I am trying to install Nintex for SPS 2019. Where can I download the latest bits from?  

Greetings,I'm new nintex and trying to determine what happens when the like "[Update Database Version]" is clicked in the Database section of CA. I can find it's a process in upgrading nintex, but I don't know what happens. Our current prod env has this link, but our test env does not. Does clicking that link cause any type of downtime for nintex? Or require any type of resets? Does it do some type of schema update? Our test env is 4.0.6 and our prod env is 4.0.5. So I suspect the previous Sharepoint admin got as far as upgrading but not doing the clickity-click. I appreciate any assitance you can give me. Thanks, -Matt

Hi, I am trying to create list items in Sharepoint 2013 using a Excel Workbook. My plan was to follow this example, saving each column of my worksheet in a collection variable and create a new item list for each loop. Before going into details with my error, I would also like to know if it is possible to allow the user to choose an excel workbook they uploaded to a document library in an infopath form and save the workbook path to use in the Query Excel Services action?While I was configuring the very first Query Excel Service action I got multiple Status 401 Unauthorized errors. I was using my own windows username and password (since our site is a company site and all users have company laptops).Thing is, there are times where I can execute the action and I get my values but there are times where I just get the same 401 error. I am worried that if I continue working and launch the workflow the users will have the same fate, it working some times and then throwing errors. When I just w

I want to use a site workflow to create a discussion list once a month. I can use the "Create list" option for the site workflow and it allows me to chose a template to build the site from. However, i need the new list to have a workflow. The workflow is the same for every list that will be created. Is there a way to create a discussion list that has the nintex workflow attached and then save it as a template to be used by the site workflow monthly?

Hi  I hope I have posted this in the correct section. I am trying to get a submit button validation rult ot check if multiple OR conditions have been met AND a people picker called "Tech Manager" is empty. The goal is to make sure a name is populated when the conditions above are true. The people pickers "Tech Manager" is only one people picker amon 8 that each appear under different formatting rules. I tried:or(contains(BProjectCategory,"Project A"),or(contains(BProjectCategory,"ProjectB"),or(contains(BProjectCategory,"ProjectC"),and(Tech Manager Name==""))))I want to make sure the people picker for "Tech Manager Name(named control) is not empty. Using the above rule, the rule firses but when I doenter a name inot the people picker, the Submit action fails to fire (nothing happens on button click). Thanks in advance Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise 2.10.2.0

I have a drop down list in my form. In the workflow, I wanted to check if value selected in the dropdown = "selected value". I added the condition action, however the workflow is not allowing me to save giving me an exception error below. Error publishing workflow. Unable to cast object of type 'System.Activities.InArgument`1[System.String]' to type 'System.Activities.InArgument`1[Microsoft.Activities.DynamicValue]' So instead i tried to query list item for the drop down value and store it as a variable and do a variable (collection) comparison with the selected dropdown value which was set as a variable.Now i can save the workflow but the condition check doesn't work. Any advise would be good. This should be straightforward but I can’t seem to figure out.

Does anyone have a good thread on what the manage holidays feature does and how to incorporate it into a workflow? Do you use a pause so the workflow doesn't run on a designated holiday date? Thanks in advance!Josh‌

Hi,A while back I raised a question regarding the .NET security update that stopped workflows running. We've recently released some updates on our SharePoint 2010 farm and this security update was included automatically.We were able to remove and restart the servers which seemed to fix the issue - all workflows appeared to be runnning again.However, since then I've had some strange intermittent issues that I cannot rectify:1. Initially, when trying to open a nintex workflow I recieved this error (this has since stopped happening)2. The same workflow is now failing on start, every new item that is created does this regardless of the initiator. Strangely, this is only affecting this workflow - I have tested three others in seperate lists & sites that work fine.The workflow only has 4 or 5 actions in it, it pauses for 1 minute, then updates a column based on whether another is empty or not. The list isnt huge either only a couple hundred items so im unsure what the cause is. Also wort

HiI have a workflow which I have configured "Start when items are created = yes" and "Start when items are modified = yes". I've added a filter at the beginning which tells the workflow to only continue if a field 'Submitted' value = 1. This gets reset to zero at the end of the workflow to prevent it from re-triggering.I have discovered that if I make a change to the workflow (e.g. changed an Edit task form) and then republish the workflow, it seems to trigger a new workflow instance on items on which there is a currently running workflow. I don't want this to occur.This is a link to a screenshot of my workflow.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hi everyoneI'm currently working on a project where I need to be able to input data (a serial number) by scanning a QR code with a smartphone.On my form, I've added a single line textfield control and enabled the "Barcode scanning" property. I've published both a desktop and smart phone layout with this field.Now, when I open this form from the list on my smartphone and tap the field, I should be able to use my camera to scan a barcode or QR code, but instead, only my keyboard opens. If I type in a value and submit the form, the data is stored in the Sharepoint list, so the connection is ok.Due to company policy I cannot use the Nintex mobile or Sharepoint app to open the site at the moment. We have a company app that logs us in and redirects us to Sharepoint in the mobile brwoser (Chrome in my case)Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem here? We have Sharepoint 2013 on premise with Nintex forms 2013 v2.11.0.10

I am new to building workflows and know what i want to do but only guessing I am on the right path, so please explain if there is another way to do what i need without coding (because I have no coding skills and cannot import code I don't understand into a corporate environment)I am using the framework of a State Machine to collect data from a relationship manager, move it on to a sales specialist to add qualifying information then on to processing teams with a reject/amend alternative at each stage. To start I have assigned a flex-task to a workflow and built a form with a Choice Control in the Flexi-Task.The Choice Control is linked to a variable to store the outcome which I anticipate will be used for a Switch function that determines which Product branch the process will take. I need to collect data on a form, but don't need the same person to approve it - just take the data/results from the relationship manager and move to the next workflow step where that person will either rejec

I am working with a Nintex Form in SP 2013. I have a field which in SharePoint the column is set for numbers and I have it restricted to 9 or 10 digits. This is set as a required field, numbers can be duplicated. When the form is published I get an error on this one field. I can't seem to figure out why.

"Pause for" is not working along with Runif, without Runif Pause for is working fine.

HelloWe have not been able to master the looping action. In all instances we've tried, it will run through the first loop and then error out. Here is my scenario.During the run of the workflow, users manually update the Order status in the list. I have the loop start if the order status = "Repair in progress". Within the loop we are checking a date filed and checking if the calculated date is less than today's date. If so then send an email notification. If not then it will loop back until either the status has changed or until the date is less. As mentioned the workflow goes through the first loop but then errors without any explanation as to why. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. We have already tried switching off safe looping, increasing the pause to 15 minutes (in real world it will be set to 1 day), and adding the Commit pending changes to the end of the loop.Screenshots below

Hi folks,We are running Nintex Forms with the Print to PDF feature on a 2013 farm. I've got a custom form with lots of metadata, but unfortunately, when I use the Print to PDF button, the printed form is jumbled and unusable... the formatting is all over the place.  I've tried adjusting the print size A4 -> letter -> legal, and changing the orientation, without any visible changes to the printed PDF. I'm fairly new to Nintex, so am I missing something obvious here with my form design? I've attached a screen capture of the partial form and another capture of the PDF.Thanks in advance for your help.Form:PDF output:

Can anyone think of any reason why my Read Document Action workflow only works on content controls located in the header of my Word document? All of the content controls that are located in the body of the document return blank values. The Update Document action works on all content controls in the body and in the header of the same Word document.The Word document was created in a Document Library via a template I created with multiple content controls. I have tried using a docx and a dotx file for the Document Library template, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I am using Sharepoint 2013 on premises with MS Word 2016.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have spent way too many hours trying to troubleshoot this issue. Koranne

Basically these controls are to assists with importing and exporting between SmartObject data and Excel files .

Hello Folks,I've created a quiz with a point system which return a value and then a email is sent to the initiator with the total points. I need to restrict the number of times the user can submit the anwers to 1 or 2 tries etc. How do i go about doing this?

Hello,I made a test site with NINTEX form, it includes prople picker.When I save new item, it takes around 1min 45sec, or sometimes fails as time-out.When I try with SharePoint default form and name picker, it works correct....Would you give me your kindly help for solve the trouble?

So when we click on an item in SharePoint (onprem) the item comes up fine but when going to the 'workflows' link it fails saying that it can't find a column 'Approval3' on the list that the workflow was running on.The 'workflow link' referred to is in the ribbon:If you go to 'Manage Workflow Inventory' you'll see a list of all workflows on your site. At the far right there is a delete action. It was from here that the workflow was deleted. Clicking on the workflow link throws an error which is recorded in the ULS logs:System.ArgumentException: Column 'Approval3' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.Approval3 is not a column that was created by a user. I think it is a workflow status column that gets created when a workflow is either published or is executed for the first time. When the workflow was deleted it apparently removed this column.Any ideas how to resolve this situation?

HiI am hoping someone can help.

I need to be able to create a workflow that evaluates the create date/time to determine if it was created between 10 am and 2 pm today, to take some action on records created during this period. The times are fixed, but the date, of course, needs to be variable.  How can I use date/time in a condition to check this?

Heres the situation:I have a legacy process that is in another K2 project already deployed on the server. I want to call this process within my new K2 project workflows as an IPC. No cando, the only way I see this as possible is to redeploy the process using the create smart object methods for it which I do not want to do.What I want to do is just use server code event and launch it because it's easier and I do not need to call it as synchronous, ust fire and forget but I cannot find anyhting in the API that will let me do that without adding the WorkflowClient.DLL into the project which I also do not want to do.Am I missing an easy API way to create a workflow process from within a server event without adding any workflow smart objects or adding client dlls?Thanks
