Hi,    We're trying to automate a solution that uses a Word Template and uses DocGen to take the data from a Nintex form to fill the Word Template and  generate a PDF from that word template Question - can a fillable PDF be genrated for step # 3, so that when that PDF is sent via email, it can be electronically filled in?   Thanks! 

Hi, I've been working on this form where I want the user to select either a Test or Live enviornment. I added conditions that in order to get to the live enviornment the user must click the checkbox for the Live and also enter a policy number. At the moment when I test this workflow I'm only going to the test enviornment not the Live enviornment, no matter if i select the live checkbox and add the policy number. Can anyone point out what I need to change in order to get this resolved.   

Is there a way to export a form? I have a list in O365 that is having problems with a workflow. I can create a new list and import the workflow and it seems to work fine, but I don't know how to move the form over. I spent a lot of time creating it and would hate to have to redo it. Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything.

Hi there,   I want to update a list with the web service "updatelistitems". I am struggling with the SOAP.   I want to achieve this: (this is from another workflow where I did the same, but was able to use the "update item" action as I am on the same site collection)   So I want to update the column "Verwendung" with the string "Belegt" where Title = {WorkflowVariable:slotVorgangsnummer} within the list "Vorgangsnummern".   So within the SOAP editior it must be somehow something like this:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><soap:Header/><soap:Body><m:UpdateListItems><m:listName>Vorgangsnummern</m:listName><Batch OnError="Continue"><Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">WHERE <Field Name="Title">{WorkflowVariable:slotVorgangsnummer}</Field> <Fiel

Hello,   it seems, that regular user can see two options (see red box in the attached picture). Is it possible to hide the two entries?   Thanks.  

Hello all.  I am attempting to setup a button that would allow the user to skip to a different part of a form.  This is a fairly lengthy form and there is a three page section that is actually filled out by a different user (other than the original creator).  As a way to make it a little easier, I thought that you should be able to press a button that has you skip to a different part of the form.  I'm guessing this would require JS, so I was wondering if anyone else has tried this.  

This sounds too simple to not be able to but, is there a way to build out a site workflow that queries multiple lists? Looking to build out via actions not CAML. I have back to back queries/for each programming but it always stops at the 2nd for each. Thanks

I have a workflow with a loop that is working, but the loop takes far too long. I want to instead use a For-Each, but that uses a collection variable. I have a number variable already that I am using to count the number of loops. I don't see a way to convert the number variable to a collection variable, or a way to use the For-Each with a number variable. Help! And thanks in advance!

Hello, isdlg=1 is one of the good sharepoint features where you can hide left navigation and headers if you use it in your url. It works fine with the default SharePoint forms. However, when i use isdlg=1 in nintex classic form, it doesn't navigate to either source url or redirect url, instead it stays in the form. What is the reason behind? 

My nintex workflow calls sharepoint web service to populate a people picker field. I always got error: '0x81020014 One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.' I tried 'FName LName', 'domainfname_lname' and 'userid;#fname lname', none of them worked. I got the same error. What name format should I use to populate this field?  Here is my SOAP code to update the people picker column.  Thanks   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">  <soap:Header>  </soap:Header>  <soap:Body>        <UpdateListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">           <listName>Project</listName>             <updates>                  <Batch OnError="Continue">                  <Method ID="1" Cm

We had RedHat demo a BPM software for us which was overall pretty cumbersome and unintuitive. One of the things about it we did love though, was the ability to see all tasks assigned to you across the entire environment.    Now unless you run entirely inside of a single site collection, this doesn't look possible OOTB in SharePoint. I'd like your input on the below method, or if you've created your own solution to this I would love to hear about it.   Description One way we thought about completing this is in each workflow, have it create an item in a central list with identifying information like assignee, originitating workflow name, url to task.   Benefits You could see all tasks at one time. You could receive all tasks in one notification email.   Problems The problem with this method is clearing the central list as it's worked. I haven't found a good way to do that without creating extra work on the end-user. One way would be for them to delete the central item after they've compl

    My need is for Nintex form to dynamically populate the correct Coder and Approver based on matching to 3 columns in SharePoint list.   Nintex Form with: 2 cascading (List Lookup) drop downs ("Location" & "Department") Single Line of Text field ("Invoice Amount") 2 People Pickers ("Coder" & "Approver") Need to dynamically populate the Coder & Approver fields when drop downs are selected (changed) by comparing the values selected for "Location", "Department", and the amount entered in "Invoice Amount". SharePoint list "Approver Detail" with columns: Location, Department, Amount, Email (only including authenticated users) Would greatly appreciate any help and sincerely hope to stay OOB but willing to use JavaScript if necessary.  Thank you!

Since this morning all our workflows in a few specific site collections got stuck on "Starting".We have about 20 "SharePoint Content databases" and they are mapped to 4 different "Workflow Content databases". All workflows which are within sites hosted within 1 specific "Workflow Content database" are no longer starting since this morning. We're tried:Restarting the Workflow timer servicesRestarting the SharePoint timer servicesRestarting IISPurging excessive amounts of history data from both the NintexWorkflowHistory list and the databaseFor about an hour this afternoon the workflow started running, but now they are back in the "Starting" state while noting happend to the environment. Any ideas are very welcome.Thank you.Andre van Haaften

Is there a way to Maximize all actions when editing Nintex Workflow for SharePoint?   I'm editing a large and complex workflow to check for something and I'm having to check to ensure every action set/decision/? is maximized so I can see all the detail. Would be great if there was a way to maximize them all at once. Would also be very useful if there was an indication of some sort if an action was minimized so that I wouldn't have to check everything.   Thanks!

Wondering what I'm doing wrong in this simple Call Web Service soap call. I'm trying to insert a variable that is an xml child node. However, the web service is returning an error thinking the variable is text. Any ideas? I can't use the Update XML here because there is a CDATA required.   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://tempuri.org//ServiceExecuteProcess"><soap:Header></soap:Header><soap:Body> <Add><EntityPerson>{Variable}</EntityPerson> etc

Hello! I have a strange issue. I had noticed some slow downs in the speed of worklfows on my farm. I thought it was just the audit table getting too big but after maintenance, I have narrowed the slowdown to the Send Email Action. What is happening is as follows. The Worklfow runs quickly until after a send Email action, where there seems to be a pause of 15 to 30 seconds before the workflow continues or ends if that is the last action. I.E. If I have a workflow which sends two emails, the first is recieved promptly there is then a delay until the 2nd one hits and then the workflow continues for another 15 - 30 seconds even though it has nothing to do. You can see from by pic below that each send email action is taking longer than normal. Any idea's? Thanks T.

Hi All,   Does anyone know how to show a panel in both Edit Mode and Display mode (not New Mode)

Related to the Nintex Forms for SharePoint 1.6 (only tested on SP2010). Custom JavaScript attachment validation changes with the new version. This is still required if you only want to validate attachment based on a selection on the form (maybe, unless someone know how to enter a formula below) // Run Validation on Attachments function ValidateAttachment(source, arguments) {      var Control = NWF$("#" + CtrlControl).val();      var elm = NWF$("table[id*=idAttachmentsTable]");       // PRE ATTACHMENT CONTROL CHANGE           var elmAttachmentRow = NWF$("table[id*=idAttachmentsRow]");      // POST ATTACHMENT CONTROL CHANGE           var elmAttachmentRow = NWF$("div[id*=idAttachmentsRow]");      if ((elm != null && elm.prop('rows').length > 0) && (elmAttachmentRow != null)) {           arguments.IsValid = true;      }      else {           if (Control == "Yes") {           arguments.IsValid = false;           alert("Attachment Required")           }      } } The above

We are looking for powershell script, To display all the nintex workflow schedules in site and list. The report / data should contain Last Run , Next Run, Repeat sequence, workflow name, workflow URL, Workflow status (Active or inactive) , last modified.    Can anyone please help us out.    Thank you in advance.    

I have a Library which has a Nintex form collect and Validate the properties required.   Once a document is uploaded and properties entered, a workflow runs to change the permissions on  the item.  The workflow sets permissions so that the owners group has full control and uses information collected in the form to determine what other groups have access - i.e. in the form the location of the item is entered and if location A is selected then a permission group for location A is added.  This all appears to be working.   I have a user who is in the Owners group, which has full Control on the Site/List AND after the workflow has run still has full control on the line item.  (When she clicks on the ellipsis it shows that the document is shared with her.)  When she clicks on Edit it says access denied.   The Owners group is a standard "out of the box" owners group - No changes have been made to the permission levels.  Is it that she no longer has access to the edit form ?  I don't know how

We are using external lists from a SQL Server database to collect service related data. These data shall be used by SQL Server Reporting service to generate diagrams that display changes over time. To achive this, it is necessary to create a new list entry each time a list item is edited. For example: List item (ID=10) is called for editing the list item fields are displayed Some values are changed the changed list item is now appended as new item to the list (using a new timestamp) How can I achieve this using Nintex Forms?  

Hello,   when I add an attachment control to a form, it looks like this:     It is not looking better, if the form is working in "real life":     Is there a function behind? How can I get rid of the icons in the red frame?    Thanks,

I have about hidden 10 Radio Button Selections that appear based off one drop down box. On these Radio Button Selections I want a visual to show that these are 'required' fields if they are displayed and then when a selection is chosen to turn back to the black font. I've gotten to work on my top line of the 10 options but then when I setup the exact same Condition Format / Condition the rest do not work. Has anybody else run into this?  Thoughts? If anything I'll just remove the conditional styles and just wait for them to click Save to get the pop up message.  I'd rather give than an instant visual though. Thanks!
