In my workplace we have an award nomination scheme where 6 senior managers need to all agree for an individual to be given an award.I have created a workflow on a list that uses the 'Assign Flexi Task' to request they either 'approve' or 'reject' the nomination (which are the two possible outcomes on the action. Under behaviour, I have selected 'All must agree on a specific outcome' and 'approve' for the outcome.After each outcome there is a send notification action, when they all 'approve' it follows this through fine. However if one rejects it doesn't seem to send the notification but the workflow still completes.Additionally, I have set an escalation to 'complete task' after 7 days. Will then follow the approval process?Thanks in advanced.

Hi all, I very new to Nintex, please have patience. I have a request by one of our customers to send an email when a new item gets added to the list. I know this can be accomplished using a workflow. But, this is where i get stuck. I don't know which workflow actions to use nor what fields i'm supposed to add to them. Could you guys please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

I have a SharePoint List form that depending on the selection of a dropdown (which could potentially have values added) which SharePoint Group would get a Flexitask assigned (SP Group 1 Reviewer or SP Group 2 Reviewer).  I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this in a single workflow.  Currently what I've done is created two State Machine (Reviewer and Approver) and then set a condition to determine the dropdown selection, but if that dropdown selection ends up having more than two choices it will be a problem.   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HelloThe first screen shot below shows the problem I am having. The list lookup is allowing me to select the TAX1 value, TAX2 is saying "loading...". Once I select a value in TAX1, the option in TAX2 is only "please select value" with nothing to select.The next screen shots are the control settings and the 2 lists I am using in the list lookup. The bizarre thing is that this worked previously on a different server, and although the below is just a test for the purpose of this post, I also exported the form from the old server and had the same problem. Any help is appreciatedMMTESTTAXLEV1 - LISTMMTESTTAXLEV2 - LIST

Hi,   I'm not sure if it should be on this thread, by I think it's connected with Nintex. How do I adjust the Approve/Reject page? I've been looking out so long and haven't found a solution. I'd like to adjust all three sections - Výsledek (result), Komentář (commentary), Vlastnosti položky (Item properties).   Lead me to the right path, please. Thank you (See the attachment section) Steve

Hi I have a scheduled site workflow that cleans up documents from library that have not been assigned metadata and checked in by users after 1 day.   Query List action does not return documents that are checked out to others.   When I do test with Query List set to "Filter - Select all list items" the query return 4 results, however there is one more document that I can see when I go to " LIBRARY tab -> Library Settings -> Manage files which have no checked in version". Under "Files checked out to others" there is one more document that the query never picks up.   Is it possible to query such document?   Thank you, screenshots below:   Library: Query "Filter - Select all list items" Query returns those 4 items. However there is one more file when checking Checked out files: Document EIE.xlsx is not picked up by the query.      

Hi, While migrating the nintex workflow between environments (i.e UAT to PROD) the context menu used to start the workflow manually gets duplicated in the higher environment. For example: If we manually export the workflow from UAT then manually import and publish in PROD the issue can be replicated N number of times in the context menu and the index of the item is 0.

We have workflow running on a document library in SP 2013.   Most of the time workflow executes fine. However, once in a while we get an error in one particular action which calls the web service. The error is: Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.   The action is configure as shown below:     The only strange part is the error is completely random. It does not happend for any specific user or scenario. 

Hello,when using the "create item"-action I have the option the get the ID of the element that I am creating. This allows me to set a "set item permission" on exactly this element that I created.I need to use the web service "lists.asmx" to create the item, but I don't know if there is a way to get the ID of the created element.Can you help?

 Symptoms Issue: PandD Errors - 'viewName' View is referencing the 'propertyName' property on the 'smartObject' that could not be found.'formName' Form is referencing the 'propertyName' property on the 'smartObject' that could not be found.'workFlowName' Process is referencing the 'Missing Handler ID: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX' Unknown that could not be found. Diagnoses I get reference errors and a Missing Handler ID -error on the workflow when I try to package. Resolution This particular issue required a bit of legwork in understanding how PandD packages are formed. We did most of the research on finding the errors by forcing PandD to create the package that was undeployable. We then changed the file extension from .kspx to .zip, and unzipped the resulting PandD package. From here, we opened in a text editor (Notepad , with XMLTools plugin). We used CTRL SHIFT F to search all files in a directory, and then searched for the offending GUID referenced in the error message.From t

I have a Travel Form, where the user enters the Departure Date in a Date picker field. I want to be able to set andother field (Flight Departure Date) to the previously entered Departure Date. In InfoPath this is easy, but in Nintex it appears I need to write some JavaScript (and I am not a java script coder).Can anyone help....PLEASE!!!

Hi, I'd like to create a site workflow that loops through a list for specific conditions.  When it finds those conditions, I'd like the site workflow to start a list workflow on the item that meets the conditions. Why?  Has to do with Flex Tasks.  From what I can tell, and I could be very wrong, assigning a flex task doesn't work well in a for each loop.  At least, I haven't been able to get it to work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!  

I am using Nintex 2013 workflow with SharePoint 2013 on premise.  Reference the attached workflow: An employee submits a request for payment. A review and response is expected in less than 1 day. “Set a Condition” is used to determine if the reply is overdue to the requestor. If the reply is overdue, a notification is sent to the reviewer and the requestor. Then a 1 day pause is kicked off and the cycle continues every day until the request is approved or rejected. If the reviewer approves or rejects the request for payment before the 1 day pause is complete, notification that a decision was made won’t be known until the 1 day pause is complete. Worst case, there would be almost a one day delay in the requestor knowing the payment request had been approved or rejected. Is there a way to break out of this loop if the request is approved or rejected while the pause is still underway? Thanks for any help you can provide.  

Hi there! via Nintex workflow I send form-content via email. It works in case of textfields good. BUT: How can I send selection of option-fields? User has the opportunity to select betweenOCR, Scan and OCR and scan. I want to add to sent mail the selected item. Is there a workaround? THANKS!

Can anyone suggest me how to create a hyperlink through SharePoint column.This hyperlink will be the document url attached in the task list. I want to display that column as it is on the Nintex responsive form. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,    I'm trying to uncheck all the selections made in the multi-select check box in on-change event of another dropdown using jQuery. When it is a multi-select list box i'm able to achieve the same. can anyone please help me with the solution

Hi all, I have problems in filtering the predecessor lookup field in my task list form.   I have added a column called "ECR-ID" to my task list. This column is of type "Number" without decimals.   All tasks that belong together do have the same value in this column.   At the time when I open the NewForm.aspx I have a value at hand that is being transmitted via GET variable (e.g. &ECR_rel=18).   Now I want to use the 'fn-GetQueryString()' function from Nintex in order to filter the predecessor lookup field.   So in the settings for the predecessor lookup field I have set the following filtering:   Filter available selections: By a specific value Where field: ECR-ID Filtered by value: fn-GetQueryString(ECR_rel)   By doing it this way I expected to get all entries that have the value "18" in the column "ECR-ID" but the lookup field remains empty.   Does anyone have an idea why this isn't working?   Any help is much appreciated!   Best Regards,Dirk

Hi guys, I'm stucked at kind of tricky thing. I have a field in the form (person or group). If someone fill the field with a person from AD, my workflow does convert it to a plain text. Then I get "Steve Jonasson" from it, for example. Then, I have another field (one line of text(empty - filled with workflow afterwards)) and I need to put above mention name to this field, but adjusted like this:5 first letters from Surname.3 first letter from Name.= JonasSteHow can I do it via Nintex workflow? Can you redirect me to some tutorial with pictures (at the best) or video tutorial? Should I use regular expression? Some function? Anything can help me. Thank You Steve

Our on-premise SharePoint environment is using Nintex Live Forms for a couple of the lists. I have been informed that there are duplicate items. I've confirmed with the user that they have accessed the Nintex Live form and clicked submit once.With further investigations I have found that there are more instances of duplicated items, but it appears to happen randomly. Also the time between the originally submitted item and the duplicate is different. E.g. One instance shows the duplicate was created 10 minutes later, another instance shows that it is created 6 minutes later.I assume it is something to do with Nintex Live as I have another list which uses Nintex Forms but is not enabled for live and it does not have this issue. Also checked for workflows creating items, but only see workflows sending out emails.Has anyone else run into this same scenario? I am going to log a ticket about this issue, just thought I would reach out to the community to see if there are any steps I can follo

Hi Community,I have been fighting with this for few days now. I have created a workflow that request values from the user via the "Request Data"-action and after updates these to a list. The workflow works just fine but I am having trouble with the task forms. I am not sure how much of this is due to sharepoint and how much to nintex.So when opening the task from the email generated by nintex (or unter my workflow tasks) it looks like this: I have found some mentions about directing the task directly to the edit mode but have not yet been able to implement it. Nevertheless, the users can manage to click "Edit Item". The problem is on the edit item view that looks like this:This would be ideal,  but the "Complete Task" button is not doing anything. Clicking it will not give any feedback nor complete the task. I have tried to create a Infopath form to replace the oob form from Sharepoint but when publishing it the same edit view comes up after clicking edit. I have found a one time worka

I am trying to discover a method by which to override the default Nintex styling for the form controls and fields in a list that are automatically populated on creating a new form, or resetting an old one.While using a custom template and uploading it into central admin does allow me to change the banner, new forms still populate with blank (non-styled or nintex-styled controls) beneath the custom styling, as seen below. (My current template is really only useful with the 'format painter' tool)Despite extensive web research, I've been unable to find a way where the list fields or controls automatically take the custom  css classes or design by default. (I thought that I could style an example of each field/control type on the template for instance, and then new forms would generate with their various fields based on the template example. It didn't work obviously.)Currently, I need to manually style (or provide a class to) each control to suit the company brand. This is understandably t

I have searched the posts for information and they are all old. I have a requirement to add a watermark to a document (doc or pdf) after it is uploaded. What is being used for this now? It appears that Muhumbi only works for PDF. Does anyone have any info on adding watermarks to word documents via nintex workflow? thanks.
