Hi everyone, List lookup control displays the results as either a drop down list, or option buttons. But I'd like to display the results of a list lookup (filtered on the value of another control) into a repeating section (based on the number of results) and each section contains a hyperlink to another Sharepoint document library to download the documents as well as other related data (such as last update, owner,...).Is there any tool or method I can use to achive this?I checked this post, good solution, but it's not something that I want:https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Displaying-list-lookups-as-a-repeating-section-or-other/m-p/52037?advanced=false&collapse_discussion=true&q=displaying%20the%20lookup%20in%20repetaed&search_type=threadThank you!

First I’d like to say I’ve only been working with NinTex workflows for about two weeks now between my other tasks, I’ve no Java/JavaScript programming knowledge, and I have yet to get a handle on how all of the Nintex/SharePoint pieces work together. I’ve created and published one Nintex form, list, and workflow and it seems to be working and sending notifications properly. The only problem I’m having with it is…I have a JavaScript snippet (that I got from this forum) located in my Nintex Forms ‘Settings/Custom JavaScript’ that runs on form load and removes duplicates from lookup fields where I have ‘duplicates’ referenced in the form control’s ‘Control Settings – List Lookup/Formatting/Control CSS class’. The JavaScript function works great.Here’s the script:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function(){     NWF$('.duplicates').each(function(){Update(this.id);});});function Update(control){     var usednames={};     NWF$("select[id="+control+"]>option").each(function(){      

Hello everyone,I'm having an odd issue where on one of my workflows, I have a pair of notification emails and both of them are having weird text wrapping issues. For example: In Nintex Workflow - Email Notification (Yes/No being populated from the form): 1. Understands the purpose of blah blah blah program: Yes2. Understands the limitations of X and its use only if a Y cannot be accomplished: Yes   In the actual email:1. Understands the purpose of blah blah blah program: Yes2. Understands the limitations of X and its use only if a Y cannot be accomplished: Yes----I've tried recomposing the entire notification texts, but it still occurs. My initial thoughts are maybe there's a setting somewhere setting the width length, but I'm not able to find one if there is.Thank you for any and all help.

I have a form, but when submitted the user gets an e-mail back, but the unique reference does not show on the subject line of the e-mail. I originally thought it was a currupt workflow so re-wrote the form and the workflow  - still the same issue, I wrote a test lazy approval form, and this worked fine. I have no issues with any other workflows, lazy approval is working fine. I'm stumped!

Hi Guys, I am new to this site and fairly new to Nintex forms and although I have looked around the site I can't quite find the answer I am looking for. Basically, I have a field on a form which needs to capture today's date. Straight forward enough, but on the form, I want it to be a calculated value so that the end users don't have to enter anything in and it captures automatically. As you can see from the screenshot, I have been able to work it out for the other fields I needed (company etc.) but I cannot fathom what the form variable should be for the date. Can someone please help?

I am using on premise SharePoint 2013 Nintex 2013.   I have a process that needs multiple panels.  Each panel is for use by a different functional group.  Each group needs to enter their information and when the save the form, workflow sends an email to the next group.  The next group click on a link and they are brought to the form, where they enter their information and save it to email the next group, etc.   This is a basic example of what I am trying do.  I have a form with 2 panels, Panel A and Panel B.  Each panel has a two columns.  One is required and one is not required.   Each panel has its own Save and Cancel button. When I Save Panel A, Panel B, Column 3, which is a required field, prevents me from saving the form.   I tried using validation rules on the required columns, but that worked the same way.   Is there a way to have independent Save buttons for each panel?  Ones that are not looking at required fields in an adjacent panel.

I imported a workflow and published it to a new list. Creating an item causes the workflow to start automatically, as it should. When selecting Workflow Settings from the ribbon, and then Manage Workflows with Nintex Workflow I have no workflows listed. If I try to import and save the workflow to a new one, it tells me that workflow already exists. 

I am trying to change the color of a label based on the number of days till a field date and am having issues and was wondering if anyone has done anything similar?  e.g.: meetingDate = 9/13/2019 today field (by workflow) = today calculated field (daysTill) = meetingDate - today   rule Green  daysTill >= 30 (format cell green) ! works perfectly rule Yellow daysTill >= 6 && <= 29 (format cell yellow) ! kills the form rule Red daysTill >=0 && <=5 (format cell red) ! agan kills the form    I tried just having  the less than statements for both red and yellow but red will not appear. Does anyone have any advice?

Hello All, I am attempting to hide a panel based on the running workflow version but cant seem to find a way to capture this data. I had to change part of the form for a new update to my workflow and need it to show one of two options based on the running workflow version, currently im using the item id(anything below a certain ID shows one option, anything above shows the other), but if they have to restart an older item it will show the incorrect item and error the workflow out, so i need to use either the workflow version or the date the workflow was started and i cant seem to find a way to capture either.

I have three yes/no boxes on my form (Nintex and Sharepoint 2013)  that once unchecked it clears the fields in that section so that it does not populate the list columns with that data.  I have used the following jQuery for the first yes/no in the Custom Javascript area of form: NWF$(document).ready(function () {   var optELA= NWF$("#" + chkELA);   optELA.change(function(){    if (NWF$('#'+chkELA).attr('checked')==false){      NWF$('#'+datLeaveStart).val('');      NWF$('#'+datLeaveEnd).val('');      NWF$('#'+radAbsenceType).val('');      NWF$('#'+txtAbsenceComments).val('');   } }); }); It is not working.  The sections look as follows if it helps put into perspective:

Hi all,ran into a problem I haven't encountered before and hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get it solved.We recently deployed a workflow to one of our client's production environments and discovered after running some tests that the approval outcomes (on the standard Approve/Reject.aspx page) were in a different order than they were in the DEV environment we migrated from. I've tried every trick i can think of to change the order to no avail.In DEV the order is:ApproveRejectMore info neededIn PROD the order is:RejectApproveMore info neededThanks for your help!

i've created a custom page that can take in input to filter a list and only display items that fulfill that filters because i'm going to need to export that data into a csv file, i need to obtain the inputs that __the user__ keyed in to pass to the workflow that will start the process of triggering the data export   how can the workflow obtain data that was entered into the page? the data was entered into sharepoint's web-part. i am using a choice filter web-part and 2 date filter web-parts (from date and to date) to filter the data

So i am on a trial on nintex app studio to see what it's all about and if we can use it for something in the future.I have added my connection account as o365, built and deployed my app, looks good.  i can see the forms for adding new items which is a good start.  I know i have a workflow with a mobile layout flexi task form but couldn't see tasks in my app.  went back into nintex mobile app studio to edit my app and add tasks by doing the following (unsure if this is right):But i get the error"Tasks in the app are not supported for selected account type."What the...?!  Why not?!  What account types is it supported in?  I am basically trying to demo completing a task on mobile - this isn't ready on o365 nintex mobile app so i thought this would be an alternative.Am I missing something (please say I am) or is it really not available to me?

even after configuring in central administration -> Nintex Administration -> Task settings -> tick allow long term task delegation, setting a delegate in Nintex task delegation, and tick allow delegation in a request approval step. both users already have contribute rights the task that is created in workflow tasks still does not allow delegation. In the allow delegation field of the created task, false is shown. am i missing something to allow tasks to be delegated?also the task is assigned to a domain user group, and 1 of the users in the group set the task to be delegated to someone elserunning sharepoint 2016

Here is the source code for email template. When the email shown on the mailbox, I can see a huge spacing before tag <table>. I also checked the html source of the email and found lots of <br> before <Table>Who can tell me how should we remove the space.? <table style="width: 800px; padding: 5px;"><tbody><tr><th style="text-align: left;"><b>Actions:</b></th></tr><tr><th style="text-align: left;"><span id="NWRTEReference8"><a class="ms-rtestate-write" onclick="selectThis(this);" contenteditable="false" href="javascript:void(0);" link="false" reftext="%7BItemProperty%3AActions%7D" style="text-decoration: underline; color: red;">Actions</a>​​​​​​​​​​</span></th></tr></tbody></table> 

Hi all,  I have a list (A) with a workflow (A) that starts automatically on new items and creates flexi tasks.I have another workflow (B) starting on new items being created in the workflow task list (B). This will get the task item ID and also generates a hyperlink to said task, to be written back to corresponding list columns on list A. This provides me with 2 solutions:1. users can access tasks from list A. 2. users can change approver roles from list A, by changing a corresponding field and staring another workflow (C) that will use a web service to delegate the task to the new approver based on the task ID. However, we have now received errors from workflow C. It turns out Workflow B has only started sometimes! It should start automatically on each new task item being created in the task list but somehow this doens't always happen. And without a task ID I can't delegate the tasks... I cannot find any logic behind it. Everybody has edit rights and the permission to view all items o

Hi - Nintex newbie here and trying to get my first WF into ProductionThe logic is:- Parse list- update column: loan start date when column: loan expiry date equals today AND column: waiting list equals emptySo what I've done is:Query the list for all items where loan expiry date is less than or equal to Today AND waiting list equals null --> output to collection variable- and that's about as far as I've gotI'm experimenting with nesting an Update Item in a Foreach that parses the collection variable and outputs to an date variable - but unsure then how to configure the update item - or even if this is the best way to do thisNOTE - Expiry date column is a calc column based on start loan date + 30 If anyone can help that would be greatThanksJonj 

I want my Nintex form to save its content, including attachements, automatically in case the (assigned) user has clicked on one of the embedded WF Approval links fetched from the workflow tasks which are listed in a ListView control onto the form with custom CAML query.   I can add a [ListView control].click(function(){..... script at the custom javascript section but this only works when clicking on the control itself instead of the actual listed records. The link representing the approval task is not triggering the click event. Currently all attachements are lost when finishing the WF task (as popup screen) because the form will be refreshed after saving or cancelling. All textbox fields are keeping their updated values but the form is not able to be saved anymore as te workflow has applied changes already what result in a page error.   Can someone help me finding a solution where all changes are getting saved before the user took action to his/her WF task? I want to prevent the user

I have a textbox with Client ID JavaScript variable name set to 'UserMnemonicId'On form load i call javasrcipt function and display alert .NWF$(document).ready(function(){alert('test function');alert(NWF$('#UserMnemonicId').val());});I get both the alerts but for the second alert it displays 'undefined'Don't know why the textbox value is displayed as 'undefned'Is there anything that i am doing wrong or missing?

I have a document library where i am uploading an xml file with ID's. I am triggering a workflow that will query xml and that will create an item with ID connected to a field in another list. Here is the issue, where i have few sql control's based on that ID will get the values from sql database. But it's not pre-quering the values when the item is created, but it's working when the form is opened in edit mode after the item is created. Please let me know what may be the issue.

We are seeing an issue that when we try to click on the site picker in the first parameter to change the site that we want to create an item in, a small window opens but is blank.  Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere that would allow the site structure to resolve in this lookup?  If we choose the 'url' radio button, we are able to connect to a site, but its just we can't choose a site from the hierarchy.  Thanks!

I've just created a new form with a control from a SharePoint 2013 people picker column that is filtered to a small group.  When I run the form there is no button beside the people picker control that gives me a list of who is in the group and who to choose from.  My users have to blindly guess by typing in the last name in the Nintex form control.  How do I get the button to show?

Hi All,   I am new to Nintex Forms and even though I have managed to create rules for certain controls. The latest one has me pulling my hair out.   I have a field called Asset Number (sits in a Panel and is a text field). In New Mode I want the panel to only appear if option "Existing" is selected from above question (New or Existing Equipment and it is a choice field).   However if they select "New" From (New or Existing Equipment question). I dont want the Asset Number Field to appear in New Mode but by default appear in Edit Mode.   I know that (NewOrExistingEquipment!="Existing") with hidden checked . Works in New Mode but it contradicts it not showing by default in Edit Mode.
