Hi, I am facing a trouble when submitting a registration from public.  The issue is like this: I updated Nintex Form (2.3.31 to 2.11.5.0) and Work Flow (from 3.0.8  to 3.4.0) in production. We HAVE few registration forms that are filled up by external clients residing on the same SharePoint site collection.  Two of the registrations are being submitted without issue.  But when submitting other two forms, the 404 error is thrown.    From investigation, we found there is a protocol difference between two forms: The working forms protocol: Method: POST Protocol : TLSV1.2 Version: HTTP/1.1 Host: www.xxx.org Url: /aaaaa/bbbb/Pages/xxxxclass_147_register.aspx   The non-working forms protocol:  (this is working in internal site.  But not in external site) Method: POST Protocol : HTTPS Version: HTTP/1.1 Host: www.xxx.org Url: /aaaaa/bbbb /Pages//aaaaa/bbbb/Pages/xxxxclass_167_register.aspx   Please let me know whether you can suggest something out it, Thanks Tony

Here's the example. A school district has a single system to assign aids to grades at different buildings. You have school A, B, C, D, and E all with classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You have a form to assign the aid to the class on a certain day. The issue is that the aid does not know which school to go to because all the form says is "1". Is there a way to get the result to look like "A - 1" from the Managed Metadata field? I also tried cascading dropdowns, but the same names still cause issues in selecting since you can select multiple schools and classes for a single day and I really do not want to have all those extra fields if I do not need to.

Hello, Description of workflow how it works now:   And here is my form: And I need after approving the request to be send an email, where would be written: that the request was approved and where would be field to enter the Number. And the Number will be automatically filled to form. It is somehow possible?    Thank you for your advice.      

I have a document library which holds to the Agenda, briefing slides and reports for our monthly Programme Boards. I've added the three used templates onto the library as a content type and usually add them to the library as normal from SharePoint by clicking 'Files > New Document'. Two of the files are wor documents and the other is a PowerPoint.   I've made a site workflow that starts automatically which used 'Create Item' to create these documents in the library. The two word documents work fine, but the one that is suppose to be a PowerPoint is doing something very strange; instead of a PowerPoint it appears to be a word document and when trying to open it I get the following error messages:     When I click Edit Properties the Content Type appears to the be the right one. The names says .docx which I can't change.   Can I anyone spread any light on this for me? The content type in the library seems to be fine.   Thanks in advanced.

Hello! User must type a file number in our form. File number always starts lwith the year: 2019-    What is my best option to have Nintex automatically add a hyphen after the 4th first digits? Please note that the Numbers after the hyphen shouldn’t be counted.    Hope you have some great ideas for me! :) thanks  -Neilinna 

How would you get profile picture in email through workflow. We can get dirrerent properties, but how do we get picture?

Hi Folks, I have an issue that should be obvious but I do not see this issue handled in another post. I am useing Nintex Fomrs 2016 (on-prem) and the form is classic. My form should auto-populate based on {Common:CurrentUser}. Fields to populate (based on a list in another site within the site collection) are... Last Name First Name Employee ID User ID Email Phone Area/Section   If the form needs to be submitted on behalf of another user, then the current user will select that other employee from a list lookup control that already seems to be working correctly. Once the form is submitted, we want to lock down the fields so that they cannot change, and of course, they should NOT auto-populate again when the form is opened by another user. We are getting the curernt user to show up in a calculated control with the following formula: userProfileLookup(Current User, "PreferredName") Hopfully someone out there has done this or can point me in the right direction.   Thanks and regards, Patri

I have a drop down field with values A, B, C, D, and E and various check boxes which are yes/no question grouped based on drop down values like 5 questions for A, 3 questions for B, etc.. The drop down values are in order, meaning D comes after C, C comes after B and so on. How do i automatically check the all check boxes when lets say C is selected, i would like to automatically check the A and B check boxes. If B is selected, i would like to automatically check the A check box only. If E is selected I would like to automatically check all A B C and D check boxes.

I have a parallel approval process, but each approval is assigned to a SharePoint group. Ony one response is required from each SharePoint Group. If/When the first approval is rejected, the workflow needs to complete the other task (as not required) and continue with processing the workflow. I've tried a parallel process with two flexi-tasks (I want reminders and escalations), but this obviously doesn't work because the workflow will wait on both responses before continuing.The other option I've come up with is to grab the task of the other parallel approval and complete it manually with an Update item action. I can't use the Complete workflow task action because flexi-tasks do not allow saving the Action ID to be assigned and as I said, I want the reminders and escalations flexi-tasks provide. Any ideas?

Hello All, I have a list Workflow that has two web requests, at the beginning and the end of the workflow. The web requests triggers a flag in an external database. The idea is that when the workflow starts, the flag is set to 'active', and once the workflow is about to end the flag is then set to 'inactive'. I use this flag so that I can notify users in an external application whether there is a workflow currently running.  The problem is, I've noticed that users sometimes manually cancel workflows when they're no longer relevant to them. This causes the flag to get stuck on 'active' since the end of the workflow is never reached and the last web request never fires. Is there any way to set an action that can still fire after a workflow has been canceled? Or perhaps have another workflow that monitors the first, and then sends a web request when it sees that it's been canceled?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Idea:- Wanted to use Nintex to automate operations Context:1. List of models (model)2. List of inventory record (Device ID, Status, model - radio box based on list 1, owner)3. List of transaction record (Requester, Date, Model - pick up list based list 1, Device ID - filter Status as 'available' only - First available record, automatically assigned & retrieved) Help needed:1. I can import / input record for list 12. How can I make list look up model (list 1) to inventory (list 2) so that they are in relationship?3. How can i make list look up model (list 1) to transaction record (list 3) so that they are in relationship & also query first available device ID with filters from list 2 to list 3? Thanks for help in advance.Open to change if there is any more approperiate ways to implement with same goal. Current problem:1. Manual work on assignment of device2. not accurate transaction record as just the request record and assignment record are separated list, which requires manual

For I've seen in other posts how to pull multiple columns from a SharePoint list by using a calculated column. Eg., =CONCATENATE([Title],",",[First Name], ",", [Last Name])   I would like the presentation to be a table via: =CONCATENATE("<table><tr><td>[Title],"</td><td>",[First Name], "</td><td>", [Last Name],"</td></tr></table>")   Is there a way for the form to render this HTML? XMLEncode doesn't work in the List column name field to pull.   Or is there another method, via javascript, to replace/render the DOM when this is run?  

Hi, is it possible (permitted) in Nintex to add a favicon when the form is loaded in the browser?actually i had a exception when i try to add it by javascriptDOMException: "Permission denied to access property "head" on cross-origin object" So, any ideas or futures evolutions from Nintex?

I wanted to create a site workflow that is executed once per day that checks to see if any items need to be reviewed based on a date, then emails the owner of the item for approval.   Because the list of items could be long, I didn't want to send out an approval email for each item. So I used a site workflow to run once per day.   It was quite tricky get the workflow to send to each owner because it was a 'person' type column, but I managed it.   My problem is that because of the above requirements, I'm left with a workflow with the flexi task inside a 'for each' loop. This means that the sending of the second email is dependant on the first person replying.   Is there any way to send all the email out at the same time?   List to act on: Here is my workflow:   I run a query list and filter on 'Review date' < today and Lifecycle is not Retired or Superseded. I store the ID and Owner in itemIDCollection and itemOwnerCollection.   I count itemIDCollection, store in numCount and run the

I am converting a CSV file into a sharepoint list using "Web Request". Unfortunetly, the file contains some special characters such as é, ã, ó, .... And when I check the list those characters are with a quote mark like this: . That means that when the variable receives the data from the Web Request, it can't recognize it. so I'been trying to encode it, but It's still not working. The url is working though. Any suggestions?  

Hello All, Can somebody help me in how to delegate/redirect a K2 task using C# K2 API.

I am new to responsive forms in Nintex O365. I am using the Runtime Function dateAddDays in a value field. This is coming from my control called DateReceived and adding 7 days.The result appears with both date and time. I would only like to have the date displayed.

I get a "Failed to send notification. Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user "#..." error when I attempt to use a Set Variable action to pull data from a Person or Group column in a companion list for the notification addressees.   The Send Notification action does not fail when I use data for the same addressees from a Person or Group column (in the main list) without using the Set Variable action. This confirms the accounts are valid.   No error occurs when I use a Request Approval action, and the Set Variable action to pull data from a Person or Group column in a companion list for the Approvers.   When I log my variable data to history, there is a 5-digit number sequence followed by ";#" preceding each name with presence (Example: 11426;#Smith, John). I have tried switching the data type from Person of Group to string in the variable settings. The workflow does not error, but no notification comes through. I have also tried changing the display settings in the Person or

Is there any way to allow Nintex workflow to stop sending emails to users of specific webapplications temporarily? After restoring data from production, nintex workflows started triggering mails to endusers. We need to stop the mails for few days, but the workflow should not go in error mode.Is there any way to do the same? It should not interrupt other applications from sending mails. I used smtp4dev tool but that is blocking all the outgoing mails. We want other applications to send mail as usual. Removing send notification from allowed action is putting the entire workflow in error mode. We just want the workflow to run as usual but the mails should be allowed only for specific applications. Please let me know in case there is a way to customize the mails settings for Nintex workflow.

We are using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex workflow. In some workflow I do a webrequest which returns a json string. Inside this json string there are alot of attributes with their values. I would like to modify one of the attribute values. What is the best practice to do that?   This is an example of the json string:   { "attribute_A": "2018-02-15T00:00:00+01:00", "attribute_B": "2018-02-15T00:00:00+01:00", "attribute_C": "abc", "attribute_D": "1234" }   I would like to set the value of attributes "attribute_A" and "attribute_B".

Hi, So the scenario is that I have a document library A that contains folders and files. When a status is updated to "sold" a nintex workflow will run and if this condition is met, create a new folder with the same name and metadata in document library B, copy all the contents of the source folder from doc library A into the newly created folder in doc library B, then delete the original folder and files from doc library A. Both doc libraries exist within the same site collection and site for that matter. There are several variations of this type of workflow already working within my environment. However, I've had to recreate one today and each time I run it the workflow errors at the Copy to SharePoint action with the following: Failed to copy item. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. To explain my workflow some more, I have a conditional action to begin that checks if the folder's status is "sold", from this I set a "FolderName" variable to the name field of the fol

 Hi,   Is that possible to stop user from creating a new Nintex workflow? We are in process of migration and I want to do the inventory and don't want anyone to create a new workflow.

Let the in-process workflow to complete but don't allow to start a new instance.   Any help/suggestion will be really appreciated.   Thanks.   Regards, Sunil  

Hi All   I have created a form with a cascading dropdown control I also have 2 panels I would like to hide these panels until a user selects a value from the first dropdown (Business Unit lookup) I have added a Calculated Value filed to show the exact value when an item is selected:     If nothing is selected from the dropdown, no value is entered into the Calculated lookup I have tried various different rules on the panels I want to hide If I use this formula on a formatting rule, I can hide the correct panel if 'Clients &Industries' is selected: Business Unit lookup ==("3;#Clients & Industries") But what value do I insert into my formula if no item has been selected yet? (and the default value is "Please select a value...")
