Afternoon. I'm trying to build a scheduled site workflow which looks at the start date of an employee in a list, then sends alerts if today's date is one month, three months or six months on from the start date. The alerts go to the employee or the employees manager depending on which of the criteria is hit.Broadly speaking my approach has been:Query list. Store results in variables For each action on the list, Target Collection 'CollStartDate' store results in 'datStartDate' Calculate dates 1 month/3 month/6month in parallel actions Run If based on the dates above Collection Operation Notification The notification isn't firing and I'm floundering a bit. Has anyone built anything similar. All help gratefully appreciated!      

Hello,   I am trying to control a specific form (text box) to be in display mode for everyone except users who are in specific list (not groups)   I apologize if my terminology is not correct as i inherited a project with zero experience in nintex 🙂   from reading the forums for past two days, the simple way to do it is:   unfortunately this is not an option for me as the way the flow is designed is using sharepoints lists and not separate groups   So I have multiple lists, lets call them: List Aa List Bb List Cc   if I want only users from "List Bb" to be able to edit this form, while other users in Aa and Cc can only see the form but unable to edit it. the Lookup function (used to look up users in list) doesnt exist in the Appearance expression like the picture above. Is it impossible to do something similar to group but with list?   Thank you        

Good day all,   I am new to using the repeating section function in nintex sharepoint and need some help extracting the xml that is created and putting it into other columns within the same list.   In essence what I am trying to do is create a dictionary in sharepoint that allows for multiple definitions for the same word.   I am unable to provide screenshots for examples due to the confidentiality of the work.   Please let me know if anyone has experience with this or knows a solution to my problem.   Cheers

I have run into an error when trying to use fn-Not when setting the visibility or ribbon settings on a button. When i use this formula: I get a hard SharePoint error when opening the form. This, on the other hand, works as expected, just in reverse of what i need it to do: Can anyone see anything wrong with the equation or can reproduce. I am using Forms 1023 Version: 2.11.8.30   Thanks, in advance. Ed    

This may not fit specifically for nintex for sharepoint but I really don't know where to put this...   There's no way to block or report a user in the inbox. I got this from some random guy today. Please add a report feature in the system so we can block idiots who want to spam us with garbage:    

Hi all, When I try to edit the configuration of a Task I get the following error message: "Oops something went wrong.If the problem persists, contact your support team with the following information: SingleTaskAction - save : TypeError: textPlaceholder is null". I do not get it in all tasks of the workflow, only in 1 of them and I get it even if I change nothing in the Task configuration, just simply save it. My workflow is split in 3 parts and is using a component workflow. I do not find any references to a similar error message online, anybody has a suggestion what could be the cause? Thank you, Hajnal Workflow works as designed and I had no error messages in a while :-).

I have a client form with a requirement to include a custom header or footer on a form using 2 fields inside the form.  I basically need to include the client name and client ID on every page of the form.   The form has some expanding multi-line text fields so the form can vary in size. Is there some way to do this?  

I have a workflow with a State Machine with 10 different stages.  Each stage is a Reviewer or Approver for the request.  They have the option to Approve or Request Clarification from the initiator.     When they select  "Need Clarification" I have set up a stage for each individual Reviewer and Approver to send a task to the initiator to update or provide the clarification that the Reviewer or Approver needed.   ISSUE:   On some stages the workflow flows correctly.  It goes from: Reviewer - request clarification  change state to Initiator task then back to Reviewer.    Then on other stages it will do the change but will not run the initiator's task it will just resend the Reviewer/Approver task back to complete. Reviewer/Approver - request clarification change state goes to Initiator task ( will not send email to do task) goes back to Reviewer/Approver task. QUESTIONS: Will changing the Outcome name form Reject to Need Clarification cause an issue? Is there a maximum number of change s

In my workflow there is a "Wait for item update" control being used. The workflow is to wait until a certain field has been updated and then it can continue. The problem is that the field was updated days ago and the workflow is not registering it.   Field that needs to be updated:   Version History showing field was updated   Workflow History indicates control was triggered prior to update occuring.   Is there a way to "refresh" the workflow to see if it will pick up the update?  

Hi Everyone,   We have a workflow to process a simple approval task using the "Flexi Task".   In the Flexi Task, the use will receive a email notification which contain most of the decision making information.    So, user would like to perform the approval ("Approve", "Reject" or "Return") in email by clicking a button or link(represented by a hyperlink).   We know the Outlook has the integration for that, but our customer does not using it. Can anyone give me a hits to implement the link for the requirement?   PS: I do tried the "{Common:Approve}" and "{Common:Reject}" but it can only apply to the "Request Approval"

Hi Community   I'm facing the following situation an I hope somebody has an idea how to manage it to get work.   Basically the goal is to have a simple form where users can choose of different time slots (just one slot per user) of when they want to be migrated. We have different locations and each location and time slot has a limited amount of slots. That means location A with time slot 12:00 for example has 10 slots. So if 10 users booked this slot it shouldn't appear any more in the form. As I think it's not possible to hide specific lookup entries I thought I'm creating a column for each time slot and hide this if the maximum of 10 users is reached. That for I created a small workflow which calculates a count always +1 and writes it to the list (each slot has an own column for the count). Now I want to hide the column in the form as soon as we have a list entry for this slot with count 10. Unfortunately I can't manage to get it work. I thought of simply lookup for this value in the

Hi All, I'm new to this so please bare with me. I'm currently working on a Nintex New Responsive form with a Cascading lookup. Column 1 (Apps) has 5 options, and I want Column 2 (Specific App) to only display when one of two specific value is select in Column 1. If you look at my screenshot, I am trying to avoid displaying options when CPQ is selected. I only want options under Specific App to display when DX or Oracle are selected under Apps. I do not need the Specific App for CPQ, SharePoint or Intership to display. I have tried various formulas, but have been unsuccessful in trying to exclude an option from displaying in Column 2 (Specific App). My screenshot shows that i selected CPQ and it still shows under Specific App. I'd like to hidedIs this possible in the new responsive design? Thanks in advance for any help!
