I am building a nintex workflow state machine and I have noticed that it can takes 3-5 minutes for it to the change state. The workflow completes successfully but is there anyway to speed the change state?

HiI am currently converting our various InfoPath forms to Nintex Forms, however I have an issue with the lookup() function.I can use the function fine to return values based on a list in the same site, but I have lists I reference in different sites in our site collection which is where I am struggling.I have tried putting the list's full URL in double quotes, its URL from the web application, referencing it as a variable as both full URL and from web applications but I cannot seem to get this to work at all.It is probably something simple, I have googled around but I can only references  to lookup("yourlist","yourcolumn",namedcontrol,returnvalue) and these lists on the examples are always within the same siteAny help appreciatedGed

Hello from FranceMy environnement : SharePoint 2013 Standard On Premise with Nintex Forms & WorkFlow 2013.My question :I try to use a picture control to display a logo company in a Nintex Form.The src attribute for this picture is something like "http://monsharepoint/picture/<Company>.jpg"where <Company> is a variable.I have a field name "Company" in my Form where the user can input the company name.I want to set the src attribute for my picture control to display the correct logo company when the user input n new company name.I can't affect a javascript id to the picture control. So I don't know how to access the src attribute to update it when the text field with the company name change.Can someone help me to display and update a picture on a Nintex Form with the ability to update the displayed image when an event on a textbox or a combo box can change the src attribute for this picture control ?Thank you.

I'm newer to Nintex and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the functionality.I am creating a basic ticket.So far the ticket has 3 input fields. Title, Description and Attachments.Once the ticket is opened, it goes into a flexi task, which the Approve or Reject options. I want to add an option where I can comment, and save, so that I can come back later. I'm not entirely sure how to do this. I tried entering another outcome in the flexi task, but that automatically ends the workflow.

I have created several new Nintex Forms for existing lists that previously used InfoPath forms.Many fields were using data connections in InfoPath to populate single line of text fields with lookup values. I created lookup selectors in the form to replace these data connections and pointed them to a new view in the data source list specifically for the lookup selectors. However, the lookup selectors never populate with the existing value in their connected fields. So we have thousands of records created with the InfoPath forms that now show blank fields in the new Nintex Form even though their fields are populated. Lookup selector control has no default value option, so I can't even set it to the value of the connected field. How can I make all the blank lookup selectors display the value in the connected field without having to go through each and every record manually and reselect the missing form values?

On a form, I'm trying to display a user's "PreferredName" and "WorkEmail" using the userProfileLookup() function, and for some users it returns nothing (blank) but for others it works. If I create a custom list with a Person column that is set to display the name or work email, these properties are shown correctly for those users that result in a blank via the userProfileLookup() on the form. This suggests to me that the AD information is correct, so can anyone suggest why the function might only work for some users and not others?

I am trying to query a list, obtain information from the list and output it into the notification. Basically sending a reminder email of upcoming items to be expired.  I have done this before successfully but this time during the for each action it will only process 2 Collection operations then fail. Fields:Title/Name: Single line of textOwner: PersonManager: PersonEffective Date: Date/TimeNext Reveiw Date: Date/Time  I have attached the workflow for reference as well as an example of the format the email comes out as. Everything is working without the foreach so I know it is something there, I just cannot put my finger on it. 

Using Nintex Workflow, I set up a Request Approval action and using Nintex Forms I created a form for this action. However, it seems that even selecting to reject the workflow approves it. Does anyone know what likely causes this?Thanks in advance!

Recently I have faced a lot of Nintex running workflows are locked On-Prem SharePoint 2016. Is there anyone facing the same issue at the moment. Is it issue because of the "After installing .NET security patches to address CVE-2018-8421, SharePoint workflows stop working (KB 4457916/4457035 and others)". Please advise.

On one of our environments, all workflows upon entering into flexi task, get stuck in limbo - initial flexi task email is being sent, but no reminders are being sent and It' does not react to compleating a task that it created for given users. I've not found any errors in logs, reseting sharepoint timers are reactivating features did not work. Any ideas?

I have one master list (Say Master List) in a central location where guidelines are stored in list format for different project combinations. There are multiple guidelines for a particular combination (50+).We have individual guideline list (Say Project List) for each project as well.The requirement is that user be able to select multiple guidelines from a multi-select list and new records get created in the Project List according to the user selection.We have current functionality where user can select just one guideline to add. Data for that particular item is fetched and saved in that record. Is there any way where I can create multiple records if user selects multiple guidelines from the list. (Multi-select list gets dynamically auto-populate don form load).

Dear All,I'm struggling for few hours and I cant make it work:Here's how my WCF interface looks like:[OperationContract][WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/UpdateUserProfileProperties", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, Method = "POST")]boolUpdateUserProfileProperties(Core.Entities.UserProfile userProfileData);And here's how the WEb Request action looks like:I'm debugging WCF using Service Trace Viewer but no matter how I change the body, it still does not work.Whats' the proper way to communicate with JSON WCF webservices ?Is there any specific way of creating the json body ? or maybe my headers are wrong ?

I'm working with SharePoint 2010 and Nintex Workflow 2010.When using the Set Field Value action, I have it successfully updating a field with the new value which shows up in my columns in the library.  However, the form itself does not get the new value.  Am I missing an action that actually changes the form?I tried to chain "Set Field Value" followed by "Update Item", but this did not set the form field value.  What am I missing here.  If this is to vague, please let me know and I will gladly add more info if needed.

Hi,My question is about performance on using Query List and Collection Operation. I have a site workflow with a 5 branches parallel action. Each branch starts with a Query List which returns a collection of IDs, DueDates, Owners, and CTs. Then I have a for each loop that goes through the IDs collection, based on the Index the workflow does collection operations to get CT, Owner, and DueDate. I would like to know in term of performance isn't better to just get the IDs  and then in the for each loop I add another query list to get Owner, DueDate, and CT based on the ID? Which one has the better performance? First Scenario Second Scenario: 

I have mail-enabled a library and I've made the PowerShell changes to my Sharepoint 2019 on-premise server. When I start my workflow manually, it completes fine. However, when I start it when an item is created from the incoming email, I get, "Failed to start workflow. Failed to open a connection to the Nintex Workflow configuration database". I have verified that the app pool identity has the WSS_Content_Application_Pools user mapping on the Nintex database in SQL Server. I've restarted the server and the workflow is still giving me this error. What else can I check?

I have a workflow where the reviewers are chosen at the time the workflow starts. Here is how it happens:The user uploads a documentThe user edit properties where they fill out the due date and choose from up to six departments to review the document. Most of the workflow is fine, except how to pull those people checked into the workflow. I have a list on the site with two columns Department/ PersonWhen the user checks Department1, I need the workflow to know it's Department 1, go pull the person and then populate the workflow with the dynamic variable.  Any ideas?

I am able to create a Workflow for connecting SharePoint to a Database. But by trying to Test the Connection it‘s Not working. I am always getting the same fault description that says that I need a Oracle Client Software of 8.7.1 of greater. But I‘ve checked my Client Software and it is 12.1.0.2. And if a collegue of Mine is doing the same his Connection is working, but he has the same rights as I have. Do you have a Solution for my Problem? I think Maybe I just have to Change some settings but I don‘t know which one.
