I'm kind of new to Nintex. Is it possible to query a Sharepoint list and store the results in a collection? I know I can query a database table, how about a list?   Thanks,   JesseY

Hello,   I am wodering if idle workflows use server resources.   We have an on premise installation of Nintex.   Thank you.

We are using SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with Nintex Forms and Workflow 2010.  We have over 3000 list items in several lists that are using Nintex Forms to render their appearance. These forms need to be migrated to SharePoint Online before October 2020, there are no plans to use Nintex in SharePoint Online so we require to migrate these across as PDF's stored into libraries. How can this be acheived? Thank You

Good morning all I am using this formula to display the user name from a Person or Group filed (Assigned to) in a separate list (Digital Services Task List):     parseLookup(lookup("Digital Services task list", "ID", Task ID field, "Assigned to"))   It returns the user name: I would also like to display the users email address: Is there a way to modify my formula to return the EMail value instead of the display name?

Hi everyone i am new to Nintex and i want to know what is the below 2 option means: 1.use date when action is excuted   2.Include time i am creating a new variable which should be 15 days greater than Created filed. i am not too sure if i have to ticke those 2 options or not.

How do I set the default date on a mobile form to be two days from the current date?  I have set the sharepoint column (the connected field) default value to be =[Today]+2. which works perfectly on the desktop form. On mobile it just defaults to today, given that I'm connecting to the exact same column in SharePoint.  why is this happenning and how can I fix the mobile field?I'm using Nintex Classic forms on SP/Nintex on premise 2013 

Hello,   I use the PrintToPDF function to generate a PDF from a Nintex form. I would like to print all attachements of the element to the PDF file as well. Is this possible?   Thanks,     panc

I have a workflow that includes a Execute SQL action. If I run this workflow manually or start it from another workflow the workflow runs without issue. It will also run without issue if I manually start a site workflow that includes a web service call to start the workflow on a list item.If this same workflow is changed to start conditionally or I the schedule the site workflow (instead of manually starting) the workflow errors with the following:Error performing database operation. System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.The only difference would be the account that initiated the workflow, mine vs "system account". Right? In both cases I have the entire workflow in an action set and the option to run as workflow owner selected.If the logs we are seeing Access is denied errors at the time the workflow is trigger.Any input as to what would be causing the error? What would I have access to that a the SharePoint system account does not?

We are upgrading to sharepoint 2019 and nintex 2019.  When we upgraded and use classic mode everything seems to be working but the cancel button is missing.  I was wondering if their is something we can change to get it back.  I know work around would be to put a button the form and hide it and show it on the ribbon but I dont want to do all that work on all of our forms.  THANK YOU.   Any Help will be appreciated.

Hi, I have followed instructions and a unique reference number is created when a new item is created.  However, as the new item moves through my nintex workflow, the number does not remain static.  Is there an easy way to stop this happening (I am very new to Nintex and not a developer by any stretch of the imagination). Thanks

I have a long Nintext form, and I want to be able to toggle a form back and forth between Edit mode and Display mode, and I can't seem to find a way to do that.   I want to use Display mode for my print view because I need my form to resize text boxes so that the whole box is showing. I would also like to have the buttons hidden, as they are in Display mode. It seems to me like there should be some simple way to do this toggle, like when you click "Edit" in he ribbon when the form is in Display mode. However, once I click Edit and go to Edit.aspx I don't find any way to go back to Display other than closing the form and re-opening it.   I've been poking at this problem for two days now and can't seem to find a solution or a post where someone else had had this issue. I'm probably missing something really obvious, and I'm hoping someone will be able to point it out to me.   Thank you!

I know there are quite a bit of similar posts on this topic. But none of the solutiouns seem to work for me. There is one that's very close located here https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Start-a-site-workflow-using-Javascript/m-p/7011#M5934 I've reused the script but not sure of A. how to get the associatedData and B. to properly create the button to put on my page. A little background it's a site workflow that queries a number of other lists to find any workflow errors and puts the numbers in a dashboard. On that page I would like a button so they can refresh the dashboard on the fly. A million thanks in advance for any help.P.S. we do not have Nintex forms here unfortunatly.

We have a user who has a workflow that errors out.  The History Log shows that the Primary Item ID is set to -1 and the duration is 5,788,584,817 YIKES.  Yet when you click on the status for the workflow, it shows all Green as if the workflow completed successfully.I have checked blogs that state that situations like this can happen if either the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service or Microsoft SharePoint Workflow Timer Service are both not installed on servers in the farm; but the services are installed.Any ideas? Thank you for your thoughts and your time.

I am getting the "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I separate conditions with an "and" or an "or" operations. This error occurs for any workflow actions with multiple conditions by "and" or "or" oparators.   This operation works perfectly if I only have one condition but returns an error if I combine multiple conditions.  Please help!

I am building a Nintex approval workflow within SharePoint 2010.   At each stage, approvers are to review a document and either approve or reject.   As a user, once they select either button, they are directed to the home page.  My customers would prefer a custom acknowledgement page to pop up so they know it was successful.   Is this an option?

A SQL lookup based on a previously selected value (also a SQL lookup) within a form is returning the correct value, but somehow concatenating itself with ;# inbetween. For example, where I would expected 10300 the value being returned is 10300;#10300. The source data has been verified and looks clean.   I can clean this up with a function, but that just adds another layer.    Thanks

Hi there Experts!   May i know your tools and best practice on moving/deploying Nintex Worlfows to other environments eg. Staging to Production. Also, how you deploy the change if there is a new enhancement like new fields needs to be added etc.   Thanks!

Hello Friends,   I am new to nintex. I am creating a nintex form with 4 time slots. Each time slot should allow at most 5 users for selection. Now the requirement is, if a 6th user tries to join to a time slot which is already full, a message should appear saying use other available time slot because current time slot has reached max 5 user limit.   I am trying to implement this using nintex controls.   Please guide me on how to implement this.   Thanks Deepanwita

I have a SharePoint 2013 on prem list that has a number field. Most of the time when a form is filled out this field is left blank (as it needs to show). We report off of this field and need for it to show blank and not "0". Is there a way for me to do this with either forms or workflows?Thanks

Hello,I am working on changing the formatting text of the Attachment control via JavaScript and CSS. By adding the following text to the Custom JavaScript field in the Nintex Form, this works with New Items. (The control is called "Attachments.")NWF$(document).ready(function() {NWF$('Attachments td.ms-descriptiontext').css('color', 'red').css('font-size', '18px');});This also works:NWF$('Attachments .ms-addnew').click(function() {  NWF$('Attachments td.ms-descriptiontext').css('color', 'red').css('font-size', '18px');});Both result in the following:This is perfect, however, this only works when I click New Item. If I edit an item, the formatting does not go through. Would anyone be able to offer advice as to why this works with New Item, but not Edit Item?Thank you,Jocelyn

Hey everyone, This post is loosely related to this one: Old post   My web call was working great throughout our cleanup project, however, we've just started cleaning the engineering collection and there are multiple items with file name that contain commas and apostrophes. These seem to be messing with the recycle web request.   here's and example of the call with the culprit underlined: http://it/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('cust/TechnicalAdvisor/Tom'sFiles/FacilitiesChargeandDamageClaimsProcessInteraction.docx') I've tried a build string action that puts the URL in quotes so the call doesn't mistake the apostrophe as part of the command but it still isn't working. Call works for all files except those with commas and apostrophes in the file or doc name. ugh.   Thanks in advance for the help! Kassie     

I have a query list control at the beginning of a list workflow that queries another comprehensive list of inspectors with multiple columns (Email_Address, Support_Staff, etc.).  I'm filtering by Insp_Full_Name, a calculated column concatenating values in the columns First_Name & Last_Name and passing the value in the Email_Address column into a workflow variable named WV_INSP_EMAIL.   We have been able to make this work in a workflow on a different site just fine but for some reason I haven't had any success doing the same with this workflow.  I feel I'm missing something ridiculously simple, but I haven't had that "Eureka!!" moment yet.  The configuration is pictured below:   ...and here's the CAML editor view.  I did a side-by-side comparison with the CAML editor for the query list control in the workflow we've had success with and the code structure is identical!     Any help would be greatly appreciated since, as of right now, I am stumped!  Thanks for all you support!

Restore Nintex Workflow site collections. This document provides instructions for restoring from backup, attaching in SharePoint, deleting the old site collection, re-adding the restored site collection, and restoring and moving the related workflow history.

I have created a new classic Nintex Form for a list with existing data in it. I needed to use the List Lookup Control to give users the ability to select info from lookup lists with dropdown menus. When I applied the form to the list, the form does not display the existing values in the fields to which the List Lookup controls are connected (single line of text fields). Is there any way to force these controls to display the existing content from their target fields? Or am I going to have to manually go through hundreds of records, applying the required values to the list lookup controls in the form? Seems a bit of an oversight.

What I have is a Nintex form. When it is saved two workflows are started. They work fine. The network is very slow so I have a lag period from when the form is closed (White empty spot is seen for 5 - 10 seconds) and when the list is seen. I would like to be able to 1. Change the cursor to indicate something is working.  or 2. Show a dialog box that lets the user know that something is working.  Just something to ease the user.
