Hi all,  I'm looking to create a rule to hide a panel when the current month is not equal to September through December.  I tried calculating the dates and then hiding the panel for dates greater than or equal to 01-01-2019 and less than 01-09-2019. However I didn't quite manage that and I realised this rule would have to be revised come 2020. So I thought I could go with the runtime function: contains(). The idea is to hide the panel if the current date does not contain "september" etc. I used the following rule: !contains(txt_CurrentDate, "september") && !contains(txt_CurrentDate, "oktober") && !contains(txt_CurrentDate, "november") && !contains(txt_CurrentDate, "december") txt_CurrentDate is a calculated value control that references the CurrentDate, saved as a string.I checked the date format, for example today would be: woensdag 24 april 2019 00:00:00 (date culture NL-nl). Also, I tried to test the above rule, by using the function dateAddMonths().  I can't

For a workflow I created Nintex Forms on a few Flexi-Tasks. Which worked like a charm. Now I've made a few corrections on the form, save it and published the workflow again. Existing workflow tasks with the Nintex Form don't seem to be updated; unfortunately this is on a production system and I haven't been able to check if new task do have the changes.Does anyone have info to resolve this?

Hi ,   I have a Nintex Workflows 2013 Standard Version and which was working well in my Development Environment.

Hello, I have a leave request form that has a tick box needs to be ticked when employee require flight tickets. I need to add a field that is only visible when the employee ticks the box. I have added the filed in a control panel and as I know I need to add formula to it. Any suggestions? 

Hello I am in process of creating a workflow with a Loop Function, of which I do not have much experience with. The loop will run through until the condition is met and then continues with the final step... at each time, it checks the status and then moves to the next branch.Each branch is technically the same process (not sure how to optimise it better) it just repeats the steps per status. In a nutshell, it sends an email to user, stores the current date + 1 into a variable and then waits until the variable is complete, then it goes back to the loop...   The ScopeTo notify the user when items have been booked in.To remind the user about the items every 2 days.To escalate the case to the manager after 5 days. Also, as soon as the request is edited/updated then the loop should re-start imidiately and go via the relevant branch. QuestionIs it possible to restart the loop on the current running workflow?How to optimise the above for better outcome ....    

I have a status field (dropdown) with 7 total options.  And 2 date fields (date picker).2 of the options are Started and Completed.  And the Date fields are Started Date and Completed Date.If the User selects Started/Completed from the dropdown, I would like the corresponding date fields to auto-fill to TODAY.Any help?

I'm trying to create a workflow which should list all open tasks from a person.Somehow I cannot filter by the username. It always shows me an empty result, eventhough when I delete the <where> statement, I can see the the AssignedTo value, which I'm filtering for.I have seen this post, but sadly it doesn't work for me:Query List action by assigned to Thanks for your help :)<Query> <Lists> <List ID="{675F51CD-8654-4CB4-85E1-BE4DAAB73107}" /> </Lists> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="AssignedTo" /> </ViewFields> <Where> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="AssignedTo" LookupId="True" /> <Value Type="User">: i:0#.w|DomainDomainuser</Value> </Eq> </Where> </Query>

We have several documents that need to get approvals with DocuSign.  The contents of the document are different every time, but the last sheet with the approvals is always the same.  Is there a way to create an approval process where the new document is uploaded for review, but all the approval signatures are collected on the one standard approval sheet and then merged with the document at the end of the process?  When demoing DocuSign to our business groups it appears that *each* document would have to be modified to add the signature boxes - a repetative task that the business wasn't very keen on and we're trying to find a work around for. 

Hello Nintex Community !I am trying to use the "Query User Profile" action in a Nintex Workflow (SP2010), and I I have a strange behavior:The user field in the action is filled with a list column (containing an email), and return the property "manager" of user if exists.It is working well for almost all of our users, except a few ones. I have checked that user (email, manager, hidden user info list, etc) and there are no differences with a "normal" user. I have the error : "profile with email xxxx@xxx.xxx" cannot be found". If I try to manually enter that user in the Query User Profile action (by entering the email in Nintex Workflow Designer), the email is converted with SharePoint user, and workflow is working well.Where do the "Query User Profile" action look for getting a profile ? PS : I tried a simple query user profile workflow in a SharePoint 2016 platform, and it does not work at all with the email address !Any help would be appreciated .Thank you !

I have a notes field.  Anytime that notes field is modified, I would like an email to trigger. In the on-prem version, this was simple.  The Notes field was set up on version history, so I just had a condition set to "is not empty." It worked just fine. New Sharepoint Online doesn't have the version history feature.  And their workflows have lost some handy conditions as well.  Any idea how I can trigger an email solely when the Notes field is modified? 

Hi All,I'm working on creating a leave request and our approvers would like the ability to see if anyone else has days off on the days they're requesting. For example in the flexi task or request approval email, before they approve the leave request, the approver wants a list of already approved items for the dates of the current request. This will determine if they can approve or decline the requested time.  Thanks in advance  

Howdies!New to the Nintext forums.  I searched around and did not find an immediately relevant answer, but perhaps my query could be refined... Anyway, I am looking to use a Nintex form to post information via REST to different (non-sharepoint) site. Essentially, I would like to be able to integrate our helpdesk's software via a REST api call.  We have the REST interaction accomplished in a powershell script, but I am wondering what the appropriate approach in Nintex Forms would be? (if any)I am thinking that Web Request Control would be the place to start, with some custom javascript that assembled the JSON object to post via a button.I would like to keep it simple, but maybe using workflow (to interact with the external service's REST API) once the information has been submitted to a SharePoint list would be the path as well.Any thoughts or tutorials on how to interact a sharepoint form with an external REST api via Nintext?  Some leads so far:https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016

Hello, I need to set up escalation (let's say from approver to substitute). But in approval matrix, not all aprrovers has their own substitute. So I need to set up condition if substitute equals blank - no action is taken. Thank you for any help.

I am creating a form with a repeating section in which the users may have to add up to 30 or so rows.  One of the users requested a keyboard shortcut for adding a row without having to click on "Add a Row" to speed up input.  Is this possible?Thank you!

Big thanks to @Wittster for spinning up this group. My name is Ryan Swift and I work for the California Department of Health Care Services. We're just getting started with Nintex and have a few ideas. I'm excited to see what everyone else it up to and how you're using Nintex to get through some red tape.

I am updating my current workflows from SP Designer to Ninetx. I have one workflow with 28 steps.  How do I recreate this in Nintex? I need to develop a workflow that sends an email notification when a new item is created based on specific fields and fields options. Lets say I have 3 fields: Company Name (compA, compB), Product (prodA, prodB) and Type of Issue (Defect, Question).I have listed the rules below,but how do I build this in Nintex?1. If Company = compA and Product = prodA and Type of Issue = Defect, send to Abby Smith2. If Company = compA and Product = prodB and Type of Issue = Defect, send to Bryan Jones3. If Company = compA and Product = prodA and Type of Issue = Question, send to Betty Thompson4. If Company = compA and Product = prodB and Type of Issue = Question, sendto Jane Doe

Hello - I was wondering if it would be possible to trigger a Nintex workflow using a field inside a repeating section. I have a repeating section that will ask if follow up is needed, and then it will designate a person for the follow up. I would like the WF to trigger if "follow up is needed" is selected, but this may change depending on the different interventions taking place (hence the repeating section). Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Licet

Hi there, So I have a document set workflow that runs only on 'content type = Document Set'. I'm building a second workflow for the documents therin that is intended to monitor for changes within the document set. It's intent is to stop the running workflow on the document set itself if a document is altered in anyway.  I know that i can learn which document set the document is from via some regex and some itemURLS, but is there an easy way to terminate the document set workflow from a separate workflow? Thanks a bunch for your time!

I am currently running SharePoint 2016 on Prem with a single seperate Front end and SQL server setup.  We have the July 2018 Nintex patch installed and all SharePoint patches up to December installed.   ISSUE:On April 18, 2019, all of the tasks for a list suddenly stopped completing.  They would mark as pending but they would not mark either approved or rejected (see attached picture).  The Flexi-Task is setup up so that all must agree on a single person task and the Save button is a "Save and Continue" setting.  No changes were made on April 17th and the server has had a reboot. I have been trying to ensure that all the correct settings are there.I know that others have seen this issue before but this seems to continue cropping up.  I have tried restarting the workflow assigned to the Flexi-task to no success.   Thoughts anyone? Thank you!

My workflow was working sweet as a nut then I started getting the error message on a flexi task. I Googled the error and tried adding a New Task in the workflow settings but I got a slightly different 'null' error.I tried a few other things then set up a test library and test workflow and I get the same error. Is it the environment? Any suggestions on what I can do?

I'm running into some issues while creating an automated rule to send a system generated notifications.What I'm trying to accomplish is that an email be sent 3 days after an employee is assigned to an existing entry if they haven't confirmed the date associated with the entry.  Here's a text version of what I'm envisioning the workflow to look like:"Date PRR Confirmed w/ POC" is blank+"Total Briefing Hours Approved" has a numeric value in the field+3 calendar days after the "PRR/Briefer Name" field has a value input=System generated email is sent to Employee and their Manager is cc'd.The first issue I'm experiencing is with the way a Send Notification is sending out emails.  For some reason, when I insert a reference to the field that has the assigned employees name and cc: their manager, the greeting looks something like thisHello i:0#.w|fsfs145557;i:0#.w|fsfs144640;i:0#.w|fsfs151557 ,I have the SharePoint field set up to pull the employees name out of our company's Active Directory.I

Hey folks!I know there's a DocGen section but it's "for Salesforce" apparently, so I'm posting here.I have a nested repeating section. General Contractor is our big repeating section, Sub Contractor is our nested repeating section. I'm cool with getting data out but I am racking my brain to figure out how to create a table from this data in DocGen. The thought I originally had was to create individual tables per GC (by having all GC data in collections) and then having rows inside that, but then I realized... DocGen won't have any way to know when the subs stop for one GC and start for the next.Basically the outcome we want is like this:General Contractor:ABC 123Headcount:4Sub:BLAH INCHeadcount:7Sub:SNARK LTDHeadcount:11Total GC:4Total Sub:18Total Headcount:22General Contractor:CDE 456Headcount:2Sub:UGH LLCHeadcount:4...and it continues on like that. You get the point.Ideally it'd be a table per GC. All I can think of right now is needing to almost build out a single collection per col
