 The scenario I am going to go over in this article is that you have 5 checkboxes and want to validate that 3 of them are checked before being able to save the form.   To do this, we will need to create a parameter to validate how many checkboxes are checked:    Once we have created the parameter ( I titled mine "3checked"), we need to create a custom expression to increment and decrement the parameter.     (The Decrement will be the same thing except with a minus sign)   Once we have the parameter and the expressions we need, then we can start configuring the rules. We will need to do this next set of rules for each of the check boxes.  We will be firing off this rule every time the checkbox is checked or unchecked.  If it's checked we will increment the counter, if not, we will decrement the counter.      Here's what the transfer data section looks like:      Once we have set up the rules for each of the checkboxes, we will then place an advanced condition on the "When Save Button is

Hi Folks,I have a workflow (2013 - On Prem) that queries a large list, and writes all records from the previous month to a CSV file then PUTs the file in a library via the Web Request PUT method. When testing with small record sets, everything works fine. The production use of this will write about 5000 records to the CSV.When looping (For Each Action) through the collection variables and writing each field value to the Build String action, the workflow fails part way the process. After about 5 minutes of looping, the process just stops with no explicit errors. the only error is "BackUp Easterner Status Records failed to start". Mind you, it has definitely started because verbose logging shows that it has progressed quite a way into the process. It is not failing on a particular record either. Some times it will write a few hundred records and sometimes it writes just over 100.Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be?Thanks and Best Regards,Patrick Kelligan

Happy New Year!!!So, long story short.. (maybe )LAY OF THE LANDWe have a form with a repeating section.In the repeating section there are four controls.The two of primary concern for this question are a single line textbox (overdraftAmount) control and a yes/no (managerApproved) control.The overdraftAmount textbox accepts a currency value, the managerApproved yes/no, hmmm, you know what that does When currency values are typed into the overdraftAmount textbox they are summed up in another textbox, totalOverdrafts. < no issues here. We have a second textbox totalOverdraftAmountApproved that needs to conditionally sum the values in the overdraftAmount textbox if the managerApproved yes/no control is checked, and vise versa when it is unchecked.Clear as mud?THE QUESTIONHow to conditionally sum up the values in a single line textbox when an associated checkbox is checked/unchecked.I'm including a screen capture that may assist us in our hunt for truth and knowledge

Hello,Im fairly new to nintex so i will try to make this as clear as possible.I have a library that sends any file put in it to another one (destination is in a list.).Everything is working fine. But i want to check if that destination actually exists before sending it.How do i check if a library exists within a different site?How do i even check if a library exists?Any help would be appreciated#NintexWorflow

So it's finally here and I've been having a play. On long forms a user can now save their progress without the form closing and them having to re open it.It works!A couple of things to note. If it's a new item and you use save and continue, it creates it as normal and any required fields will still be required.Workflows. If you have a workflow that updates the item on modify, you will get a save conflict warning. You can simply get around this by perhaps using conditional rules or have your workflow do nothing based on the input into a field.In the below example the Save your progress button isn't connected to anything, while the Approve and Reject items input Process or ProcessReject into a workflow field. When the workflow runs on modify, it'll do nothing if the save your progress button is pressed.So in a nutshell you may have to review your workflows before enabling this option.

I'm using SharePoint 2010 and Nintex workflow 2010. I have a workflow that I want to re-use each month.Each month i will create a list with this name format: [MonthName] [Year] Report. If I create a workflow that queries the current list (ex. December 2018 Report), I have to use the dropdown menu to select the list title. That means, if i try to import this workflow into another list, I'll have to first create the new list, and then change the list name in the drop down.Since i will know the name of all future lists, I want to cut this step out.Is there a way to query a list just by using the list URL? I would create a URL using variables that can change each month to point to the correct list.Any suggestions?

 Hello, I am new to K2 and i just been playing around with smart objects and smart forms. I was able to create a smart form that stores data in a Sharepoint List, however when i try to do the same but on a sql database i get the error below. If i run the SQL smart object created by the SmartObject Tester from the SmartObject Tester it work flawlessly, but when i try it from the smartform i get the error. Any Ideas what is causing this issue. Thanks K2 Smartforms Error------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.•Type: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectException•Source: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client•Method Base◦Member Type: Method◦Name: ExecuteScalar◦Module◾Scope Name: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.dll◦Declaring Type◾Full Name: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer

I know this is probably easy, but I'm having some poor brain function.I have a form that has two choice fields (among others). In choice field 1, there are two choices:FundedUnfundedIn choice field 2, there are three choices:Level 0Level 1Level 2I want to throw an error (on submit)  if (and only if) "Unfunded" is selected in combination with "Level 2".Help!

 Symptoms When a user uploads an image via the image attachment control and subsequently a pdf is made, the uploaded image is not rendered in the PDF. Diagnoses The issue here is the image used in the Image Attachment control does not get loaded into the form as the form is projected through webKit. This is expected as webKit is effectively opening the form in a private browser for the service account so that it can take a snapshot of it and as such we wouldn't expect data that is unsaved and came directly from the client machine to appear on the form. Resolution By setting the Converter Service to use SerializedResources the service uses the locally cached form (which contains the image) to build the PDF.That change can easily be done by editing the service instance within the SmartObject Service Tester. 

Hello everyone,this may be a minor issue but it took me some longer time to evaluate because I just was examining if we should use the newest version of Nintex or wait to upgrade until the next is released to avoid new bugs.The current installed version of Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2016 onPremise is international version 4.3.3.0.The issue I faced can be simulated in the following scenario: if you open the Nintex Forms Designer freshly on a list or library without any previously desigend form and you close it immediately (without saving or publishing), in earlier versions you returned to the list/library.Here, it returns you to a full-windowed dialog of the forms-type-selector. But after a lot of try-and-error and reverse-engineering of the Nintex-Code, it seems that this is a purely Internet Explorer problem. No problem with older versions of IE or Firefox.So here we have a newly created SiteCollection without any branding, custom masterpage or anything else. This is a document libra

HiWe have facing an intermittent workflow incomplete issue due to the reminder stop working at “Pause until” action.The workflows was work like this:Send notification to person A to take some action outside workflow and then manually update the workflow status to “Completed” via Nintex form button.Run parallelOn one side of the parallel run, send notification to creator, to inform their request has been submitted.On the other side, set the current Modified (datetime) value to a variable (variable A).Set a Loop action.Keep looping when status has not changed to “Completed”.Calculate the date, take the Modified (datetime) variable plus an hour and store in another variable (variable B).Set Pause until action, trigger when the current datetime match with “variable B”.Send notification to person A, to alert them to take some action and then update workflow status to “Completed” via Nintex form button.Set wait for item update. Trigger when status change to “Completed”.Set workflow status to

Despite all the configurable settings of a Flexi/Approval/Todo task, I keep experiencing (as others do going through the various posts) an unwanted behavior: depending of the outcomes received so far, other users may find themselves no longer needed/required to provide feedback. There are enough examples to mention where one needs the feedback from ALL assignees, and not partial when either a certain (e.g. majority approves) or unwanted (1 reject when all need to approve) outcome is reached.How can I achieve waiting for all assignees (with individual tasks) to respond without having to create a complex workflow (using loops and the standard tasks list)?PS: and I voted for a similar user voice on this topic.

I am doing a list query and using the filter within that action to narrow down my results. I am trying to filter out anything with a date that has not occurred yet. So I use the filter and select my date field I want to look at then I have tried to use but i don't get any results when I try using greater than or less than, but i do when I use equals or not equals. Are you not able to use greater than or less than with a Date Field? If so what is another way I can filter these to get all events that have happened in the past?  Gets no results

I created a workflow some time ago that ran as expected. The workflow creates tasks of content type 'Nintex Workflow Multi Outcome Task'.The workflow also created To do's. I remember that I changed the column order for some of the to do's.The problem is that now, the tasks that are created with a Flexi task, don't show the Approve/ Reject radio button anymore. Instead, those tasks look like a to do (start date, due date, % complete, ...).The old tasks that were used to approve also show the to do lay out. Like this:How can I revert the task form back to the way it was?

#I have a workflow where I need to get the comment part based on approved comment (that is, the last part of the ApproversCommets)

Goal: select the option collection of a SQL Request Control drop down menu, telling Nintex Forms to save the ID of the drop down menu into a JavaScript variableProblem: NWF$('#' + varSqlRequestCtrl + ' option') does not select the desired option collectionIssue: varSqlRequestCtrl is set to the ID of the <input> element rather than the <select> elementSolution: delete the "_hid" off the end of the variable valueQuestion: is there a way to do this better than deleting the last 4 characters of the control ID string?

I have a nintex form built for a share point list .Is it possible to change date(or other fields) on an item already completed and save as new item .Like people access an old item and retrofit into a new form by changing date (many of the fields in the from remain same)

HiI've got a field on a list called 'OS End of Date'. I have a loop on a workflow which stores the dates in a variable called 'Loop'. Then I have a calculate action which is taking the date and adding 6 months to it and storing it in a variable called '6 months looped'.What I need to happen is that if we're within 6 months of the 'OS End of Date' that it updates a filed called Status to 'Amber'. I've got a Set a condition action and an 'Update item'  action but it's not working. Any suggestions?

Hi I noticed that when I have new form in responsive design and need get total currency with sum() from amounts in repeated section. (I use here calculated values based on lookup drop down)It shows only first amount from repeating section.Maybe this is issue.Because If I do it in classic design it works fine.

I have a simple approval workflow with 5 approvers. The goal is to have the comments of each approver be written back to the original list. So there is a small workflow that is attached to the task list. This workflow runs when the task are created. When I submit a request, I immediately receive WF failure notifications from the Task List WF. I receive the following The Task List workflow fails at the Update Item section. If I disable it that part, I don't receive the error.Any help would be appreciated. Thank You. 

I am using a Multi line Text field (in sharepoint 2013 on-prem) to display the log/approval status audit log in my workflow. I have enabled the appending option in list settings so that the field will show all the approvals in the workflow run. The workflow on the list runs when a new item is created. I am using nintex form on the list.Issue: The Approval status is showing all the log details from all the different runs on the workflow. In the completed workflow's Approval status, I can see the details from current workflow item. It should show the Approval status details of the current item and not all the items of the list.I have used Multi line text as audit log field for my other workflows and it works just fine. Not sure what is different for this workflow. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
