Hello!  I have a form that has two nested or cascading lookups (both SharePoint lists).  First look up is an employee list.  Based on the selection from this look up, I need to display a list of all items the selected employee has, not in a drop down, but a complete visible list.  Thanks for your help.

I have a large form with many fields and controls on it.  Form needs to be read only after it has been submitted for approval.  List contains a Status field which defaults to New for new items and then is changed depending upon the approval process. I thought the easiest way to prevent editing is to hide the save button.  However I have not been able to get the appearance expression to correctly hide the button. All help is appreciated.   Thanks.  --Ron

I have a form with many calculated values.At the end of my form, there is a last calculated value which is calculated from the previous ones. When user fills out the form the first time, no prob, it's working fine.But sometimes when opening it for an edit, the calculated values are not calculated in the right order so the final value is wrong. It makes my users disappointed about this. They have to reload the page until it gets right. Is there a way to tell the system in which order should the calculated value should be calculated ?

is there an easy way to put the default attribute "Name (linked to document)" on a nintex form?

I have 2 visible fields in RepeatingSection (GEEname and GEEnum) adn 2 hidden (space and newline).  I will attach my workflow (no loop as this was so slow with safe looping turned on and I could not get it work with for each loop) and form.  I used this link to set up: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/Repeated-Section-to-Plain-Text/ba-p/78416 As you can see from my image the top item is a new item and I created the one below it with identical data except after submitting I editted the item and added more people to the repeating section along with their employee id#s and not sure why it is missing the new line on the second line when it is using the same workflow.  Any ideas???  It seems after teh fifth item the new line come back?!?!

Hi there, I've got a workflow which copies items from a folder in a sharepoint library, which has broken permission and the user has Full Control to: I then use the Copy To Sharepoint action to copy said item to anotehr library in the same site, bacause the item has to end up in a specific folder. The destination folder also has broken permission and the user has contribute permission to it:But when the workflow reached the Copy to Sharepoitn action, the workflow errors and the user receives the below email:When I use the link from the email, i see the below:And in the details i see: The item on which the WF was running does not show as errored: I've battled this for two days now and I just doesn't seem to work. The weirdest part is that the same flow works for other libraries with the same stucture. I've tried recreating the problematic folder and library and i still doesn't work. Any advise is gratly appreciated. Thank you in advance!Edit: Forgot to mention that this is a list workfl

Hi folks, seeking some quick advice. I recently restored our SharePoint Content DB in a recovery to our test environment. We wish to test our Nintex workflow changes in a seperate environment. In doing so we needed to purge the running workflows that came across and we had a PoSH script for that. Prior to this however I updated the SMTP settings to localhost to avoid the inevidable spam of terminated workflows to initiators, etc. I'm at the point now we want to start testing some changes but I really need to re-configure the SMTP settings for the emails per the workflows. I wish to know if by restoring the configuration will we spam the business with the stack of workflows we deleted/cancelled. Is it queued or is it best effort? If the latter, then it should mean I can reconfigure SMTP and I'm good to go. Thanks folks.

Hello, I have built a fairly elaborate InfoPath Start Form through the Workflow Settings box in my Workflow. Today I went to edit it and the "Edit Start Form" is grayed out. When I hover my mouse over, it reads, "This Control is currently disabled. You may not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an onject or item, or the control might not work in this context."Up until this point I never had a problem. I really prefer not to start over because it took me a long time to figure out how to make it work. As of right now the form works, but I was hoping to have the ability to still tweak it as needed. It is worth noting that the "Form type" box is also grayed out with the selection "default."I have attempted to turn off InfoPath Forms in the site collections and reenable it without results. Other forms such as the Flexi Task InfoPath Form works.Is there a way I can access the InfoPath form outside of Nintex Workflow to edit it? Please help! 

I am adjusting current workflow to add conditions within "Run if". Workflow not going through approval path correclty in document library. Starts with Run if,  approval status = Pending; and Checked out to is empty. I would like a secondary condition set. not sure to use run if, set condition, or filter, but have tried them all. Scenario: after workflow kicks off, would like to set a condition if Field 1 = a, b c or d, then send to left approval workflow, if not send to right. Even narrowed down the condition to one choice within parallel actions and workflow is flowing through all options even through this is not the equal value. Seems to be a flaw. Any suggestions.

Could someone please tell me what the exact banner size is in the Class Form?  I would like to recreate and replace the exact piece without it distorting the banner headers for different form titles.Thank you in advance!

Hello together, i have a question to the Nintex Workflow of SharePoint. Are there any possibilty to send a file from the SharePoint to NAS Filesystem? Thank you for replies. Jörn

Hello All, I am new to Nintex and am hoping to get this resolved soon so I can complete my workflows. This part has me hung up. In my workflow there are several needed approvals. Since I need two approvals before the workflow moves to a final approval, I am using a STATE MACHINE. Approval 1 & Approval 2, THEN Final Approval. However one of my fields, Turn Around Time, is a Choice (Standard / Expedieted). If the user chooses Standard, the turn around time is 7 Business days and if the turn around time is Expedieted then the turn around time is 24 to 48 business hours. I have 'Set A Condition' and looking at 'Set a Value' from here, but need to find where I can SET Standard === 24 to 48 business hrs and Expedieted === 7 business days. Should I make a new column on my library where I can call these? I need to set this in the Reminder of the Task / Flexi Tasks. So I need to change Day, Hours, Min.... how do I do this? with a newly created variable == Standard that == 7 bus days or Expe

Hi,I have a requirement to move documents and their version history to an archive location, this is not determined by time or use - but if products are discontinued.  The users have a check box to tick when a product is discontinued and I have a workflow which runs on a daily basis which moves these documents.I have used Vadim's post http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-move-documents-and-preserve-version-history.aspx to get this working in 2010.  It has been in place and doing its job for 18 months or so. I am in the process of migrating the Site to 2016 (on prem) and I am having trouble getting it working. In the web request that does the move you use the following :-"method=move+document:14.0.2.5420&service_name=/&oldUrl=Source/DocSet/aaa.txt&newUrl=Source/DocSet2/aaa.txt&url_list=[]&rename_option=findbacklinks&put_option=overwrite,migrationsemantics" I am assuming that the 14.0.2.5420 has something to do with it being SharePoint2010.  What is the equ

We’ve recently come into the issue of some tech savvy users using the inspector tool (f12) to bypass disabled fields or validation rules set within our Nintex forms. As far as we know it's not being abused, but it would be nice to know if there is a workaround that prevents this just in case.For important fields/forms we’re able to set required fields or restrict edit access via sharepoint and that works well, but it would be good if there was a way to do it inside Nintex forms as well as there is a bit more flexibility inside them.Any ideas?

I have a form field asking for 'best onsite contact for request?' This field has an O365 people lookup control. Based on who is selected in the 'people' control field, I would like to display next to it the user profile details from O365 as the best contact details for that person.  Is this possible and how do I go about it?Only user details I can find are display name and email of current user or created by or modified by. Thanks. 

I am looking for a solution workflow to update fields when it matches two different columns.Below is my scenario:I have a list with fields: full name and id number for which each new items goes through approval. Once approved the status field is set as 1. When a new item is added, and if it matches both full name and id number, then the workflow should automatically update each items status field with 2 and so forth until it reaches 5.Basically, this is a merit system. It has a merit column and the type of merit column. There is 5 different merits types, three based on departments: HR, IT, and BD, and two after all three sector merits are received: Professional, and Expert. When the merit column is either HR, IT, or BD, the merit column should display either of the selected merit types. The merit column must append new merit types received. Once all 3 sectoral merit types are received, on the 4th update, the merit column should say Professional, and on the 5th update, the merit column
