I have a workflow on a SP 2013 list that uses flexi-tasks, and of course has an associated Workflow Tasks list.  When an item is assigned to someone via flexi-task, the assignment (item) in the Workflow Tasks shows the name of the INDIVIDUAL to whom it's assigned.  Sometimes it shows the name of the GROUP to whom it's assigned.     If I were to create a new (choice) column in the Workflow Tasks list, is there a way to use this column to show where we are in the workflow, or the state it's in, in addition to the item showing the individual to whom it's assigned?

I have Nintex for SharePoint 2013 on-premise. I updated the Nintex form with new fields, removed some fields, and altered the layout. However, the approver page shows the old fields and old layout. In the Nintex workflow, I have some Flexi-Tasks that send out Task Notifications to approve or reject; and the approvers are seeing the old fields. If I want to manually change every form in the Flexi Task, "Edit Task Form," then that is a time consuming project.  Is there a fast way to get the approver page to match the new form?

Hello! I’m new to Nintex, I have a task that will go through (4) employees in order to be completed using State machine, and each has a comment box. Also, in some cases they will need to return the task to initiator to edit (or correct the data in the form). My question is how can I keep the comments for each one and make it available for other to see. For example: manager 1 approve the task and write a comment, the task go to manager 2, he should be able to see manger 1 comment and also be able to comment. Manager 3 can see pervious managers comments and so on.   I hope that you understand my question.   Thanks in advance.

We encountered a strange issue, We are using assign flexi task in our SP2013 Workflow, where task is created perfectly but emails are not triggering to the respective assignees intermittently. Please help us with the solution. We are encountering this issue with only this workflow so we are not suspecting this would be a SMTP server issue. 'From' field is not configured in any assign flexi task and 'To' variables are properly configured.We have already checked the junk mailbox , no respective task emails are received. Your solution would be much appreciated. 

I've created a formula within the Title control/field that pulls through details from another field along with the current date and time. However, as the other field isn't populated on form load the detail is not added.  How do I get it to re-calculate and add this detail to the Title field? This is what i've added to the default value of the Title control: Project_Name - Current Date Current Time When i preview the form, it just displays the Current Date and Time, but doesn't change when the Project Name field is populated.

How can i insert references into a notification according to several scenarios from a sharepoint list, for example an user can select many options from a form and i need to add into a notification only the selected options by the user in the body message. If an user select a checkbox, into the notification should be show a static text side by side dynamic text. I attached an image as example.   There are information dynamic and not dynamic. All Column Section is not dynamic and Column Requirement has both options (Dynamic and not dynamic). Many Thanks for the support.  

Afternoon. I have a workflow with a Request Review action using a Nintex form. How would I send the completed form to a user? If I drop in the Context Item URL it links to the default form which I use early on in the workflow. All help appreciated.   Thanks    

I am trying to run Oracle Stored Procedure and getting error. can anyone help me out on this. please find below screenshot for more information. connection is working okay but while I run query getting error.

Is is possible to have the path for a server storage share appears as a link - and then when clicked by the user, that folder would open in file explorer - if the user had access ?   I'm assuming the truly best way would be to create a document library in SharePoint, but many of my files would not be SP "compatible" so really need to remain on the server share.   \myserverpathfoldersubfolder  

Hi everyone I have created a repeated section which has a drop down section. The issue I have is when I select the option and save the form I cant see my selection under the right column in SharePoint page. If I dont have the repeating section everything is fine.

Hello All,   I am very new to Nintex (and SharePoint for that matter). I have a form that a user would fill out for a travel request. However there are 60+ fields the user can add data to, such as Airline, rental car, hotel stays and many many more...   My question is: Once the request has been made and an approver has requested the user to update some field for whatever reason, how can I use the workflow to detect that the user has actually made a change to any one of the fields of the form, not just editing the form and clicking save to update the modified date.   Thank you

Hello everyone,I have a repeating section (titled: "Task Notify") in my Nintex New Responsive form, connected to a Multiple Line of text Column (Plain Text) in SharePoint List. The Repeating Section has filed, 1) What (Text -Long) ? - The user enters the task details. 2) Who (People Picker) ? - To assign the responsible person to complete the Task mentioned in "What?"3) When? (Date) - Date field for the due date of the task.4) Status (Choice - Single) - To select the task status depending upon wheter it is completed or not. How should I notify the responsible people ("Who?") regarding their tasks?I have used Query XML in the Nintex workflow to extract the email address, but the output of Query XML is ["-1;#i:0#.f|membership|akasar01@xyz.com","-1;#i:0#.f|membership|ambapp01@xyz.com"]How do i get only the email address and use further in them in the workflow. Can you please help me building this workflow?Looking forward for your support and many thanks in advance.Kind regards,Akash.

Hello All, I am working on SharePoint 2016 and i have a requirement to import data from a CSV file to SharePoint list using Nintex Workflow. I am looking for nintex workflow because i want to schedule the workflow for inserting of records. But the problem i see is that, some of the records looks to be in an unstructured format as below   "Name","Place","Description", "Age" -> these are the headers "Rahul","India","He is an IT guy",23 "Indira","China","She is a gardener",56 "Frank","Russia","He is an engineer. He has 3 kids.    He is interested to travel",68 "Jersy","US","She plays with puppy",13 If we look at above contents, the 3rd item description is spread across multiple lines. There are many records like that. After reading from csv file, I am unable to split as proper row items due to this lengthy description with empty spaces and new lines using regular expression action in the NW. Can anyone please help how to handle such csv file to insert data to SharePoint list using nint

Hello,  I have few choice controls about 20 or more with Yes , No options . Based on a selection I want to filter these and display the appropriate ones in a panel. This means panel need to be resized based on how many controls are resized?. I am using classic forms.    Any ideas /examples please.    Thank you @R

Hi all!   I have a Nintex form that pulls information from multiple different list. There are a couple of drop-downs that are list lookups on this form and I've noticed that for some of them (the ones with a filter), the drop-down list limits my choices to just 30 options. This is odd to me since the ones without filters have no such restriction.   For example: if I have a drop down of people who graduated in a database of personnel, it will only show the first 30 people in the alphabet, whereas if I have a drop down of people (with no filter), it will display everyone no problem.   Does anyone have this issue and if so, how can I fix this? Thank you for your help!

I am trying to archive all items in a list with the status of "Complete".  I have included my work flow and config for the "For Each" and "Copy Item" parts.  Created a list level workflow and a site level work flow with the exact same configs, however neither will copy items.   The list level will copy an item.  It copies the exact same item each time no matter which item I run the workflow on.    Seems like this should be fairly simple.

All, I have exhausted google trying to find an answer/solution; here is my situation and what I am trying to accomplish: We have an on-prem sharepoint 2019 server with nintex workflows and forms.  The company has a wellness program that requires employees attend 3 wellness events each year.  HR needs to be able to create qualifying wellness events, which they would like to display on the wellness page, and users should be able to register for the event.  The HR department has been tracking attendance manually, but would like to try to automate this process.  Does anyone know of any good tutorials for creating a custom solution for this, I know there are 3rd party solutions out there, but would love to avoid those if possible.  Also, I would like to use modern site experience if at all possible.   I know @eharris04 did something similar a few years ago (https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Sample-Training-Calendar-and-Registration-Workflow-on-SP2010/m-p/84816), but I am

We run a workflow through nintex and sharepoint and it appears that we had to hit save on every form in the SOP library. We are trying to detect where the error is from and how it could be fixed. An example is attached, 

I have encountered an error with Sharepoint 2016 and Nintex which is very similar to this old issue: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Nintex-forms-is-throwing-error-quot-The-attempted-operation-is/td-p/41760   We have a library with over 5000 items, and while I have all the views setup to filter and function with large lists - the Nintex form itself is still broken. I can view the our list, no problem, I can open up a document set, no problem, and I can even click "Edit Properties" which opens up our Custom Nintex form, no problem.   However, when I click "Save" on the Custom Nintex form it throws the error of: The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator.   I don't know why clicking save on the form itself seems to be hitting the errors associated with the 5000 item limit. Anyone have any ideas? I am trying to see if there is some javascript that I could employ to save the form, without triggering s

Hi, I have hopefully an easy question...    I have a very simple Sharepoint list that has a 'Deliverables' column, where the user can select a choice from a dropdown list. I want to count how many of each choices there are and send the total of each Deliverable to another Sharepoint List.   Is this possible, and if not is there another way to do this?

HiStill a bit new to Ninetx. What I'm trying to do is to use the Query list action. I'm finding the list and the field, but when I click save it's saying that the Output has not been configured?

When I try to assign a user to a people picker by JavaScript, I get above error. This error occurs only in IE 11 (11.1198.18362.0) The code is working in IE 11 (11.1139.18362.0CO) as in all other Browsers.   NWF$(function () { var user = 'john.doe@world.com'; var ctl = new NF.PeoplePickerApi('#' + timeOfficer); if(ctl) { ctl.search(user).done(function (data) { ctl.add(data[0]); }); } });   From ctl.add(data[0]) the code goes to the add funtion from the Nintex JavaScriptStringHandler _layouts/15/NintexForms/JavaScriptStringHandler.ashx?resourceType=jsfile&fileName=NF.PeoplePickerHelper.js&culture=de-DE   getData will then return undefined and the error message will be logged to the console.     So, it seems that something is not supported in the data extension of jquery, used by Nintex. What I have seen so far, is that it has to do with the caching mechanism they use.   here thisCache["uiItempicker"] returns null, while the object can be found in other

Afternoon   I have a workflow that I want to loop through a list every day, store start dates, then later in the flow fire off alerts if today's date is one month, three months, or six months on from that initial start date.   I've set up a flow which adds the required dates to a 'Today's Date' variable, then runs and alert if the start dates equals the variable. That works fine, it's the scheduled For Each and Collection Operation I'm struggling with.Here's how I've configured the 'For Each':   and here's the Collection Operation: I'm getting 'Error operating on collection variable. Index property is greater than the number of items in the collection.' when the flow hits the Collection Operation. What's the best way to proceed? All help appreciated!    

I have a form with 3 different tabs ,formatting and validation rules. I'm having issues with the following section. I need to hide the whole Panel if Tab does not equal Assignee, I tried formatting rule on Panel B and Panel C however  the formatting is messed up when opening the form.

Any help is appreciated   -Panel A has a  formatting rule to hide if choice control equals N/A -Each choice control has validation rule is null or empty. -Each attachment calls a js to validate if choice=Yes it should have at least one attachment      

Hello Everyone!   I'm working to try and build a "Digest List" as a part of a process we are trying to improve.  We have a directory of SharePoint Sites in our environment and each site has two contacts associated with it (Let's call them Contact 1 and Contact 2).  A person can be the contact for multiple sites.   Every year we have users validate their sites are still needed.  I want to query through our directory of sites where the site is not validated.  I want to build out an email so I send one email to a contact with all of their sites that aren't validated (instead of them getting multiple emails they receive just one).   Initially I tried just creating items in a list with a contact column and a site id column.  I queried my directory list to get all unvalidated sites.  I check my digest list to see if the contact exist, if it doesn't I create an entry for them, if they do exist I just append the site id to the site id column in the digest list.   However, the items get created
