Hello, I have a rather complex workflow that is used to receive incoming work requests, assign a processor and then process the request through several states.  I am attempting to have the workflow start when the item is modifed, but once it is started I dont want it to start again when modified. Practically speaking the list items are created by the business via an infopath form that leaves the "Assigned to" column blank (because it is not on the form).  A team lead then edits the item and adds and assignee to the "Assigned to" column.  I would like the workflow to start here but not start again when any other modifications are made. My plan was to set a conditional start when the "Assigned To" column "is not blank" and the "Current State" column is "Assignment" ("Assignment" is the default value for column "Current State").  The workflow then starts and its first task is to change the "Current State" from "Assignment" to "Process" (to prevent the workflow from starting again). I used

Hi, The biggest problem with radio buttons/choice controls on Nintex Mobile is that it defaults to the native behaviour of displaying all values in a list, such that selecting the control it "pushes" the list to a new window on the stack and the only screen you see IS the list. Users then select a value(s) and  the user then "pops" the window off the stack returning the user to the page with the option choices value(s) shown. There is an alternative behaviour that can be implemented, and I have done this as an iOS developer, and the behaviour I speak of is displaying the options as a pop up rather than a stack. The benefits are that the underlying page is still visible, and the list displayed can be minimized to the list content. This would work on both iPads AND mobiles. It's a lot more user friendly, especially when you have many choice questions, as users aren't constantly switching screens. Could I request this change? RegardsChad

Hello, I've created a form and published it to Nintex Live. When on fill out the form on line I get a message that the form has been submitted successfully. However, my SharePoint list associated to the form does not populate. If I create a new list item from the sharepoint list it works fine. I feel like I'm missing something. Is a workflow required to move the information from the Live form back to the list? Any help would be appreciated. Tahnks Andrew

I know that the 12/8/16 update had a bug fix for "Fixed an issue where Print to PDF may not print with a background image (00120716)". However, I've installed Nintex Forms for Sharepoint 2019 and I'm having this exact issue. When my site does not have a background image, Print to PDF works fine. When I put an image, any image, back on the site, Print to PDF breaks with the "converting to pdf" message and spinning dots. Here's the message in the log:"Application error when access /_layouts/15/nintexforms/PrintPdf.aspx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Nintex.Forms.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.PrintPdf.GrabCss(PrintPdfData printPdfData) at Nintex.Forms.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.PrintPdf.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.LayoutsPageBase.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive(

Hi,So I have a repeating section with three controls and for every row I create a task (in another list) and the control are the metadata of the new item. This part I was able to do easily but now I need to update the new item ID for each row.How can I do this?I've connected the repeating section to a multi line text and in my workflow I run over the XML and for every row I get the control and save it in a variable. I can't find a way to target the specific line that I'm running on and update the idTask control.thanks for the help!

Ultimately what I'm trying to do is populate a Phone Number field from the SharePoint user profile service on New forms. I'm trying to use a Control Rule with the Set Value method and I can't get it to populate using any values, even after simplifying the rule.  I think I'm missing something fundamentally, because to me it looks like it should work. Screenshot of the rule attached. Any ideas on how to get the Set Value to work? Thanks More info: Phone Number is bound to a single line of text field in SharePointResponsive formSharePoint 2013 on-premVersion: 2.11.2.20

I'm following the guide here on how to parse JSON response from a REST call to sharepoint: Parsing JSON returned from a REST service in Nintex workflow. It works as expected when the values being extracted do not contain double quotes. The problem happens when there's a double quote in the string I am extracting.  Regex used: (?<="title":")([^"]*)(?=")  Scenario 1: No double quotesData to process: {"d":{"results":["title":"This is a title"]}}Result: This is a title --> Passed Scenario 2: With double quotes Data to process: {"d":{"results":["title":"This is a ""pseudo"" title"]}} Result using the regex above: This is a --> Failed I tried a lot of regex combination to handle such cases but when I try it using "Run Now", I get this result: [Command executed successfully.]  How do I handle such cases? I need to extract the whole string first before handling character escaping. I tried looking for other helpful tips but I can't make them work as well: Parse JSON Custom Action. Env

Dear all, I am trying to configure a workflow in which multiple approvers are assigned. I developed a form in which multiple questions are mandatory. I included one drop-down question, indicating which area of a sharepoint the initiator would like to access. The initiator has 4 choices.Now I would like to connect an approver to each of these options.So for example choice A --> Approver A, Choice B --> Approver B, Choice C --> Approver C, and Choice D --> Approver D. Now I do not now if I have to build in a run-if statement or a condition statement, that runs if a certain value is inserted.My current setup does not work, please have a look:Thanks in advance!

I've seen in another support post that the Office 365 version of forms has the option enabled within the settings of the form designer, but this option is not available for the SharePoint version yet. Does anyone know how I can hide this button in the ribbon? 

Hello, I'm working on a Nintex form with a couple of fields. Some of theme are calculated and were added later. Even if 'snap to grid' is checked, the field are not displayed in one row. Is there a way to align the fields? Like the 'align' function in Microsoft PowerPoint? Thanks

Hello community,even I am working with NWF for quite a while this is my first public request. Hopefully someone could help. I have a SharePoint (on premise) which got a list of projects. Each project has an ID which is based on the year it started (P-StartDate) and a consecutive number: e.g. 18-001, 18-002, 18-003, ... 19-043. Actually it is entered manually but I like a workflow to do this. As far as I know (but I am a "forced-to-develop-myself-but-not-a-fully-skilled-developer"), I could use a collection to count items. The idea I have is to get the workflow to count all existing items with the same year (identified by the first two digits of the existing ProjectNumbers), save that count to a variable, simply add "1" to it and set the field value "ProjectNumber" to the new build string. Any of you who can explain to me how to configure that? Would really appreciate that. Thank you! Greetz,TAA

I am trying to include an image in a workflow email, when it is sent out.  It is an image which is stored in an image library, but it is referenced in a list as "Hyperlink or Picture" field type.  These are book cover images. How can I add a variable or reference to my workflow email that shows the thumbnail of the image from the list item?  I am stumped!

Hello All, I have a simple question here.!1. What are the mimumum permissions required to view the Manage workflow inventory?2. The user who is trying to access the inventory has design access to the site but she gets - "Sorry this site hasn't been shared with you".3. But when i give her the "Full-control" then she was able to access the manage workflow inventory. Is "Full-control" access required to view the inventory? Thanks.! 

Hello  This is my first post, I've seen there is quite a lot of info in general but I'd like to have a fresh opinion. We're on Sharepoint 2013, Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.0.8.0) Very regularly, a scheduled workflow fails to start. We have multiple workflows that can be scheduled in different sites, and it's always the same one that fails, others seems to be fine.  When I go to this particular site, and try to display the Scheduled Workflows page (site settings -> Scheduled workflows) the page never shows and I eventually get an error after a few minutes.  The interesting part is that I've set up SQL monitoring to check what's going on and here is the weird thing: I can see the following stored procedure taking 15 seconds to run:exec GetScheduledWorkflowsForWeb @WebId='xxxx' When I run the same query in SQL studio, it's instantaneous. Furthermore, there's only 550 rows which doesn't look like many.  My questions are: - Is it safe to assume that there is a link between the performance pr

Hi I’m looking for some help im trying to create a workflow that sends an email to our 6000 members on our site, if I just use the group it says complete but doesn’t send anything.  The only other way I can see to do this is to create a querey and a loop for it to use each finding to send a separate email. Can anybody point me in the right direction ?

i am uisng nintex forms calculated value control with simple arithmetical operation and its working fine....But sometime its not displaying correct value instead its showing the text "OverFlow"..

I use nintex workflow to copy multiple-selection check box selected value from one list to another (the source list is in the parent site, the destination list is in a subsite)After the copy, if this field only contains one selected value, it shows on the nintex form, but if it contains multiple selected values, it is blank. I use nintex workflow to call Sharepoint web service to do the copy. The process  added an extra space after each comma (multiple selection separator).  I removed the extra space, the multiple selection selected value is still not showing on the nintex form. 6 selected values in this field separate by comma.

I'm very new to all this, so apologies if this is a bit simple of me..... I need to create a site workflow (I think), which runs once a week (on a Friday), and emails a list of people the events for the following day (it's a weekend duty rota). All I want to get is the Title, Start Date and End Date.  The data looks like this (it's in a Sharepoint calendar): I'd like the email to be something like: "The duty rota for the weekend 23/03/2019 to 24/03/2019 is as follows: Security - blah blahFleet - blah blahDPA - blah blahProduction - blah blah" I've seen some workflows where summary emails are done but I can't work out how to get it to work for this (what I think should be fairly simple) scenario.....could someone please give me some pointers (or better still examples)! Thanks!   

Hi,I want to include conditional workflow to send email using Ninetex in SharePoint. Basically, I am able to do one set of conditional email. For example, if a field value is equal to SG, send Email A or send Email B (where Email A is customised for SG users). However, how to include additional condition in the same workflow? For example, if the field value is equal to HK, send Email C or send Email B (where Email C is customised for HK users).  Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. 

Hi all,I am trying to create a workflow to calculate leave balance left after leave request is approved.I have two froms, one where leave request are made/saved to and other to save number of days left. In the workflow, I have used update item action to update the other list (not sure if this is how it is supposed to be) after approval is made. Configuration is as below:The second list is LeaveBalance and the column that should be updated is Leave Balance. I would like aslo to save the requestor's name so that manager can easily search for a name in the second list. Note that the formula I used is =[30]-[Number of Annual Leave]. 30 is a constant and number of annual leave is set by the requestor.  The configuration is wrong and I am not sure how to configure it, any ideas how can I preform the action?
