Hello everyone,   I'm new to Nintex workflows and we have a requirement where we need to add a task action to workflow definition that's already created and have certain in progress workflows running. Also , is there a way to deploy/push the new actions to the workflow definition through powershell ?  I believe that the new task action will take effect with workflows that will be triggered new and not for existing in progress workflows.   Pleas let us know if any one has any idea . Thanks in advance !

I have a noticeable problem on a form where I added a field later in my sequence. The field is a Name Field. Even though it is the far top left field, the focus lands on the Department field to the right. I couldn't find any attribute to change the order of focus or tab order. Where are the rocks--so I can walk on water ;-)Please point to something obvious or some inciteful code.thanks, I'm looking for my second miracle today--you guys are good!Stephan 

I have a list with a Number column and created a Responsive Nintex form for this list.   I need to add a validation on this column to only accept integer numbers.   Here is what I've done:     Regular expression: ^(d|,)*d*$          But it is not working!   Could you please advise?  Kate  

Hi,   I've got a basic document approval workflow that uses 'Assign Flexi task' for the approver with just approve and reject as outcomes.   This has worked fine, however I now have the requirement to include 'date for review' within it as well. This is for the approver to manually type in the date for approval to be used elsewhere within the workflow.    What is the best method to get this from the approver?   Is there anyway to adjust the 'Assign Flexi Task' to include this also? Or should I use 'Request Data' as an option? Ideally, I'd prefer it to be all in one request. The date is always manually selected based on the approver so there is not way to automate it.   If anyone can advise what has worked best for this type of situation I'd really appreciate it!   Thanks

Hi all! The image I attached is part of the WF that I developed. I have the following scenario: PM1 delegates the task that was assigned by mistake to PM2. PM2 requests task review. The reviewer comments on the task and as the workflow continues with the CHANGE OF STATUS, but the task is returned to PM1 and NOT to PM2. The question i have is: How can I return the task to the delegated PM (PM2)? Could you give me some tip or idea on how to develop this?   Thank you very much, I would appreciate your help. Regards, Marcela

Hello,   I have what I think is a simple requirement to set the value of a field in a Nintex Custom form on-prem based on user selection of another field (drop down) "Role" field with choices: Coder 1 Approver 1 Approver 2 ... "Amount" field (Single Line of Text)   I need the Amount field to populate based on user selection from Role field and attempted formatting rule on Amount field several ways - none have worked: Once I get a simple rule to work, I can expand to cover the rest - something I think will look like: if(Role=="Coder 1", "0.02", if(Role=="Approver 1", "2,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 2", "25,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 3" ,"50,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 4", "100,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 5", "150,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 6", "250,000.00", if(Role=="Approver 7", "2,500,000.00",""))))))))   Thus far I cannot get any value to populate in the Amount field with a rule.  Would really appreciate some help!   Don

I'm using a flexi-task along with reminders/escalation.  After the configured reminders are sent and it reaches the escalation threshold, the escalation properly "times out" when not responded to.   The problem is it only offers by default a "Status" of: complete task, Delegate task and none.  I would like to add another type if possible so upon "high-level" review of the workflow doesn't say complete, but another named "Status". The corresponding "Outcome" field is appropriate per my configuration, I'd just like to know if I can configure another "Status" instead of Complete (or Delegate which I don't want to use).   I understand there may be other ways to design this using other actions and features, but based on time and my current needs a new state would be ideal at this point.  I am interested in other ideas for future enhancements though if offered too!   Platform: SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Nintex Workflow 2013: 3.3.1.0   Thank you, John

I do have two pannel with the same column name called personnel type(drop down). How do i connect personnel type choice control to look up fields in sharepoint list?

Is there anyway to specify either the current users, or a person selected in a people picker, Manager is a people picker field on a form?  From what I can see it doesn't look like the default value for people picker fields will let you use the 'userProfileLookup' runtime function which would be perfect.  The default value also will not let you use workflow variables for some reason? Does anyone know an easy work around to get that working? P.S.I can easily populate a calculated field with a users manager, this question is specifically about populating a people picker field with this value.  We have numerous employees that report to multiple people so we'd like to allow the employees to change the specified manager if needed.  Thanks.

Hi all!I need your valuable help and tips.I'm developing a workflow that, if not approved in 10 business days, three flexi tasks, must be completed automatically. Also these 3 flexi tasks also have escalations .. the tasks must be escalated to the head of the approver in case of being due. How could I implement this? Flexi tasks only have one type of scaling at a time:Delegate the task to the approver's manager OR Complete the task after 10 days, but not both.   Thanks for helping!!

Hi everyone,I'm currently struggling with installing a Nintex Mobile Enteperprise App to some iOS devices. We set up Certificates and Provisioning profiles as requested and built the app.I once registered the UDIDs of my two devices (iPhone and iPad) in Apple Developer Portal and I am able to install the apps there. I'm also able to update the app after building them again in App Studio.I now want to add the app to 3 additional devices. I registered the UDIDs in the Apple Developer Portal, updated the provisioning profile and rebuilt the app. After build completes I tried to install the app using the App Deploy feature. The app is downloading to the device but when it starts installing it fails with "unable to download app" and is deleted immediately again.I also tried installation via iTunes but it also gives me the same error.I only have a single certificate and provisioning profile and both are shown as valid in App Studio. As said I can reinstall it to the first two devices I had w

I have 3 lists: 1) "Branch" 2) "Survey" > looks up [Sites] (multiple choice) in "Branch"   3) "Response" > looks up [Sites] (drop down) in "Branch", and [Survey Title] in "Survey"   A Survey item indicates which [Applicable Sites], from the multiple choice values, must respond by a [Due Date].   The Response list contains 1 Response/Survey.    I need to periodically send reminders to the Sites which have not yet responded.   I created a workflow in the "Survey" list that splits the choice field and I was able to have a For Each Site action to work (Regular Expression to split and save in a Collection Operation), then ...  how would I compare each value in Survey, to return the missing sites items in Responses?   Thanks, Monica

Need to know which workflows are active in our farm(s), run in the last xx days. Ideally, a report listing each workflow, the collection and site it lives in, the workflow name, and last date run. I see lots of powershell to list workflows but do not see any to get last date run.
