Hi all, is it possible to import the .nlf license file using Powershell?I'm trying to set up and configure Nintex Workflow 2016 with an unattended/silent Installation. I managed to install all the solutions with the exported Scripts but can't find a way to import the license or set up the configuration database. Does anybody have a solution for this? Thank you.

We have a form with a repeating section where updates to the form are recorded. Someone who has left the company is in the "Updated By" field from back in February 2018, and this is preventing the form from being edited. The former employee's name is blank on the display form: But when attempting to open the edit form, the user receives the message: Person/Group 'i:0#.w|domainusername' was not resolved. Verify control configuration. How can I remove the value from this field so that this item can be edited by the Nintex form?

With the capability of creating html start page on Nintex mobile studio app I am interested to know if we can create a html video background autoplay with url redirect page to task section. It would be awesome if we could we use the video by uploading the video to the video section by adding contents into Nintex mobile studio.

Hi Folks,  We have 40 nintex workflows built on to the onprem site and always instances of the workflows are in starting stage and more in inprogress stage.Though the users respond to the task ,it is not moving to the next stage so that users' Task has not been cleared from My Task.few Actions we tried as below.1.  Purging the workflow history2.  Restarted the Timer services3.  monitored the sharepoint server processing speed.Above actions do not help us to resolve the issues. Please help me get resolving the workflow poor performance.  

Hi @emha Thanks for reaching out. I've created this post to try and make my goal clearer. The context is that I need to create a list which has all users that have a particular job title / where the job title contains a defined string. I don't have an existing list. I can make an empty list, but my starting point is I have no list. I don't know how to run a query which returns all results that meet a certain criteria. Effectively in SQL language, I want to do something like this: Select *Where Job TitleContains 'Commercial Credit Manager' returning all Salary Numbers where the job title matches 'Commercial Credit Manager' from the Microsoft Active Directory (of our company).    

A bit of background... I have a list where one person enters an new item (Request), which I have in a content type called "Request", and another person goes and enters comments and attaches a file under the "Action" content type. Then, by changing the status, the item is sent to another team to review and complete task (content type "Complete Request").  I have a workflow where I am able to request data from the last team to provide comments and a additional file attachment. When the task is completed, I am able to set the field value to show the comments on my current item under the "Action" content type. However, I cannot get the attachment to show. Basically, we need to see the inital file that was sent to them (which I can see as it was added by the first team) and the additional attachment added by the second team.  Unfortunately, I am not using nintex forms as it is not enabled in our Sharepoint soI have to work with the regular Sharepoint Form and I do not have Sharepoint Design

Form will have data part andapproval part with Comments and Approve /Reject.When the rejected forms back,the comment box and buttons should appear(multiple times).

Currently the DocuSign Send Document, Retrieve Envelope Status, and Download Document actions each seperately take 30 mins to complete on SP2016. Manually ran each of these timer jobs but have had no luck. All other actions are running normally, no issues. Anyone run into this before?

We recently upgraded to Nintex Version 3.3.1.0 in a very large (32 servers) farm.We have been seeing workflows that leverage "Regular Expression" actions, occasionally locking up the entire Workflow engine for the whole farm.  Eight web front ends timer job "Workflow" stuck for hours on end until they eventuallly "pause". If we terminate the sole running workflow with Regular Expression step (that is also paused) - everything kicks off again after a cache clear.  If we do nothing and perform a cache clear, the workflow engines eventually pause again. Anyone else seeing this?

So I’m trying to update my Nintex 2016 Solution from 4.2 to 4.3.1.1 and it just sat on creating Core Components upgrade job for 3600 seconds (1 hour) before moving to the next WSP which also failed. Anti-virus disabled, UAC turned off, I used an account that was a Farm Admin and local admin of all servers, database owner and all the other prerequisites... Any thoughts as to why this happened? Could I manually remove and add the new version of the WSPs?Thanks for your help

hi all, I am building a form and none of my controls are overlapping (i have intentionally put space in between the controls) however when i change the size of some controls, the preview of the form shows the order of appearance has changed (Q11 was the 11th question down the page but after making small changes to the height of the box it jumps up to the top position (but not the top of the form), so I have no idea what prompts this.  I also notice it overlaps or disappears but cannot see a pattern about the behaviour.  thanks john

I have Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflow 2016 installed with SharePoint 2016. I downloaded Nintex App to my android and tried to setup the authentication to the system.I get the error message: Could not find Nintex Forms at indicated URL. Please check that Nintex Forms is correctly installed. What would be the issue here? Thanks

I want to hide few ribbon buttons for Particular User Group into Nintex Form Designer (ListFormDesigner.aspx) so that those users cant access those ribbon buttons. eg : Rules, Create columns, Import, Export etc.What is the way to do it from client side?

If users do not have permissions to add on the site or site collection then those specific users will not see the enhanced rich text box, neither they will be able to style text using the rich text box. The resolution is to add those users in the site or site collection with minimum of add permissions. For this creating a unique permissions level is ideal i believe.

Any update on the functionality said to have been in the works back in 2017 in this post?  I have an eight tab form that runs very slow because the entire form is loaded at once.  Loading 100+ controls plus all the associated rules means my users are stuck with a 90 second page load time and save time.  A sub form/multiple page form would alleviate this problem and only load what is needed on each tab as it is selected.   I have been working to find an alternate solution.  My new prototype utilizes content types, with buttons and redirect URLs to those content types.  This has shortened a lot of the page load times and save times, but both the initial save and continue and the final save and close back to the list are still around 30-40 seconds. Any ideas?

Hi community! I've submitted an idea on the user voice site and want to know what you think:https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/229405-1-nintex-workflow-for-sharepoint/suggestions/37692448-state-machine-action-set-lane-background-colorsI can't count how many times I've been scrolling back and forth inside a huge state machine workflow only to open an actions properties under the wrong branch. General idea: Allow for background colors to be applied within state machine branches and action sets. If you think it would be beneficial, please do vote for it! 

I want to delete the workflow history for a particular list. I assume I click "Purge Workflow Data" in site settings? When I do, I receive the following message, "Update the Nintex Workflow database to use this capability". Thanks for the assistance!

I have a library where the user has a Case# they do not want duplicated. There are already 4,000+ entries and they have already been utilizing 'ID' in their library. The issue is when an entry is created a Case# gets reused and we want to eliminate these issues. We would like to create a workflow to allow the user creating an entry the Case# has already been used via an alert or popup or something. However, since I am new to nintex I am trying to figure out where to even begin.I have looked at using 'Set A Condition' or 'Run If'..... my thinking is...'If (Case#) is already in use send message to user advising the Case# is not available.'I believe I may have to have the field queried against what the user enters to ensure the #'s are not identical. I may even have to add some JavaScript or Jquery for the message. Please if you know how to do this or if you can point me in the right direction, that would be VERY helpful. TIA

Dear All,We have activated the option of Site Collection Administrator to delegate the task for other users for long-term holiday. The issue is, after creating the delegation, there is no option/chance to remove the delegation by the Site Admin. The delegation remove/delete option is only under assigned user. Is there a way we can retract the delegation? Any work around?Regards.

Hi, I have looked at several posts but can’t seem to figure this out.  I have a “service request” form.  Once submitted, it goes to my team for review.  I just wanted to add a button that will populate the people picker control (ie: Assigned To)  with the Current user.  It basically saves you from manually selecting your name if you decide to “take ownership “ of the request.  But I cannot figure out the code needed to populate the people picker control.  Thanks!

Hoping somone can help, I feel like this should be so simple......I have a column I want to average, there are 3 scores possible in the column:100 0N/A The N/A is null so if this is selected it should be removed from the average, the " 0 " should be calculated in the average when selected. Currently I have the N/A being counted as null, however, "0" is not being considered.   I want to be able to include the " 0 " in the average and keep the N/A as null when selected. The current formula I am using (which appeared to be working Friday and no longer worked as of yesterday) avg(If(01,02,03,04,05,06,07,8, '<>N/A' )) Deadline has been missed due to this, so any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!Thanks so much! Michelle
