Hi,We have various workflows created in SharePoint that sends an email to other users for approvals or information, sometimes we have issues when the workflow is suspended.We have no idea when a workflow has stopped until someone advises the item is still waiting for an approval.Is there a workflow that you can create that tells you when a workflow is suspended?Any suggestions?Thank youClairesuspended workflows

Hello everyoneI am extremely new to Nintex and haven't been able to find an answer to my question so I'm hoping you'll be able to help. I have a list in sharepoint where at the moment tasks are manually added. These tasks need to be completed at a certain frequency and have a specific due date too. The frequencies for the tasks could be daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. I want the workflow to run daily and to create new items copying over the information from the previous items in the list, including an up to date due date. So far I've worked out how to create new items with updated due dates.  What I need help with is adding in a pause/temp stop so that new items won't constantly be created each day when the workflow runs. Does anybody have an ideas on what I could do?I'm happy to explain further if you need any more details. Thanks in advance for reading and any ideasSian 

I built an approval workflow. It happens that an approver edits a lot auf task within one orr 2 minutes.In this case the workflow errors with an unknown error:"Das Element konnte vom Workflow nicht aktualisiert werden, möglicherweise weil mindestens eine Spalte des Elements einen anderen Informationstyp erfordert."If I stop this WF and start it again withour any changes it works problem-free.I hope you understand, what I try to say and someone can help me

Hi,  I have been trying to get the following to work with no success.I am trying to make the Hyperlink field a required field based on if another field has a certain status.For example:Status is a choice field with the choice of 'Pending', 'Approved', 'Cancelled'MyLink is a hyperlink or picture field/I want MyLink to be required if Status is 'Approved'.Here's my formula that I added in a Rule (with Rule Type: Validation) on the MyLink field, which does not work:Status=="Approved" && isNullOrEmpty({Self})

Hi all,I have 3 buttons in a form, one save button and other 2 are save and submit buttons. save will be saving the data to list without any validations.i am facing issue while submitting the data.

Are there Forms rules which allow rule-making against the web address and text to display elements of a hyperlink field?It would appear from where I am sitting that rule-making against the two different parts of a hyperlink field is not currently supported by Nintex Forms, correct?

Hello,This seems like it should be very simple, but I must be missing something.  I have a field on my form called CCIControl.  It is "Not connected" to any field in my list.  I use it for the session, and would like for it to be blank next time the item is edited.  But the value from the previous edit session remains.  How can I blank this out for each new edit session?Thank you!

HI all,Would like to see if anyone a suggestion on how I should approach the following.I am using SharePoint 2013, Nintex Forms & Workflow 2013I have a nintex form - which is set up as a content type and is published to many sites on a site collection.When the form is completed - a site collection reusable workflow pushes data from the site where form has been completed to a calendar on another site collection.  This all works beautifully.This is where I am stuck tho.If an item is updated on the calendar, I want selected fields  from the calendar to update the original form data on the site it came from. If I use the action "update multiple items" how can I get it to update the correct site with the form updates?The option with this action  is to first enter the URL of Site to update as the first field and the "list" as a separate field.Is anyone aware of an action or a combination of actions where I can put the destination site/list  in one field so the workflow knows which site/l

During testing of a timesheet system we have created within an On-prem SharePoint site (workflow and handovers powered by Nintex WF & Nintex Forms) I had to act as though I was a standard users, so I removed my Full Control permissions in exchange for Contribute (don't panic, a colleague still retained his and could reverse this after the test). This lead to a few workflows I designed failing. I then had a though, perhaps I should set the WKs toRun as workflow ownerChecking this option will cause this action, and any child actions, to run using the credentials of the user who published the workflow instead of the user who started the workflow. "; however I had a though.My major questions are:1) What would happen if I left the business?2) What would happen to all the workflows I have designed (would they all fail, as I assume my IT department would deactivate my account via Active directory)?3) What is the best practice for ensuring workflows run without depending on the credentials

Currently I have Nintex Form with a repeating section containing mutliple fields, among a few dropdown ones. Now the user wants to remove values (in the lookup list) and replace them with other, without selected old values in existing documents not to change. So my first thought was to replace the 2 involved dropdowns with a text field and populate them by clicking a button showing a popup with the latest dropdown values.How would I do this, most likely using some custom JavaScript? Any other possible solutions are also welcome.

I have a workflow with about 7 different approval levels. I'm experiencing a very frustrating problem whereby my workflow randomly re-starts when it's halfway through the workflow, for no reason. I have tried to combat this by including start conditions in the workflow settings, and including a 'run if' function at the top of the workflow. But, this doesn't seem to have achieved anything. It would be perfect if I could include a condition somewhere in the workflow settings that essentially says: 'Do not start workflow if another workflow with this item is already running'. But, I can't seem to achieve this. Thanks Shaun

Hi Team,We are facing issues in our farm where the Nintex workflows are failing after the .Net patching. The workflows fails and some gets terminated.Can you please help us in solving this issues.RegardsRamya

A multi-outcome task form has 3 choices in the decision box, A,B,C.  One rule is to make a box mandatory if B is selected in decision box.I got one formula working: isNullOrEmpty({Self}) && NWF$("[data-controlname='Decision'] input:checked").siblings("label").text() === "B"The other ruls is - I need to set a rule on another box to make it mandatory if A or C is selected.  Can someone help me on the formula this rule?Thanks in advance!

Goal:I want to create a save and continue button on the form that does the following 2 things:Saves the formReopens the form in Edit ModeBackground:I created a form that will only allow one record to have a user's name (which is an uneditable field) and the Monday of the week when the form was created.If a user tries to create a 2nd new form in the same week, the form hides all of the fields and tells the user to edit their previously submitted form for the week (and conveniently includes a hyperlink).I can't use the "Save and Continue" button action because this action keeps the form in "New Mode" rather than change it to Edit Mode, and the rules that I had set up collapse the form & force users to click on the hyperlink.This means that the button action needs to be set to JavaScript, but I need guidance on the following:            How do I capture the record's ID into a variable using JavaScript upon pressing the button to save the form?

I have created a 60-question, multi-branching form that populates a SharePoint 2013 list.I have used a button box to provide the illusion of multiple sections of questions.The requestor is asking that have a record counter so that each time the user fills out a new section and select <Save and Continue> I am able to display the number questions that have been answered thus far.  This way, if the user needs to come back later to answer more questions, they can readily see how may are left before the list record is complete and ready for review.Does anyone know how I can do this?Thank you!

I have a requirement to automate a task list we have within SharePoint. Currently, I have a simple task last which are assigned to individuals. It includes a 'Task Status' column with 'Assigned', 'In-Progress' and 'Completed' options.I want to set up the workflow so assignees receive an email once it is created and then with two links one which updates the 'Task Status' to 'In- Progress' and another link to 'Completed'.Sometimes the users will fully complete the task straight away and mark it as 'Completed' and other times they will mark it as 'In-Progress' and then 'Completed'.I'm trying to do the workflow so it means that the users get an email with their task and two links. One to 'Complete' the task and one to mark it as 'In-Progress'.This bit seems fairly straightforward and there are multiple ways to do this, however I don't want it that if they mark it as 'In-Progress' for them to get another email to now mark it as Completed. Ideally I'd like the two options in the same email.I

I am using a list workflow. This workflow has a start form and I added a attachment control.Now I have to copy that attachments to the list element using Vadims base64 Action. But I can't find the destination of the added attachments. Also I can't get the ID of this list workflow.Where can I extract them? Any clue?Thank you.Oliver

I have a list with a choice field, that has 20 different choices in it.  Once three new items have been added that select the same choice, I want that choice to be eliminated from the list (or throw a customizable error to select another choice).Is this possible?If my explanation wasn't clear:Let's say my choices are Red shirts, blue shirts, and yellow shirts.  I only have three of each.  If three people fill out the form and they all select Red shirts, then Red shirts shouldn't be an option for the fourth person to fill out the form (or should throw an error).

HelloThis is more a curious question which I always noticed but don't know the answer or have an explanation to.Whenever an item is created the created by [is the User's name] which is normal BUT when for example an approval workflow is complete, the Modified by is always the user's name as the last person to edit the item.Although the user does not edit or modify it.Of course they click the Submit button which then initiates the workflow process etc.Is this normal??I guess it is because the workflow is initiated by the user and therefore the user is always the "modified by" although the approval has been approved by a manager and the process is complete.Furthermore, it can be confusing because it gives the impression as if the initiator has actually made some changes to the item. Although, you can use the Version History to keep track of what's been changed and by whom.Exactly! All the changes are "Modified by... the initiator's name" even when it's approved by myself for example.
