Sharepoint site. I have the Form published to a Form library on the same site. When the tech submits his form it is saved in the Document Library as a Infopath .xml file. I saw in Nintex Workflow that their is an Action called Convert. I have been trying to figure out how or if I can make it take the .xml file and convert it to a .pdf file. If that is possible to do the next step would be to delete the original .xml file. What I am trying to accomplish is preventing someone from being able to open a completed form and making changes to it after it has been submitted and I can't find

Hello All,I am having a few issues when a user tries to respond to a task using Lazy Approval. If they respond using Lazy Approval, the workflow fails and gives the following error: Error in request approval action. Unauthorized attempt to update approval task by <domain name><userID>, The response has not been recorded. And the outcome shows 'Error.'The user in question has appropriate permissions to approve the tasks, and if they approve / reject it using SharePoint interface it works fine. This happens only with Lazy Approval.  I am using Nintex Workflows for SP 2016, version 4.3.0.10Could anyone please help me with this? Thanks,Adi

Hi All,  I have a Nintex Form with (Web Request) which is working fine when detail is selected by the user and submitted on forms. I Only get an error come up when the user doesn't select anything from the list and keep it empty (Multi Selected items) and submitted the form. I get an error like (an error has occurred in Create User) and give me this link - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/common-error-messages-in-sharepoint-workflow-development I have no idea how to make it work please any help welcome.    

On many of my forms, Calculated Controls are used to display informative messages to the end user. For example, once a form has been approved, I might display the following snippet:  The Calculated Control formula for the "Approved by ..." message is as follows: Approval Outcome + " by <strong>" + userProfileLookup(ApprovedBy, "PreferredName") + "</strong> (" + userProfileLookup(ApprovedBy, "WorkEmail") + ") on " + formatDate(ApprovedOn, "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt") Every time this form opens, the Calculated Control has to... well... calculate, and this involves two userProfileLookup() calls, and a formatDate() call. Once this form has been approved and the Calculated Control is evaluated for the first time, it would be nice to not have it re-calculate every time the form is subsequently opened. Which brings me to my question: is there a better way? By "better" I mean in terms of performance by eliminating the need for repeated calculations. Can the output of this Calculated Cont

Hi Folks, I just produced a use case for a project we are working on with @mlauer's excelent Repeating section as html table in mail post. My output table in the email this workflow produces looks like figure 1. This is a huge leap forward from the looping mechanism I was using before with my InfoPath form. I want it to look like figure 2 (an Excel mock-up) though with a bold heading and formatted for curreny in the last two columns. I also want to add an additional row at the botom that renders a grand total. Can anyone tell me how to add the inline CSS styles I need into the following XSLT code? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Items"> <table border="1" width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:#eee;border:1px solid;color:black;font-s

Hi all, I want to make a people field required, if a decision is approved within the flexi task.  I did it like it is descripted in several post within this forum:  1. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/people-field-required-if-Approve-is-selected-in-a-Flexi-Task/td-p/26062 2. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/Using-validation-rules-to-ensure-a-comments-box-is-not-left/ba-p/85225/page/2#comments   But it did not work for me. I´m also aware, that it is not shown in preview mode and I`ve checked if the value for "Approve" is "1". Any ideas are welcome, because I´m kind of desperate.    That´s what I´ve added  as a validation rule to the person field I want to validate: (Decision=="1")&& isNullOrEmpty({Self})

While testing a workflow we discovered that the person requesting a workflow approval can delegate the workflow to themself then they are able to approve their own request.  Is there a way to disallow workflow approvals by the submitter/requestor?

Hi Team, We have sharepoint 2013 onpremise version and have nintex workflow running on it. We have multiserver farm where we have 2 WFE and 1 app server and 1 SQL server. In SharePoint health analyzer, we are getting notification that "one or more service is the farm has unexpected state" fon our app server. We have checked and found that on app server "Nintex Live Workflow Queue Service" service is stuck on starting state. However all our workflows are running fine they are being processed successfully. Now we need to know if stopping and starting this service has any impact on our sharepoint farm/workflows and if no how we can restart it and what should be the status of this service in sharepoint farm (Stop or start) could you please help us to understand this.
