Hello Everyone, I currently have a workflow that queries a list, sets multiple variables then sends an e-mail summary (build string) to the individuals with their specific items on the list. I would like to instead send each person a summary with only THIER items on it. I have tried (after setting all of the variables) to query only the persons items and building the table within a loop, then closing each table outside of the loop and sending individual notifications. The result here is that each person only gets ONE of their items in the e-mail. I have also built another version of the workflow where it queries that persons items first, sets the variables, builds and send the summary then repeats it all for the next person  (which works fine - but makes for a very long workflow). Is there any way to basically have all items in one summary then split the summary up by those who the items belong to instead of having to repeat all of the actions (basically running the workflow once for e

I have a list that I want to run a workflow that checks each item in the list and based on an expiry date column, sends out a notification from an address in an email column from the item.  Basically I want the workfow to loop through the list checking each item's expiry date. I've read that the only way I can do this is to create a "Site Workflow".  Can someone tell me how to create a site workflow and have it check each item in a list?  I have lots of experience with regular workflows that run on a particular item. ThanksAndy

I'm currently running a workflow that calculates a date and then queries a calendar list for anything that matches the calculated date and the start time of an event. If an event matches it gathers all of the info from that event and then sends a due date email. The problem I'm running into is if an event is all day it recognizes that event as the previous day instead of the day I'm querying for. Example: Looking for events with a start date 10 days from current date but if it's an all day event it doesn't find it because it regesters the start time as the previous day. Is there a way to format my list item start time value to just a date instead of including the time? 

I am setting a link field in a workflow, but I would like to set the text of a link field to the Title field value. I don't see an option to separate out the link and text parts of the field, and it sets both to the URL I specify. Help!

I have a List Lookup control in my nintex form with multiple select option. When the items are selected I only want to get the IDs portion of the result (14;#Value1;#15;#Value 2......) and save them in a collection variable in Nintex Workflow to proeceed. I think I can do that with a regulare expression. Everything I already tried unfortunately failed. Now I'm looking for a regEx Expert ;-)

Hello, Since three days we have exactly the same problem on two different SharePoint 2016 Farms that are joined in the same domain. One of them is used as a production and the other farm is used as a test system. Both of these windows-services won't start anymore:•Nintex Connector Workflow Queue Service•Nintex Workflow Start Service With the information in the Event-Log I wasn't able to find out more details. But it seems that one of the services need access to the SharePoint Config Database. So in my understandig, there is maybe a problem with the permission beacause both Services are running under the Local System. Windows Event-Log entries:SQL database login for 'SP16_T_Config' on instance '******' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.　Login failed for user '****SEVERNAME$'. The Nintex Connector Workflow Queue Service service terminated with the following error:Incorrect function. Version: Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2016 - International (4.3.2.0) U

Hi guys, I am having a Nintex forms formatting 'issue' and was wondering whether someone already has a workaround. Very simple actually, it's about how Nintex Forms formats a choice control in case the text is too long to go on one line. Example of what it does and what I would like it to do:Any awesome ideas? I am using Nintex Forms 2013 On Prem, most recent release (2.5.0.0). Glenda

I am trying to create a form for some basic content creators to post news items to our Intranet. We have an image library which has a preconfigured set of icons/logos to reflect what the content of the particular item relates to. In order for the creator to post an announcement, they need an image URL. To go and fetch this component is unintuitive for those who are less than tech savvy. I simply want them to be able to select an image from a dropdown menu, display what it looks like and populate the URL with said image. I can only get so far as fetching the URL but cannot find any way to display what the image looks like.Firstly, can I just get off my chest that what I'm trying to achieve should NOT be overly complicated or unavailable as a feature. We live in a digital world, people like imagery, colours and niceties. I simply want to display an image on a form based on a list lookup dropdown selection. Select thing from dropdown - display the image that this dropdown is linked to. Th

I am running the latest version o Nintex Forms on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and can't get the validation rule on a form to work. It worked first time, but every attempt to test in the preview fails to use the validation. I am using IE11 for testing as that is the target browser for our users.I have added a rule on a drop down control and told it to look at the values in two drop-down controls and see if they are equal.the rule as I have written it is:Control is invalid if:BusinessUnit=="A"&&FundingType=="B"Then show a message that says that the choice for Funding Type should be "A".This worked once and the failed to function every time after.I created another formatting rule to hide a panel based on a choice and that works fine.Does anyone have any experience of what could prevent validation rules from working? This is driving me nuts as I am sure the rule is written correctly when it worked the first time. I have also tested it in Firefox with the same result.Appreciate any h

Since migration to SharePoint 2016 I've noticed that some list don't display Nintex WF options unless I'm on a personal view of the list. Screenshots below. 

Can you get at the values stored in the Common values in Nintex forms (for Office 365) from JavaScript?For instance, how could I get at the value in {Common:CurrentUserDisplayName} from JavaScript code running in the form?Chris

Hello everyone, could you please explain the behavior below?There are two simple workflows:Parent Site Workflow - it starts another workflow "Child Site Workflow" via activity "Call web service".Child Site Workflow - it logs in history the value of variable "TestDefaultValueOfVariable". This variable has a default value.The expected result is default value in history, but it is empty!But if "Child Site Workflow" is started manually or via activity "Start workflow" then default value of variable is present in history.It is unexpected for me and looks like a bug.Thank you in advance for your answers.

Is there any REST api available for publishing Nintex forms in SharePoint onpremise.I am seeing only for 365 version. {endpointURL}/api/v1/forms/{listId}/publish

I have a requirement to get a list of User Defined Actions (UDA) across a web application. Is this feasible if yes can someone share the PowerShell script for the same.Thanks

Hey all! So I've been looking for a way to create a search field in Nintex forms that looks up values from another list where they contain the text entered into a text box. Today I came across this fantastic post which brilliantly solves my issue!!Nintex Form search field I still have one small problem, I'm no good at JavaScript... but I'm learning! So all works perfectly as long as the lookup is on the source list's Title field but the moment I change the JavaScript to reference a different field it just loads without returning anything, I'm obviously doing something wrong but not sure what. This is the Custom JavaScript used, instead of Title I'd like to return the values in the BMC_Description column: NWF$(document).ready(function() { //The source data for the autocomplete is the GL Material Groups list //Store the titles in a array variable var itemsReturnedVar = []; NWF$().SPServices({ operation: "GetListItems", async: false, listName: "GL Material Groups", CAMLViewFields:

Hi,I created a form with a repeating section in it, so far nothing difficult.After that I created a workflow to show these data into a table (column multiple line of text) which is working perfectly.A second workflow created where I used the action Update Document.This will create a DOCX file (using content controls), all is working fine with the data except for the data filled in the repeating section.Anyone ideas how to solve this?The DOCX template should show all line filled in in the repeating section.

Hello, I've worked with Nintex Workflows 2010 with InfoPath, but am now on Nintext Workflow 2013 and working with Nintex Forms 2013. I have a situation where my customer wants to flag a customer for a follow up. If flagged yes, they want to set a follow up date in the future. They then want to be able to select users that a notification email is sent to, this could be one user or multiple. When the follow up date arrives, they want that email to be sent.I am not sure how to do this with Nintex Workflows.1. Collate either 1 or more user emails (pre-determined from a selectable list, but number of users will vary.)2. Set up the workflow to trigger and send the notification email on the follow up date which could be days, weeks or months to the future of the entry being first inputted.Thanks in advance.

I was requested to implement the following business process using Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflow.Data is collected (Using Nintex Forms) and stored in a custom list.As long as the requestor or the person who has created the "form" (data) hasn't confirmed his inputs it stays in a draft status.(No one can see the form/data) (State is draft with minor versions)Once submitted a group of approvers all need to approve the form so it becomes the first major version and is visible for all users.(State is first major publication)In a later stage only the requestor can again make changes to the data which should not be visible for anyone before they are approved again. (State first major + drafts) The drafts are only visible for the requestor and approvers once submitted again by the requestor.After the process is again completed all users see major version 2.This is in fact the standard behavior of a SharePoint publishing approval process on a document library.Does anyone have an idea how to a

Is it possible to dynamically format HTML in a Send Notification (email) action for Nintex Workflow 2016 on-prem? I have successfully created HTML output.  The requirement I'm stuck on is to be able to change the font-color/background-color on inserted reference (field values) based on a condition.Example:If valueA != valueB, then add a CSS class to the <td> tag.  The CSS class would apply the appropriate styling.Embedding the CSS directly does not render correctly as it outputs the code into the email.  If I link to a CSS file within the HTML, nothing happens.  I also have a link to a jquery library, and then have a small script to run to insert the class on the td.  Everything works well when testing with Visual Studio.I have tried to insert the HTML directly in the Send Notification (Edit Source) and I have also tried to use the Build String and then insert the variable in the Notification instead. Script:<script> $(document).ready(function () { $('tbody tr td:not(":firs

This seems like an obvious one but as yet I've not found the answer. I have a List Lookup control, when an item is selected I want to get the ID portion of the result (14;#Some Text). ParseLookup allows me access to the value, but what about the ID. I can't use substring as the ID length will vary as time goes on. Seems like it should be an easy on this!TIA

Assign flexi task to multiple persons. if someone don't approve, I want to get which ones didn't approve , then Assign a new task to these persons when the initiator modified the item? 

Hi,I have a list where I have a look up field with allow multiple values. Now, I would like to get the IDs of this look up field  into a collection. My workflow is acting on the list where look up field is used. The reason I would like to achieve this is that, I would like to fetch other values of these look up field values (other columns I mean) and do some math on them and set the value in the current list to this sum.Please advise how to achieve this using Nintex workflow.Thanks in advance,

My Nintex Workflow has 4 branches with 4 tasks each. They are all To-Do tasks. I would like to let the system Create a New Content type for the tasks. But if I use "Create new" for the first one that I define, will that same Content Type be accessible to all other 15 tasks? Or do I let the system create 15 more Content Types for each individual task?I'm using this workflow as a checklist to ensure that certain things are done when a new software title is added to our library. There are no approvals or anything like that associated with the tasks. Just a "to do." I direct the Initiator to go do this or verify that. Some things are outside our SharePoint system.So essentially yes, all tasks would be of the same Content Type. Just a task to go do something.Right now it is a Site Workflow as the branches of the workflow apply to different SharePoint sites/pages. I don't really have a list that this could be used on.Before you ask, I don't think this workflow could be assigned to our softwa

Hi everyone,This is my first post to Nintex Community.  In the past I was able to get a lot of help and answers for what I needed to do but I did see anything for a problem I'm having.  I have a Enterprise Wiki site where internal people can go and collaborate.  I created a list in the site.  The idea is when people want to create a new page they will actually create a new item in the list (creating the item only requires the Title).  I've set up workflow against the list so that whenever a new item is created the workflow will create a wiki page automatically.  But I keep getting error message of "Failed to create item. Could not find the document template at '/_layouts/15/CreatePage.aspx' to create the item with".  Note: I am able to create a new wiki page manually so I thought the workflow would have no problem creating the page but I keep getting the error.  If anyone has any information I would appreciate some help.  Thank you.

I am designing a Training Form and within that form there is a section to add a list of group names to conduct the training.The names can be sourced from SharePoint User Profiles or an external Sharepoint List.I do not want to use the nintex People-Picker field as the loader just spins for about a minute then times out.So I am using a List-Lookup multi-select of people's names from an External List.What I need is a way to gather the email addresses from the people added to the Multi-Select in to a field so they can be emailed via a Workflow Email.I've managed to get the first chosen names' email via Lookup calculation, but subsequent emails do not append.As the result could be over 255 characters, the options I see are Multi-line text field or a multi-user People Picker.Any suggestions are welcome.
