I am using Nintex Responsive Form Builder. I have a Panel that I want to keep hidden until the values of two fields called Sent to IT and Sent to AS are both = "Yes". Is this possible in Responsive Forms Designer? If so, what is the expression that I need to use to show/hide the panel. Thanks in advance. Dean   @jesse_mchargue 

I have a sharepoint list with 600+ entries, I have now changed the form so that the choice options default to Yes rather than Select, I have published it but when I open an existing entry the defaults are not showing and is defaulting back to Select. New forms open correctly, is there anyway I can refresh the existing entries as you could with InfoPath?

 I have a long form broken down into panels and each panel is either hidden or unhidden depending on the choice selection, now it works fine in preview but when I publish it, the panels are either right at the bottom or so there is large white spaces between the choice menu and panel. I have gone through every panel and made sure there is nothing out of place. Some of the panels have repeating sections so would expand - would that have any effect, should I allow more space on the form to allow for this?

I currently have a form set up where a manager can input their employee ID, it returns a list of their direct reports.  The return list has a built in checkbox, i would like to return the state of the checkbox and the employee ID of the direct report to the workflow on form submission.  My code is using a jQuery foreach loop to parse the returned table for the checkbox state and employee ID. I'm not having any problem with the checkbox at all, but the employee ID is returning an array with each index is the complete list of employee IDs x# of times (where x is the number of employees returned in the initial search).  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?   Here is the code im currently using    function Getresults(){var SSO = "";var chbx = "";var SSO_arr = [];var chbx_arr = [];NWF$(".ms-vb-title").each(function () {if ( $( this ).hasClass( "ms-vb-title" ) ) {SSO = $(".ms-vb-title").text(); }SSO_arr.push(SSO); });NWF$(".s4-itm-cbx").each(function () {if($(this).prop("checked")){chbx = True;}el

Before Go Live, I need to clean out data from a farm.  There's one primary site collection where workflows run, and they capture Nintex Workflow data into a specific Nintex Workflow content database.  I've manually stopped all running workflow instances and deleted all the items and tasks from the site collection and emptied the recycle bin.  After running NWAdmin -o purgeWorkflowData to remove records for my 9 workflows in question from the Nintex Workflow content database, I am left with an empty HumanWorkflow table.  However, the HumanWorkflowApprovers table and the HumanWorkflowApproversMetadata tables are not empty.This raises some questions:Why is there still data in these tables even though the HumanWorkflow table is empty?Are these orphaned records?Can I just delete them with DELETE T-SQL statements?If I don't, will my Nintex Report and Chart web parts show incorrect results?

I am developing document management system using on-premise sharepoint 2016.I have developed approved,uploaded,rejected lists.I want to develop a dashboard(list dashboard)which will specify count of each list for a login user.It means it will have count of uploaded documents,count of approved documents and so on. Is there any way to do it?

I need to copy a list from the parent site to a child site. I can copy everything fine except the repeating section. The repeating section contains 2 fields: user role field and the user people picker field. The section was saved as such in the parent site <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><PMOName type="System.String">i:0#.w|domainfname_lname1</PMOName><Role type="System.String">Editor</Role></Item><Item><PMOName type="System.String">i:0#.w|domainfname_lname2</PMOName><Role type="System.String">Reviewer</Role></Item></Items></RepeaterData>   I copyed the  above value exactly to the child site. However when I tried to diplay the form, the role field is OK, but the name field is empty.  I am wondering: 1. Why the same value is dislayed OK on the original parent site, but not on the copied child site? 2. Should I convert i:0#.w|domainfname_

Hello, I like to create a Workflow where I can only send (or highlight) changes of single values in a Mail. Background of the request:I created a onboarding list to write down the first information of a new employee. Once the list item is created several departments getting an e-mail with the information: Human Resources dep. gets the information of the person, IT gets the information to creat an account and to order hardware equipment. A workmate was aksing: What if someone enters wrong information? Will he get the same mail with the changed information? Is it better to send only the changed information or highlight the changed information. I only know the following way: 1. Create for each column in the form a second column in display mode 2. If you change one value (for example the birthday) the WF should check for each column if the value in "display-mode" column is the same as in "edit-mode" column. If the values are not the same the "edit-mode" column value should be send in an e-

I have a button on my form, which copies fields from previous list item created by same person. Right now I have to specify the ID of the list item, which is inconvenient. Is it possible to iterate in javascript through every item on the list and select let's say 5 recent items? Then the user would select one of them from dropdown list instead of typing the id manually. 

I want to set a value to a control by clicking Save and Continue button with Javascript. However the field of client click isn't appeared for the Save and Continue button. So I did below. 1. Put a button control and change the button action as "Save and Continue" and give it the class as "mySaveAndContinueButtonClass". 2. Put another button control and change the button action as "Javascript" and put below code in the client click field.  NWF$('#' + CID_Title).val("My value");$("input.mySaveAndContinueButtonClass").click(function()); After the form published it seems the "Save and Contiune" button is clicked by clicking "Javascript" button but saving doesn't happen. What is worng? Or do you have alternative solution for this?   I know that a value can be set to a control by setting "Connected to " but I need to do it by Javascript.

Hi Experts, I am trying to prepare my SP 2013 environment for a SP 2016 migration. I am trying to follow the steps defined in the section "Use an existing configuration database". As defined I have stopped ‘SharePoint Timer service’ from WFE and APP server by opening the services.msc window on each of the server. Took Nintex configuration DB backup using the SQL Management studio. Until this everything worked.   As a next step, I restarted the ‘SharePoint Timer service’ on WFE and APP sever. Now when I try to restore the backed up DB using the restore command I am facing an error indicating that the DB is in use. Here is the actual error message – “Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use”. The error indicates that the config DB is being used and I need to stop it somehow.   Here is what I tried so far:   Tried keeping the Timer service in Stopped status Change DB .ldf and .mdf file names along with DB name to be different than original DB name   Can anyone

I recently created a number of SharePoint lists with the intenstion of creating Nintex Forms and Workflows, with them.   Most of them are simple, and are taking inputed data, collecting it in the list, and sending an email to different parties.   In all cases, these new lists/workflows are not sending emails.  I have a number of other Nintex Workflows on the same SharePoint 2013 site, and those are working perfectly, so that leads me to believe that both the SMTP server and Nintex send email settings are setup correctly and working.   What at the list level would be preventing this?  I should note that I am a farm admin and site collection admin, so I have the highest level of permissions.

This is the first time I have run across this issue, and my searches have not turned up any possible solutions.    Environment: SharePoint 2016 (May 2019 Patches) 2 WFE'S 2 APP 2 Search   The error occurs when deploying Nintex 2016 Enterprise (latest version), on only occurs on one of the WFE's, all of the other servers deploy properly.   Solution Name: nintexworkflow2016core.wsp Error: The Execute method of job definition "SPSolutionDeploymentJobDefinition" (id "cae305f0-2070-4b07-a512-471cadf17dc2") threw an exception. I/O error occurred.  

I created an attendance tracking workflow that issues numerical "points" for each missed day and then emails the user letting them know they were issued points.  I would like to include the total points that the user has outstanding in the email notification.   The points column is a standard number field, I need the workflow to query this column for the selected user, sum the points and dump into a variable for me to use in a notification.  New to Nintex, Any ideas?

Hello, I am new to nintex. Ok, I want to create a workflow for a telephone subsidy. where the person has seven days to complete the form; if it not completed by seven days every day they will continue to get emails asking them to complete the form. I started the send notification, calculate the date, the what if is confusing me? 

I have a couple Nintex forms setup that have a multi-line text field, with the Append Changes to Existing Text feature set to 'Yes'.  We are using this to track conversations between the end user and the individual working the request.  We like this feature because it documents the date and time the person entered their comment.  I know the fields and settings are SharePoint based, but we are using them in conjunction with Nintex forms.What we have been noticing is that sometimes, and we have not been able to track it down to one specific situation, but the entries are getting deleted.  Either the entire conversation is deleted, or individual entries get deleted.What can cause this to happen?  More importantly, how can we prevent/stop this from happening going forward?Thank you!

I have a simple workflow where a user puts in a request to the responders group that can handle it.  (The group currently has 5 members.)  Any member of the responders group can handle the request and close it out or send it back.  That's fine.  A "Assign Flexi Task" where the first response rules. But, a lot of requests come in over the course of the day, some can be handled quickly and others will take long time (half hour to an hour--in time away from their desk).  They want a way to tell that someone else is working on a task (and know who is working it) so they can skip it and work on the next one. I'm working on setting up a State Machine where they can set the status to "Complete" "Return to Originator" and now "In Process" (or "I've got it."), and also "Initial".  The idea is that the workflow goes to the original Flexi Task and all 5 get it.  One of them looks at it and sets it to "In Process".  That completes the Flexi Task, but it comes right back around to another Flexi Tas

Hi all, I need to create a workflow to send notification to creator based on below scenarios: 1. If a task passed task due date by 30 days send a reminder (notification). 2. If a task passed task due date by 60 (a month) days send a reminder (notification). 3. If a task passed task due date by 90 (a month) days send a reminder (notification). i have created a variable called reminder and used Calculate date to add 30 days                         and then add the run field:                     and then send notification.                             since this is not working i havnt start for 60 and 90 days yet, 

We are having an issue when importing the renewed Nintex Forms and workflows 2016 enterprise licenses.  We are getting the following error:      we have tried the following:  After importing the license, the page temporarily shows the new correct expiry date for 2020 and the server names. All looks correct. once we perform an IIS reset, the date reverts back to the old expiry date. As if it is cached somewhere and couldn't commit after the IIS reset.    And yes, we have tried all this:  - Contacting licensing team and re-issuing the license files. - Getting other license files for forms and workflows seperatly instead of the combined file. - Checking the box to import forms first then workflows - and workflows first then forms.  - we tried to import prod license to dev.. for giggles... same error. - We tried with an elevated personal user permissions and also with the farm account.  - we have to make sure DEV is working perfectly before applying Prod, so the option to try the Prod lic

We have an issue with SharePoint and Nintex Mobile. We have some forms already created for Nintex Mobile and want to get them out into the field. However when we published SharePoint to the internet for staff to access they were getting multiple prompts. So we had a form created that allows for users to type in their credentials and then it logs them in with only one prompt, I believe this is done via the firewall. Our firewall is externally managed.However, we have installed the latest version of Nintex Forms which allows for Forms Based Authentication. But when setting up Nintex Mobile on the device it comes up with the form above.It then states that the Corporate Account was created on Nintex Mobile When browsing to the Forms or any other item within Nintex Mobile, we get the error "An error occurred while requesting data for the accounts. please go to the settings screen to check the error."When checking the settings screen the message is:-"The server encountered an unexpected cond

Hi all,   I am quite new to Nintex and have a question regarding a Javascript action that should be executed when a certain button in my Nintex Form has been clicked.The goal of the Javascript action is to start a child workflow that terminates the main workflow which is running on the current item.   I tried looking for solutions in the community, but as I have never used Javascript I do not understand any of the scripts and I would not even now where to insert them.   What I tried to do now is to create a single line of text column called "Terminate WF?" with the default value "No". As my child workflow will start once this column contains the string "Yes", I just need the button to turn the "No" into a "Yes" when it is clicked.  I tried configuring this with the control settings of the button: This was just my first try, I assume that putting the same commands in "Client Click" and "Value Returned" won't work, but I also have trouble to understand what these Actions would do in my s

Hello, Newly appointed SharePoint guy for my organization here.  I have a very simple question that I am hoping someone can help me with.    I am creating a travel workflow.  In my secondary approver Nintex form I created several columns in my list settings that were text boxes.  These will be used for travel coordnators to enter bulk information.  On my final approval Nintex Form I can select the column just fine however it does not link.  It appears, in my preview, as a free txt field rather than carrying over the bulk information.    How do I fix this?  The goals is the bulk information to come to the final approval form.    

Hi, Is there any functionality in Nintex that will copy an list item and all of its versions to an second list.  The second list has all of the same fields, but the Copy Item function is only taking the last version of the list items. Thanks
