Hi, I did search for this, but unfortunately couldn't find anything on it. I'm looking to see what action my workflow is in when it errors by using the graphical display that you can use with list workflows. Unfortunately, I can't seem to do this with site workflows. Is there a way to do this?  Thanks!

I am attempting to create a custom action for SharePoint 2016 on-prem using the documenation and samples from the SDK.  I have the custom action written and deployed, but when I attempt to use it in a workflow and publish that workflow, I get the following error:  "soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow:<Error><CompilerError Line="-1" Text="Type GetGroupMembership.GetGroupMembershipActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /></Error>"I have placed the following line in the web.config, but continue to get this error: <authorizedType Assembly="GetGroupMembership, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f4377886582ac619" Namespace="GetGroupMembership.*" TypeName="*" Authorized="True" /> Anyone have any ideas as to what else I might need to do to get this working? 

Hello!I am creating a repeating section for cost centers.fn-GreaterThan()I want the formula to make it so that the maximum amount of repeating lines is no greater than the amount of choices selected in a previous question i.e. if they choose 5 states, there should only be 5 cost centers but if they choose 10 states there should be 10 cost centers. Is using "Greater Than" the start of the formula or should I use something else? How can a make a formula that fits what I want to do?

I have an SQl query on a form to display total from a table using a procedure.  Iam using Label as Display Format. I am able to display correct number when there is data but when there is no data in the SQL table it displays nothing on the form. I want it to show 0. When I test the query using Run Now in the designer it does show 0 ,, I am not sure why it cannot display the same 0 on the form. In the pic you can see "Year 1 count" is a column in my list "Total_Count" is the output column in the database. I am not sure if I selected all this rightAny ideas please. 

For anyone wanting an example workflow to test and play with in SharePoint 2010, here is a package containing the following which I put together for a demo.Registration for Training workflowRegistration List The DUCERIM Process FormTraining Calendar ListThe scenario is a calendar list that tracks events and a registration list that tracks registrants for the events.  The workflow captures information from the user, creates a new registration and provides some level of calculations for the event attendance numbers.  Its pretty simple, but if you have questions, let me know.FYI: It also has a readme.pdf file to help set it up.  Its based on SharePoint 2010, but I will work to create a new one in SharePoint 2013 and include Nintex Forms for that one. Please leave your comments about it if you use it. Thanks,Eric

Currently I have a SharePoint 2013 On-Premise w/Nintex 2013 Forms/Workflows.I have a new project I'm working on and I'm looking for ideas from the community on whether my Nintex platform or a different tool(s) could be used to achieve the following requirements:01. Individual project Managers fill out a Nintex Form or other document/form they've been assigned02. Monthly automatically compile all of the projects into one Master Document/Form with a dynamically built 'Table of Contents' w/Pages indicating start page of each project w/link to index directly to the individual project within the master as well would be nice.03. Master Document/Form also needs to be printable04. Once Master Document is produced send an email with link to the Master Document to interested parties.Suggestions/Ideas would be appreciated as I'm not sure that Nintex Forms is the way to go with the above requirements.Frank

Hello everyone,I created a validation rule on a metadata control : ,however the rule never works. I can validate the forms even if the metadata control is empty.And when I try to connect the metadata control to one of my list metadata column I get this alert :Error message in the logs :"Failed to retrieve form control for canvas. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.."My version of Nintex forms is 2.9.1.0 and Nintex Workflow is 3.1.7.0Any ideas ? Thanks for your support

hi all,  I am just trying to do something relatively simple but i've obviously done it wrong (again) so seeking your assistance to identify the issue. I have a form with two datetime type controls called StartDate (which is 'connected to' the list column StartDate) & EndDate (which is 'connected to' the list column EndDate). I have created a couple of calculated value cells, one of which requires a 3rd input, the other which just gets the days difference between the start and end date. This calculated value uses the dateAddMonths inline function with the parameters StartDate (from Item Properties) and intMonthsToAdd (an integer type Form Variable I have created).Q1. Am I using the right control?Q2. Can I use a Calculated Value to display a calculated date as per the below format?  This (below) is the calculated value for the days difference between the start and end date. The Form Variable 'intDaysDifference' shown in the formula bar below uses the following formula to calculate it

Hi all, i just use nintex in those recent day. I have a question related to "List columns" inside "Repeating Section" in Nintex Form.Main idea is:- List columns in Form control can be connected to Sharepoint column when it is inside "Repeating section". So if i puts more than one (item - corlor - price - quantity) by using Repeating Section, each item will be treated as different "New Item" in Sharepoint, put it in different row and later i can export to excel file.Exp:                                       ITEM     COLOR     PRICE     QUANTITYfirst row in Sharepoint:           item1      black         4                10 second row in sharepoint:      item2       red            3                8third row in Sharepoint           Item3      yellow       7              12

Hi there, I'am trying to create a decision help for users based on SP2016/Nintex2016. I don't think that I need a workflow for this. I've started by creating a custom list with Questions for users with a choice "Yes or No". Formatting for the choice are radio buttons. Creating now a form comes up with the questions and radio boxes defined in the sharepoint list columns.Now I would like to display a small text box on the form with two different content depending on the choice of radio buttons. Like: Question 1 = YesQuestion 2 = NoText box when one question is "Yes" should be configured to show another text. Standard Setting for all questions is "No" and should show another text than when a question is answered with "Yes". Maybe someone know what has to be defined as variables or rules to get this done? Thanks a lot :)

I am trying to upgrade Nintex Workflow 2013 to the latest version. I have ensured all services are running required for the installation by following the steps by Wisam Fawzi.Now, when the run the Nintex Workflow 2013 Installer in the server hosting Central Admin, it gets stuck in Updating Solution Core Components > Upgrade job for solution Core Components (NintexWorkflow2013Core.wsp) is not created yet (time waiting = x seconds)After an hour, it throws an error "Job(s) was/were never created for solution Core Components (NintexWorkflow2013Core.wsp) upgrade, waited for 3600 seconds. One or more errors were detected. Please scroll up for details." (screenshot below). There is no details listed above. Can somebody guide me how this can be resolved? Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

I made a formatting rule as below and it is working properly. and(Status=="Final Report",{Self}=="") However it is not woking if it is changed to validation rule. 

Hi I need some pointers for a company policy acknowledgment workflow. Would like to know if the scenario we have is possible to implement or if there are potential issues that others can forsee with what is possible in Nintex. I found some old posts on the subject but none had any solutions that I could get help from hence posting on this subject again. System in use: Sharepoint 2013 on-premise, Nintex Workflow Enterprise, Nintex Forms Standard Scenario: All company policies are located in a document library as Word/PDF documents. They have metadata such as Status (Current/Superseded), Date Last Reviewed, Date Superseded etc associated with them. Up till now these policies were merely advertised in the staff newsletter however the business would like to:start sending policies to every staff member through nintex workflow+forms.This can happen at the time a policy is modified, in which case an AD group containing all users would be usedOr when a new employee joins us, in which case just

I've successfully exported the content of a tracking tool to 2 Excel Worksheets in the same workbook, 1 of which has a Pivot Table. The challenge I'm faced with is creating a column that calculates the totals of my criteria in the tab where the Pivot Table has been placed.  The idea is that the column containing the totals synchronizes with SharePoint along with the rest of the workbook. There are a total of 63 items of that are under the category of "Requesting MTF/Unit" and a total of 25 items of that are under the category of "Event Type". Any input on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.  Here are some screen caps that I think will give some insight as to what I'm working on. . .

Help! ...I cannot locate how to switch the default edit form of a sharepoint 2010 list to a new Nintex form for that list. (Curiously enough, the Nintex form previously created on the same list in QA seems to be automatically designated as the default edit form. The same does not seem true in production.) It seems a new Nintex form can be created OK in production - but it does not replace the current default Edit page (for that list in production). Is there a way to do this?

I was wondering if someone could please help me.I would like to dynamically create a excel workbook and place some of the data from a SharePoint 2010 InfoPath form into a excel workbook.I have managed to get Nintex to create the workbook by using the excel service method 'openworkbookForEditing' which opens an excel workbook already in SharePoint with session id 'sessionid'.  I then use the excel service method 'setcell' for the same sessionid, Sheet1. row 5, column 5, value "test". I then use 'saveworkbookcopy' and copy sessionid to the same location in SharePoint, but with a different name. I then use the 'closeWorkbook' for sessionid.  The newly created workbook appears, but there is not value in the required cell in either workbook.Any advice would be gratefully received.Thank you kindlySam

Hi! I'm trying to get item level permissions of a SharePoint 2013 list using a Nintex workflow. The information I found suggested doing using the REST api in a Web Request action: Web URL/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('TheList')/getItemById(1)/roleassignmentsI stored the results in a text variable and sent myself an email notification.The output is a large series of numbers and letters like a correlation ID: 00439d4b-c6a3-470c-9b9d-f32d30136609 I have seen suggestions to then use the query xml action to get something readable but I have no idea how to configure it properly in this scenario.  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Hello, short: Schedueled Flows does not start automatically and following Flows are not triggered after adding additional server to farm. We have SharePoint 2016 (CU Apr 2018, kb4018336) On-Premises (Windows Server 2012 R2) and Nintex Flows/Forms 4.3.1.1.Before i changed the configuration/topology we had not have any problems. I added a new server (Windows Server 2016). I used the SharePoint MinRoles. The old server was configured "Front-end with Distributed Cache" and the new server "Application and Search". After that, scheduled flows and triggered/following flows doesn't work any longer.At the end, after some configuration changes, only the search service was running on the new server but that doesn't change anything. Now we are back to single server farm, but the problem still exists. For all help thanks in advanceBest RegardsMaik

Is it possible to integrate a third party BRMS (business rules management system) like InRule in Nintex workflows? I am looking around the ways to have seperation between the business rules and workflows.

Does anyone know if it's possible to limit the time range to, say 7am- 7pm, in a date/time picker?
