I am using the function fn-userProfilelookup in caml query for the list view control and it is not geting any value it seems, i am not getting any records. The function works in calculated value control, the query works if I set hardcoded value. Also if i use getQueryString function the query works. Is fn-userprofilelookup supported in caml query. <And> <Eq><FieldRef Name='Status' /><Value Type='Text'>Approved</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name='ItemID' /><Value Type='Text'>fn-userProfileLookup(Current User,"ItemId")</Value></Eq></And>

Hello I am trying to send notifications using a query list. Query list action item looks in to an SharePoint Approval List, filter a column based on a value and assign the filtered result to a variable like in the image QL1 in the attachment.  I am sending notifications using Send Notification action item like in the image QL2 in the attachment. Work flow looks like QL3 in attachment and Approval List is QL4 in the attachment.This works fine as long there is one item for each User Role(list column in QL4). If there are multiple items for each role then work flow sends only one email instead of sending it to all the emails which has that role. Can you please help me with this issue. So I want to achieve sending emails to address sorted in a SharePoint list using a query list actions item or any other workflow action item. Thank you.  

Hello, Like the post below, I am trying to use nintex to count the number of number items in a list based on their status (from a dropdown). The problem is, Query List has been removed from the list of tools available by the admins.

We user the People picker field extensively in our forms, but one of the biggest issues is that it does not always return ALL the suggestions.For example, I am looking for "Andrew JONES", so I type in Andrew....I get Andrew ADAMS, Andrew BROWN, Andrew KENNEDY.....but no Andrew Jones. If I type in Andrew Jones it does return.Is there any settings or reason why this would be happening?

Hello, This is regarding a travel request workflow where a requestor submits a travel request, it creates a task for requestor's supervisor and when supervisor approves then it creates a task to the executive to approve/reject the request and so on... If the supervisor does not respond to the task for a certain period then that task is escalated to executives. Now a requestor by mistake submits the travel request with a wrong supervisor's name and later he edited his request and resubmitted the request with correct supervisors name. Now how to cancel the task already sent to the wrong supervisor because that task would be escalated to executives after a certain period of time and that would cause the executive to get two notifications for approval for the same request i.e one from the wrong supervisor and another from the correct supervisor. Are there ways when the requestor edit his request after the submission it would automatically cancel the previous task? Please help!

I'm wondering if it's possible and how to create a URL for the version history page on a document library.  SharePoint puts a link to that on the ribbon but I cannot seem to identify the URL.  Right-click, Copy Shortcut to the icon on the ribbon doesn't give it up.   I'd like users to be able to open that directly. 

I have a form in which an end user will select (dropdown) option YES if data is ok or NO if there are issues. If they choose NO they also have to select reasons (checkboxes) why.  In the event an end user selects NO and chooses reasons THEN switches to YES and then submits the form -- the checkboxes are left populated.  I would like to clear the checkboxes if the end user decides to change the option to YES and submit. Current solution: If the end user selects YES after selecting NO and has checked reasons why, they are prompted to go back and manually clearing  out all check boxes which involves temporarily switching back to NO.

The LDAP Import Service Broker is created to read information from a LDAP directory and imports the results into a storage SmartObject, based on the matching properties. The LDAP Import Service Broker is based on the Excel Import Service Broker, developed by Johnny Fang. You can find it here    Instead of importing results from Excel, this service broker has been modified to read from a LDAP directory and import the results into a SmartObject of your choosing. In order to do an successful import, the defined properties to be returned from the LDAP search must match the property names of the SmartObject.

Hello all.  Been banging my head against a wall and would greatly appreciate any assistance.  I have a form panel that needs to be hidden with a variety of AND and OR.   Fields:QuantityNamedControl = Number columnUnknownQuantityNamedControl = Yes/No named control not connected to a columnChoiceNamedControl = Choice column I need to only show the panel in the following conditions:1) QuantityNamedControl is greater than 422) UnknownQuantityNamedControl is checked3) QuantityNamedControl is greater than 4 AND ChoiceNamedControl is Yes Rule I've tried:  Hide whenor(lessThan(QuantityNamedControl,42),not(UnknownQuantityNamedControl),and(lessThan(QuantityNamedControl,4),!equals(ChoiceNamedControl,'Yes'))) I've also tried this using && and ||, all with very strange behavior.  The OR seems to be behaving as an AND, and the AND at the end containing the choice doesn't work at all.  Thanks in advance for any input.

Let me first say I am really very new to using Nintex.  I am trying to establish a workflow that copies three fields from a new entry in List A to List B.  The next step is to create a separate entry in List B for several different offices.  The entry is being copied from List A to List B, but when the separate entries are created, the three fields I wanted copied are not populating.  Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I would like to terminate a number of workflows that are still running. However I have deleted the item in the list a while ago. When I try to terminate the workflow, it cannot because it cannot find the item. How do I do this? I have seen posts where you could restore items from your Recycle Bin. But lets assume not all the deleted items are in the Recycle Bin, what do you do?ThanksKirk

I have a workflow for a request that branches out based on the input of the request into 5 separate lists. It adds the attachment to the appropriate list in another site in SharePoint via the call web service AddAttachment. All 5 branches are set up the same way and for some reason some days they will all successfully attach and others they tend to fail several times during the day. I can try ending the worfklow and starting again and they will just continue to fail. The only way I have been successful at running the errored items is waiting until the next day or sometimes hours later. I have already tried recreating the web service action in the workflow and nothing. Any ideas or suggestions? Error:Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: <soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.

Hey!I'm currently facing a problem regarding formatted hyperlinks in Flexi Task notifications. After I created a Flexi Task, I start with the Task notification. Here I need a Link to the web version of the current Item and its name as the Name of the Hyperlink.Therefore I enter {Common:ItemUrl}?web=1 into the "Address" line and {ItemProperty:FileLeafRef} into the "Hyperlink text to display" field.Looking good so far. I save it. I trigger the workflow and I get the following Mail.Perfect. Now I (for example) forgot a word, a formatting, want to review it, want to add sth. or sth. else. I open the Flexi Task.Here we can see the "{ItemProperty:FileLeafRef}" switched already into "name". First I thought it was just a wysiwyg feature. But when I change nothing and save it just after opened it, the following happens when I trigger the workflow again.So, to come to my question: What happened here? Is this a (known) bug? With 20 Flexi Tasks in my current Workflow, all with reminder enabled, it

I am building a form for a ticketing system. When the user fills out the item form and hits submit, I would like to make those fields static (read-only) so they cannot be changed when the user clicks the list item and selects "edit item". I do not want to take away all controls as I want them to be able to add notes. Only the initial selections they made should be read only. What is the best way to do this? Is it through a rule?Is it through an expression when building the initial form? Is this done through a workflow item?Thank you.I attached a screenshot of what I am describing above. The screenshot is from when you select the item in the list and click "edit item".
