Hi allI have developed a custom control for Nintex Forms and sucessfully installed it using the guide: Register the custom control with the Nintex Forms manager.It is however a tedious manual process, so is there a way to do it through SharePoint Feature, i.e. event receiver, where it is both added and remove when the feature is activated and deactivated?Alternative, something like NWA files?Note: I am using Nintex for SharePoint 2016 4.3.1.0 with SharePoint 2016.Matt Briggs‌ I see you have blogged about creating custom controls before, can you help?

Hello Nintex community,I have a JavaScript function that fires based off a change using an .on "change" function. I'd much rather us the .on "onmouseout" function, but for some reason, it doesn't work. Basically, Im doing a check on rather a user has entered text into a input field...so far the user would have to click anywhere on the form for the code to fire, or tab. i'd much rather, once the user has finished typing and the cursor leaves that text input, that the function below will fire.Here is my working code below: NWF$(".nf-outer").on("change", ".cssDescriptionLine", function () {    var $row = NWF$(this).parents('.nf-repeater-row').first();   var description = $row.find(".cssDescriptionLine input");   var descriptionValue = description.val();   if (descriptionValue !== '') {      NWF$("input[value$='Save']").attr('disabled', false);   }    else if (descriptionValue === '') {      NWF$("input[value$='Save']").attr('disabled', true);    }});I'd prefer this instead: NWF$(".nf-oute

Hello,I know that site workflows run on a schedule.  But is there any way to collect information from the user before the scheduled workflow runs?Thanks,

Hi There,I have one SharePoint (2013) list, which includes multiple Content Types (though we've been only using one to date for our purposes so far). Our employees have grown accustomed to an online news submission form we built using Nintex Forms this year to allow them to submit requests to the Corporate Communications team for different types of content (e.g., General News, Org Announcements, Employee Spotlights, etc.) they need published on our intranet. We've added some Nintex workflows as well and the process is going well so far.Prior to this, employees would send us emails, phone calls, desk drop-by's - all very inefficient and we had no way to really manage this growing workload. While our team has been very successful with this process / behavioral change his year, but there's something I'm trying to do to simplify the process even further going into 2019.Though we've only been using the "General News" content type we built to support all types of these requests, it would be

SharePoint Workflow 2013I have a list workflow that triggers when a Topic is changed. Finds the Folder with the same Topic name by it's ID.   I can't find a way to rename the folder to equal the Topic.I used  Query List (filter  by Folder content type) but doesn't work.  I also used the update item and it still doesn't work.Perhaps Call Web Service UpdateListItems but I'm stuck at the field "Updates (xml)".Can someone please give me a hand?Thanks,Monica

Hi wonderful Nintexers I have an Applications list which has a End of Life column. What I need to happen is that a RAG Status column is updated as Amber if it's 12 months after the date in the End of Life column and Red if it's 18 months after.I've done a similar thing a long time ago so I'm a bit rusty. In the site workflow I've got a Query List action and a Calculate Date which looks up the Applications lists gets the End of date field adds 12 months and stores it in a date variable called date_12month. Am I heading in the right direction? Also how would I check that the date to update the RAG Status column? Any help appreciated!

401:Unauthorized when publishing a nintex workflow only when it contains an "Assign Flexi Task" action. Even though I have Full Control permission.any idea how to fix this ?_ I'm using Sharepoint 13_ I have checked the Allowed workflow designers, and i made sure this list is inheriting from the parent site permissions._ And i made sure that the action is allowed to be used in Managed Allowed ActionsFirst, when I click Publish I get prompted for my user id (3 times), and when i authenticate 3 times, a box then appears saying "401: Unauthorized".Please advise.ThanksJamal

I am attempting to set a validation rule against a control to prevent it from being blank unless another control equals "Instructor Substitute".  Here is what i have in the rule.PaySchedule==""&&PositionTitle!="Instructor Substitute"Now the control name i have the rule on is PaySchedule.  If I remove the section of PositionTitle, the rule functions correctly.  I've checked my spelling just to make sure somewhere I've made a stupid typo.  I've also tried removing the check against the control being blank and have it check on PositionTitle.  That check never seems to work.  For some reason, it cannot see what is actually in that control.  Not sure if it matters or not, but PositionTitle is a Sql Request Control.  Is there something here I'm missing?  

I have a multi-line text box with enhanced text on a responsive form. In view mode line returns show correctly but in edit mode line returns are stripped. I would like them to show in the edit mode. Checked the SharePoint list and the <br/> show there as well. 

I create an Edit Form on list named Pitch. One of the fields (string) contains a link to an external site. I not only want to display this link at the form but also want to insert a direct link for the user to click. Therefore I use the Insert Link. But to my great surprise ALWAYS the link to the list is added in front of the URL. It looks like this:Before inserting the link I display for clarity of this message the URL and the Item URL.When published the form shows a very strange link to my surprise:That won't work for sure.But what to do? Or is this a bug?

Hi All,I am trying to create an workflow to organize a quiz in my department. Now there are 2 sharepoint lists, one with the answer key and another with only the questions where the user goes and submits the answer choices. Now the output I am trying to get is the workflow should check how many questions have been answered correctly and calculate percentage score and send the Questions and right answers back to the user for the questions he have answered wrongly. I cannot seem to find a Compare field option in the available fields. Can someone please help me with a straw man of the workflow. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,I am trying to replace all characters before the the first capital letter. It's not a set number of characters that needs replacing. The pattern is like this 222#Firstname.Lastname (but preceding number of characters changes)Using .+?(?=[#]) I can replace everything before the # but not including the #. Using .+?(?=[A-Z]) I end up with just the last name.#Firstname.LastnameWhat I want is Firstname.LastnameI'm sure its not hard I just haven't worked with Regular expressions much.Thanks in advance for any tips.

When a label is associated with a control whose Validation settings set to Required = Yes, a red asterisk (*) is shown with the label as a visual indicator that this field is required.However, the positioning of this indicator seems to be inconsistent as shown in the following image:As you can see, the Title label appears by default when creating a new Nintex form on a list, and the * indicator appears immediately after the label text. However, with the two controls I manually inserted, each with Required = Yes, and their associated labels, the * indicator appears immediately below the label text.Initially, I thought this was controlled via the default CSS being applied, but even when I apply the same CSS class to my manually inserted label (nf-form-label nf-section), the * indicator still appears below.This leads me to think it has nothing to do with the CSS, and when I inspect the HTML of my manually inserted label I notice there's a <br> between the label text and the * indica

Hi all,I've built a form with a repeating section. The repeating section has numerous data fields that users fill out with information about nonconforming products. This will include things such as product lot numbers, a unique identifier to look up the incident, and identifying information about the nonconforming products (i.e., the nature of the non-conformance, the quantity which is non-conforming, etc.). My users have requested for me to build a way for them to generate a short PDF report based upon the information they have input; however, they don't need all of the info from the repeating section.I had hoped to be able to do this using jsPDF. However, I'm finding it less malleable than I would like for my needs. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. The main issue I've been running into with jsPDF is that there doesn't seem to be a way to store the user input data from the repeating section as a Javascript variable to be sent to jsPDF to generate a new document. My attem

Morning all,Open to creative suggestions on this one.We have a checkbox field on a form with certain criteria relating to the record (boxes manually selected by the user which allow us to quickly filter records).When new information is entered into the notes (edit view), the user should re-evaluate the check boxes to see if any new criteria applies based on the new information entered in the notes, however users are regularly forgetting to update the check boxes.Management have asked for the form to prompt the user to re-evaluate the check boxes each time the case is opened in edit view (preferably upon clicking save, not immediately as the form opens).I thought about making the check boxes a required field and clearing the values on edit mode, however if the criteria doesn't change then there will be no way of knowing what was previously selected before it was cleared - so not practical.Any other suggestions?Thanks in advance,Dan V

I have a somehow critical workflow "Determine technical owners". This workflow:selects from a large list all work areas that are currently productiveLooks into the group Owner by web serviceand write the people in the master list. Technically, this is a:The site collection workflow finds all the IDs of the elements from the master list (that is, all workspaces) -> 1; 2; 4; xyz; 452)and starts a list workflow on all these workspaces via web service, which then looks into the groups and finally fills the element.Everything worked well during the test. In production, however, I get errors here, the workflow always stops after 5-6 minutes (no matter where it stands). Until then he works correctly. Do you have any idea where to look here?My first research showed that Nintex can only start 15 workflows at times and the rest are then "put on hold"? For me, the following questions arise: • do you know the problem?Do you have any idea how we can fix that quickly?        o Do you see a way t
