Hi again,I have a list of values in a SP list, actually a list of people's names.I am showing this list in a form using the List Lookup control (let's call this Control1). I am then using a calculated field using ParseLookup (let's call this Control2) on Control1 to extract the selected name.I am then trying to do a UserProfileLookup(Control2, "Manager") but this is always blank.This normally works but the parselookup was a new element in the mix, i'm wondering can the userprofilelookup no longer work correctly on a parsed value?thanks...

Is anyway to set a people picket field to read only?I can disable it  using the form properties but I am using the API to set the people picker on the form.   When set to disabled, the value does not save.   I need to have a way to set the field to read only so the value is saved.

i found this How To, the title of which describes what i want to do (i.e. hide using multiple choices/values) but it is not clear to me how to add the second choice to the structure and also as this was an Office365 solution, does this also work for Sharepoint 2013? Rule-To-Hide-Panel-Based-On-Single-or-Multiple-Choicescurrently I am using 1 rule with the condition:not(Control1=="No") and then have a second rule applied to the same control.not(Control2=="Yes") How would I do this using the structure suggested in the link or how can I use the "Or" function/operator to do the same and wrap up my two conditions into one?

I'm very new to Nintex and the OOTB CAML query. The query list is collecting ID information that have entered in the SP list form as "New" and then it will send the collection of the list to my email at the end of the day. In the email notification, it sends the results comma seperated e.g. (13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;24;25;26;27;28). Is there a way to format this without commas and then display vertically? Also, can I join the URLs to be displayed right next to the ID numbers?

Hi,I know that this forum is wrong for my question but I couldn't select a more appropriate one.There are two more days to submit a solution to the 2019 Nintex Solution Innovation Awards. But I couldn't find any information about what will be done with the submitted information afterwards. Will it be used for marketing purposes somewhere on the Nintex-website? How many solutions can win the award? Just one, the three best of all or how many? And in what form is the award transfered? Is it some kind of badge-image, will it be presented on the Nintex-Website or maybe a trophy made from pure gold that will be shipped to the winner? That would be really cool :smileywink: Greetings from NurembergRicky

I know this can be probably achieved via the workflow but wonder if it can be also done on the form when submitting?? How do we validate if the number/text within [PONumber] already exist in the List [Item Lists], colum [PONumber] and if it does then show error message. The form is loaded from the same list where it should validate against it, to check if the number/text exist in the column! I was thinking something with lookup() lookup("Item List", "ID", PONumber, "PONumber")Please advise?

I don't seem to have "Assign Flexi task" in my list of actions. I have signed up for the Nintex workflow and forms Office 360  30 day trial.  I am trying to create simple review and approval process for a document library in SharePoint online.Is this action not available anymore, or part of a different Nintex Service?Thank you.-Reid

Hi, I have a form that I use for construction site inspections. I am using the "Attachments" control to take pictures and store them on the form. My questions are: 1) How can I make a View form that shows the actual images in stead of just links? 2) How can I make the Sharepoint list view also show (thumbnails of) the images directly in the list instead of just the paperclip icon? I know that question 2 is not specifically Nintex related but maybe I get lucky and some of you have had the same requirement ;-) RegardsLeif

Hi I want to make sure a value is selected from a List Lookup control. I've tried using : isNullOrEmpty(parseLookup(ProjectLookup,True))  and can't see why this won't work.No value is returned from the parseLookup if nothing is selected in the drop down, however isNullOrEmpty seems to think something is returned as it is never invalid.I've also tried separating out the parselookup to a calculated value with a name and then validating that for empty. Still doesn't work. I've also tried validating the control itself on 'ProjectLookup'. I feel like that should work as well. isNullOrEmpty(ProjectLookup) or isNullOrEmpty(self)Not sure what else to do.

Hi, Experts! How can my team members managed to work collaboratively on one single Workflow Project? We using Nintex for a while now and seems it cannot be shared within team members not like doing a custom .NET application. We need your help and advise as we need to strategize and speed up our development process. Thanks,Ryan 

I'm trying to pull a simple text column out of one list, sort it, and use the collection variable to create items in another list.  I set up the Query List as so:  When I use the Run Now function, it shows the data exactly as I expect it.  In the very next action, I try to dump the collection to the History list.  It's blank.  The For Each loop I set up to process the collection doesn't find it either (not surprisingly).  colSorted is definitely a collection variable, so I'm stumped as to why it's not getting populated.  Any ideas? For the record, all I'm trying to do is create a phone list based on AD data.  I'm able to LDAP the data into a list, but need to have it sorted alphabetically for display.  There's probably better ways to do this, but I need multiple columns of the data for printing purposes.  Thanks!

I need to create a workflow that will send out a task reminder on the 1st Monday of every month.  How can I do this?

Hello - New to nintex and javascript.I have a SharePoint custom list with a nintex NewForm including custom javascript (and HTML, CSS) and I need to make the attachment control required.  I have found many solutions and suspect the reason I have not been able to solve the issue is placement of the attachment validation within the existing javascript:var queryString = function(field, url) { var href = url ? url : window.location.href; var reg = new RegExp('[?&]' + field + '=([^&#]*)','i'); var string = reg.exec(href); return string ? string[1] : null; };NWF$(document).ready(function() { NWF$(".nf-form-footer").hide(); NWF$("#"+ IIStatus).hide(); NWF$("#"+ ICStatus).hide(); var isEditMode = document.location.pathname.indexOf("/EditForm.aspx") > -1; if(!isEditMode ) { NWF$("#"+ SumComment).val('Please Approve.'); var amount = NWF$("#"+ IAmount).val(); var location = NWF$("#"+ ILocation).val() == null ? '' : NWF$("#"+ ILocation)[0].options.length >

 We are using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex forms and workflow 2013. I have a list with a single text column "veroorzakerSoort". This single text column "veroorzakerSoort" will be filled by a Nintex form. After the form is completed there is a nintex workflow started automatically. In the workflow I try to do a SQL select query and add as parameter the value of SharePoint column "veroorzakerSoort". I dont get an error, but the result is an empty string. I think I have this issue because of the trema in the value of the SharePoint column "veroorzakerSoort". In my example the value is "Cliënt" or "Familie van een cliënt". When I test the query with a hardcoded parameter it works great also with the trema. Who can help me to troubleshoot this?  

I'm building a Microsoft Powerapp which can run offline on IOS and is intended to launch a particular form in Nintex Mobile and pre-populate several fields. However, no matter what nintexmobile://form/?ntx-name URL I construct, I always get the following error: "requested item was not found" This seems similar to a previous post which received no replies (see link below). I want to try the ntx-id parameter but this results in same thing and I'm not sure I'm using the right value. Can anyone please point me to where I should look for the Form ID in Nintext for Sharepoint? It's worth noting that if I enter the same URL (using a ntx-name parameter) into Safari on the iPAd, this correctly launches the form in Nintex Mobile. So I'm guessing it's a problem in Powerapps, something it does to the URL before actioning it. Still I'd like to try the ntx-id if someone can point me in the right direction. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-Office-365/Deep-Link-Form-Error-By-Name/m-p/62311#M

I have a lookup field on a form. With that lookup field there are several secondary fields that I want to have autopopulate some read only textboxes when an item is selected. I KNOW that I have done this in the past, but I am at a loss with how to recreate it now! TIA for your help!

Hi there!I am struggling with the image control in Nintex Forms.I have an image control and would like the URL to be the uploaded MySite image of the current user.https://[site]/User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/[firstname]_[lastname]_LThumb.jpgSo when a user opens the form, he will see his MySite picture.Unfortunately, the image control does not allow form variables, named controls or the runtime function UserProfileLookup.Using a button of the type image won't work either.How do I manage to do that?Thank you!

I have Nintex for SharePoint 2013 On Premise. I need to change an existing Nintex form that's already being used in production. Somebody else made it. Is there a way that I can publish it and see what it looks like without breaking what's already being used? I don't just want to preview it. I want to also be able to test it and see what it looks like when published.I remember a long time ago seeing there was an option to publish to development and another option to publish to production. Is that just in SharePoint Online?If there is a way to publish to development, does that have a different URL than production?If there is no way to publish to development, is there a different way that I can make changes and test them without risk of breaking what's already published?

I try to debug some huge workflow. There is some workflow variable "strWerkplekNummer" which is used in some of the 50 actions. I would like to find the actions which are doing something with this workflow variable. Is there some way to find them? Maybe some search functionanlity or maybe in the export xml?

I got a scenario where the Approver want to delegate the task to the multiple people. But currently when he  is delegating the task he was only able to put only one name in the Delegated To People Picker Column.So do anyone know how to enable multiple people delegation to for a task so that the Approver can put more than 2 name in the Delegated To column 

Hello,how can I insert a Nintex variable in a XML-declaration (Web service)e.q.<t:Subject>{WorkflowVariable:subject}</t:Subject>? 

This doesn't really deserve an entire blog post about, but I figured I would make something here as a small reminder to check the tiny things when something isn't working or has broken for no obvious reason. It would seem that the Build String action in Nintex Workflow has what I would consider to be a bug. If you use the Insert Reference button to open the reference dialog, any time some of the times you hit the space-bar, the character inserted is not a standard Space character (aka: 0x20 or in UTF-8: %20), instead you actually get what is called a Non-Breaking Space (0xA0 or in UTF-8: %C2%A0)! Despite them being different entities, they are visually the same, making it very difficult to tell them apart. You can test this by simply opening the Build String Action, clicking on the Insert Reference button, inserting a few spaces, and then copy / pasting that output into a hidden character checker such as (View non-printable unicode characters). In the following example I have three lin

Can someone please advise on the practical limit of the number of items that a Query List action can process before timing out?  My understanding is that Query List does not take advantage of Indexed Columns.Reference:This is a product improvement request that was created in July 2014.https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/229405-1-nintex-workflow-for-sharepoint/suggestions/6231594-query-list-action-doesn-t-scale-to-support-indexedI will be creating a document library that will have several thousand documents added to it each month.  I will need to periodically (daily / weekly) check some fields with a workflow to determine action to be taken on the appropriate documents.  Any field I use in a Query List action will be indexed.  I have read that the Query List action will time out with large lists, and also that it could encounter the 5,000 item list view threshold.  If it has to look at each item in the list to determine if the criteria are appropriate to include it in the resulting coll

I have a nintex form on an Office 365 Group site. I can see the item level permission change was succesfull using another tool but  when i try to view the form i get "Sorry, you don't have access." I granted the user Edit permission of the item, while testing i also granted the user read access to the list but still no luck.
