We have a Nintex Form which will populate the current user information (sush as Name, Position, Department, ID and Company etc.) once the form is loaded. We notice that the loading of user query is now taking time. It is showing loading long time then come up the information. (Both IE and Chrome) Is there a way to check why it is taking time and optimize this? 

I have created the SQL request controls for country and after selected a country will populate the cities in another SQL control. However i failed to get the list of cities after selected the country.  I created a calculated column to display the select country, it display the France:#France. Kindly assists.       

I have some long and complicated workflows that I don't necessarily need users to be able to see when they go to the start page. I would rather they see on collapsed action set. Is there any way to do this?   When editing the workflow, I've put everything into a single actino set and collapsed it before saving and publishing, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on how the workflow is displayed on the start page. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Hello Community! I am working in SharePoint 2013 with Nintex workflows. From a sub-site I have saved four workflows as "Workflow Templates".  Now I want to use those same four workflows in another sub-site in the same site collection.  I have gone to the top site and clicked on both "Manage Reuseable Workflow Templates" and Manage Site Collection Reuseable Workflow Templates". In both cases, I don't see the four workflows, only empty lists. How can I reuse these reuseable workflows on another sub-site in the site collection?   Thanks!   Tom

I have a large workflow that I am receiving Out of Memory and/or Undefined messages when I try to save and publish. This is getting super frustrating because it has taken me weeks to complete by doing piece by piece by piece. I read that others are having this issue and to reboot the machine. This has not worked for me. Another had suggested to break this workflow into links and link it to each other. I am trying to get the best suggestions before I have to redo. If that has to happen, I fear I will boycout Nintex and quit my job. lolThanks in advance‌

Hi All,    I have any issue where I enter in a name into the people picker and the name will be aligned to the right when typing the name in the field instead aligns left when clicked. Any solutions here would be appreciated. 

 Symptoms Error:'List Name' ServiceObject is referencing the 'LookupList' property on the 'Field Name' Field that could not be found Diagnoses We found the issue was that the property was removed on SharePoint.The XML was correct within the DB however the XML within the SmartObject still contained the property causing the error in PandDPreviously we gave them an option to resolve their issue which was that they need to regenerate as such:A possible workaround for you is to regenerate the artifacts in SP.This should align the xml's. NOTE: you need to be aware that some customization might be lost, e.g if you edited the existing workflow to point to a custom SmO, form rules which you might have added after the items were generated etc. It will revert back to the default state of SharePoint after regeneration.You can however re-add the custom item afterwards.Steps to manually regenerate SmartObject and Forms:1. Navigate to Artifacts on SharePoint20132. New - Generate SmartObjects - OK3. I

Hi,   SharePoint version: 2010/2013 Nintex workflow version : 2010/2013   We have different XML files which gives some reports regarding Nintex workflows. For e.g. 30 Day Usage Summary For All Sites Completed Workflows For All Sites Errored Worklflows For All Sites Overdue For All Sites Workflow Actions Workflow Performace For All Sites I was able to get XML codes from Central Admin. I'm trying to create some custom XML code which will give me 24 hours or last 7 days or get date from users (if possible !!!). I then want to use them on my site using Nintex Reports Web-Parts.    I'm struggling right now in passing the filter parameters and create a new XML. Did anyone did this before?   Do I need to modify the stored procedures in Nintex database? As far as I know, Nintex doesn't supports that, is that right?   @vadim_tabakman .....any advice is greatly appreciated :)   Thanks,   KP

    I have a problem with saving my Nintex WF. I just found a similiar Porblem in the community, but the solution didn't work for me: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/SharePoint-urlOfFile-Parameter-name-Specified-value-is-not/ba-p/77662 This error only appears on one Sitecollection.     What I tried: deactivate/activating Nintex Wf feature on site/sitecolletion/webapplication When feature was deactivated - remove folder NintexWorkflow Reinstall Nintex in the Sharepoint Server Creating an new Content DB for Nintex   Have you any Idea?  

Hello everyone, recently i want to use nintex form to make sheet to finish work,but i met a problem. I want to  use web request control to get data and use this result to make do some action, like query something as a part or make it become a item property etc.But i dont know how to use it and how to configure it like Xpath or windows authentication. Thx very much.

The behaviour we are experiencing is as follows: I installed Nintex mobile app and added corporate accounts 1st prod farm – connected OK, no forms displayed Pre prod farm – connected OK, went to forms, “Items downloading” – load of forms appeared 2nd prod farm – connected OK, went to forms, “Items downloading” – load of forms appeared I raised a support ticket with Nintex who want fiddler trace which we are unable to do.  It is weird that only one farm is affected (and it's all users on the app that this happens with). What is weird though is if i go to an existing form on that farm and re-publish, it will appear.   Any help greatly appreciated

Just looking to see if anyone has attempted this scenario. I have a section of folks who are arbiters of information to be sent up through my chain for approval/concurrence/signature etc. Typically the information that needs action isn't just one document rather it has many supporting documents or email templates etc. Here is what I would like to happen:1. Arbiters open form by clicking on add new documents (will have to InfoPath atm)2. Fill in specific information, but large part is allow multiple attachments3. Have workflow kick off on submission: 3a. Take title name provided in form and create new Document Set with captured title 3b. All attached files from previous form now within newly created Document Set4. Approve documents within Document Set to then have the complete Document Set be moved/copied (retaining metadata/columns) to the principals document library for processing At this point I can't find much in Nintex workflows that "create" document sets. Any help would be greatl

Hey folks! I'm working on branding a Nintex Form template (classic mode) for a client and want to do things such as:   1. Change the colour of the icon in the repeating section row. 2. Change the hover and focus input colours for people picker fields. 3. Change the hover, first child, selected child colour for drop-down menus.Now, these are desktop only forms and typically I understand that these facets are controlled by the browser/Nintex defaults. However, we want the form branding to be consistent regardless of site branding and regardless of browser experience.    Ideally, we'd have permenant styling that was applied not through classes but directly to controls as they are dropped from the menu. So far I've managed to accomplish permenant styles for text input, buttons and the datepicker, but choice and people fields elude me, as do labels, and the repeating section icon, which uses an image, could be tricky. I'm not a CSS pro by any means. Even sharing the ui classes for these pro

Hi Everyone, we have a requirement where we have to use the legacy PP control and it will be required based on a checkbox, is there anyway i can achieve this knowing that we cannot create validation on legacy pp? a workaround or JS?   Thanks

We have been moving to Nintex Responsive forms for all our mobile and tablet users. We use SharePoint Online and most of our users have the SharePoint App installed on their phone. Apparently, Nintex Responsive forms will not open via the SharePoint App OR if you have the app installed on your phone. So when a user receives and email notification (from Nintex Workflow) with a link to open the Nintex Form, it does not open and you then have to select "Open In Broswer". In addition, if a users goes to a SharePoint list via the app to create a new form and clicks on "+ New" it opens up a SharePoint list and NOT the Nintex Form. Has anyone else had this experience or have any tips or tricks. The Nintex Mobile App is ok if you want to create a new Form, but you can't use it to open an existing completed form.   

I have a 2010 form migrated to Nintex for SharePoint 2019. In 2010, I was able to enter "24/12/19" in the control and saved, the form would accept it, translate it to "24/12/2019" and update the underlying list successfully. The 2019 migrated form now fails with a validation error "Please enter a valid date." and will not save. I have looked through the form validation settings in both the old and migrated versions and can find nothing different. Are there any new Nintex settings included in the 2019 version that would prevent this data format from being accepted? In the library settings, I have found the "Standard" vs "Friendly" setting on the "Date and Time" SharePoint column, however, my understanding is that this only relates to display, not data input. Any help in fixing this would be much appreciated.

For my workflow we generate a document that captures a checklist before it is sent to the approver and saves it in a pending folder.  Once the workflow is fully approved it writes to the document and saves it the completed folder. I've found that although the workflow has been fully approved the final audit checklist file has not been saved but see the pending document in the pending folder.  Any ideas as to why a document may not be generated even though the checklist has been approved? 

I am trying to publish/deploy a workflow via Powershell which contains the Action "Request Data".The problem is that those actions dont select the content types which are requiered for this action. They are just empty, but the content types exist. If I import the workflow manually, the contenty types are added correctly with all fields. But if I import / Deploy the workflow via Powershell, the content types (which are already existing, ofcourse) will not be added and the Action "Request Data" throws the warning "Content Type cannot be blank".Any ideas, why the content types will not be added to the Action?I am using this command:NWAdmin.exe -o DeployWorkflow -workflowName "AnfragenWorkflow" -nwfFile $pathNintexWorkflowAnfragen -siteUrl $siteCollectionUrl -targetList "Anfragen" -saveIfCannotPublish -overwrite

I have the need to query a nintex table to determine if a workflow task was responded to via Lazy Approval. I'm wondering if someone could tell me what table.coumn stores the indicator for a lazy approval.

Hi,I'm connected to my 2013 on premise SharePoint site through VPN. From my phone I can access my entire SharePoint site. My IT team set up Nintex Mobile to run through the VPN. Once the app was installed on my phone (Samsung S8) I was able to create an account (http://phyiscalsecurity.toronto.ca) and log in. As soon as I did, the task and forms sections said they were downloading items but once it was done downloading it says there are no tasks and no forms found for the supplied accounts.I have done the following:1. activated Nintex Live (not sure if I have to do this).2. deleted the local storage3. I have many Nintex responsive forms on my site but I added two Nintex classic forms and published them for a Nintex Mobile app.4. Deleted my entire account and started again5. Created an account pointing the exact subsite where I Nintex Mobile form has been published (http://phyiscalsecurity.toronto.ca/humanresources)6. In Central Admin I turned on FBA (I'm not sure if this is needed but

I'm having trouble producing a error if start date and time is greater than end date time. It only compares dates, but not time. I need both compared.

Hello,I am wanting to know if anyone has seen this issue before when using the Send Notification workflow object.Instead of getting the title of the item in the Subject line of the email that is sent to the end user I am getting random characters as seen in the screen capture below:If someone could explain how these characters are generated or what is generating them I would appreciate it. Hopefully I could gain some in site and understanding as to why this is happening.Also, I would appreciate it if someone can tell me how to fix this issue so that I get the title of the item being submitted beside the Approval Required that would be awesome.Thank you

Hi, I have created a form with a repeating section.  Within this section there an employee name field, which can be used to search for an employee.  When the employee search function is in use, the list of employee names is obstructed by the repeat section button.  Images attached.  Is there a way to fix this issue?  Thanks

I have a ForEach loop that works on a collection of 300+ items. The ForEach will loop through the collection items in batches of 50. The ForEach uses an index variable which increments by 1 on each loop. The ForEach will stop when the variable stop = true. When the index variable is greater than 50 we set the variable stop = true and the ForEach loop is stopped. The ForEach is contained within a Loop. The Loop will loop until the variable loop > 10. When we exit the ForEach we increment the loop variable by 1. The Loop restarts the ForEach. At this point I the value of my index is 51 however when we re-enter the ForEach the index is reset to 0.   Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

After the workflow completed , we need to delete the status like:completed or failed to start in sharepoint.   Could you please any one to help
